Taylor Swift’s security commands photographers to 'stand up'
Taylor Swift arrived about an hour before the game and paused her walk when security guards shouted at photographers. Dressed in a coordinating red skirt and jacket, the pop star prompted photographers to rise before she approached them closely.
The decision appeared to be made by the Grammy winner's security team in an effort to safeguard her modesty as she passed by.
In a video uploaded to X, several security guards can be seen leading the way for Swift, commanding the assembled photographers to "stand up, stand up."
It is a common practice for those at the front of the press pack to kneel, ensuring they do not obstruct the view of the reporters and photographers behind them.
This time, the security team made certain that Swift was safeguarded, and all photographers were instructed to remain standing as she made her way through the stadium to the VIP suite.
As she passed, a photographer knelt once more, prompting Swift's security guard to yell at him to "stand up."
Trying to block the photographer's lens, the security staffer yelled while Swift passed by in the background. She arrived at the game about an hour after her boyfriend Travis Kelce, who sported a red cardigan, sparking social media speculation that it was a tribute to his famous girlfriend, Daily Mail reported.
Swift has attended all five of the Chiefs' home games this season, including the recent game against the Broncos. Altogether, she has attended 17 total games of Travis Kelce, the first time being in a VIP suite in September 2023.
