KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: During a recent Kansas City Chiefs game, Taylor Swift's security team sternly warned NFL photographers not to take any intrusive or inappropriate pictures of the pop star, especially any that featured her upskirt.

Several photographers had assembled at the Arrowhead Stadium in anticipation of Swift's eagerly awaited weekly appearance at the game.



 

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.

Fans praise Taylor Swift's security team for protecting her privacy

As soon as the video of Taylor Swift's security team shielding her from photographers who were trying to take inappropriate photos of the singer went viral on social media, social media users began to commend them.

One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Kudos to Drew & the rest of Tay’s security team for telling those photographers to stand up so they can’t take photos under her skirt. Nope, not on their watch."



 

Another added, "Amazing how the security are doing there job...you cannot be taking ladies photo from underneath their skirt height."



 

One commentator remarked, "Oww I love her security so much."



 

"She is wearing a skirt. They need to take the pic standing up," another fan suggested.



 

Some users also slammed the paparazzi for attempting to take Swift's inappropriate photographs.

A person on X said, "These paparazzi are gross, trying to take pictures up her skirt."



 

Another added, "The fact Taylor’s security have to force paparazzi grown men to stand up off the floor to stop them trying to take photos up a woman’s skirt is insane. Men are literally trash. Actual trash."
