KANSAS CTY, MISSOURI: Taylor Swift's absence from recent Kansas City Chiefs games has sparked speculation, but insiders say it's not because of relationship issues with boyfriend Travis Kelce.

According to sources close to the situation, Swift has been staying away from NFL stadiums due to “fresh security fears,” and not because her romance with Kelce is “on the rocks.”

Taylor Swift’s absence from recent games sparks breakup rumors

After Taylor Swift’s enthusiastic attendance at last year’s games, including both home games at Arrowhead Stadium and away games, her recent absence from back-to-back games in Atlanta and Los Angeles raised eyebrows.

However, insiders were quick to dismiss the rumors of a breakup. “If she is going to a place that isn't Arrowhead, there are security concerns,” an insider explained to Page Six.

Swift has worked with Arrowhead Stadium frequently, and they feel secure with her attendance there, but other stadiums present a different challenge.

“Going to all kinds of different stadiums, you need to send a team in advance,” the source added.

Kelce, meanwhile, has been under scrutiny for his recent on-field performances, which have been less than stellar.

Critics speculated that personal turmoil might be affecting his playing abilities, but insiders once again shot down the rumors.

"They are both tough people," the source insisted, denying any issues between the couple.

The singer's security concerns have been hightented ever since the cancellation of three concerts in Vienna, following a thwarted ISIS terrorist attack.

Authorities, tipped off by the CIA, foiled the plan, which aimed to target Swift’s concert and harm tens of thousands of fans.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift fight 'showmance' rumors

Their relationship has been a target for rumors, including accusations of a staged “showmance” after a document suggesting a planned breakup was leaked.

Kelce’s spokesperson labeled the document “entirely false and fabricated.” Insiders also claimed the couple has taken steps to prove their relationship is genuine.

Swift attended the Chiefs' home opener on September 5, and afterward, she and Kelce were spotted celebrating with teammates at Prime Social in Kansas City.



 

The next night, they enjoyed a low-key pizza night in Brooklyn, where they notably declined VIP service.

“For so long they hid out at home because Swift was afraid to make a public misstep and get torn to shreds,” a source shared.

“But she’s determined to stop overthinking. Travis wanted pizza and to hang with normal people like he always used to.”



 

While Swift has stayed away from recent games, her absence has given the couple a break from intense media attention.

Swift has also been focusing on her work, preparing for the second US leg of her Eras Tour, which starts on October 18.



 

The couple's last public appearance together was at the US Open where they put packed on the PDA.
