Photographers at Arrowhead Stadium were given a stern warning by security as Taylor Swift arrived to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce on Sunday lunchtime.
As is customary for Swift’s much-anticipated weekly arrival, hordes of photographers had gathered in the bowels of the stadium to wait for her.
Swift turned up around an hour before the game, but she paused midway through her catwalk as security guards screamed at photographers.
With the popstar wearing a matching red skirt and jacket, those taking photos of her were made to stand up before she got too close to them.
The decision was seemingly made by security in a bid to protect Taylor’s modesty as she walked past.
Queen Taylor is in the building!👸🏼👑
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. 💪🏻

In a video posted to X, multiple security guards can be seen marching ahead of Swift, shouting ‘stand up, stand up’ to the waiting photographers.
It is customary for those at the front of the press pack to kneel down, to ensure that they are not blocking the view of the reporters and photographers behind.
This time, though, security ensured that Swift was protected, and all photographers were made to stand as she passed through the stadium on her way to the VIP suite.
As she passed through, one photographer knelt down again, leading to one of Taylor’s security guards screaming in his face for him to ‘stand up’.
As he shouted, he attempted to stand in front of the photographer’s camera, as Swift passed by in the background.
Her arrival at the game came around an hour after her boyfriend Kelce had turned up rocking a red cardigan – with many fans on social media speculating whether it may have been a nod to his superstar girlfriend.
Swift has not missed any of the Chiefs’ home games this season, attending all five at Arrowhead including today’s match-up against the Broncos.
In total, she has now been to see Travis play 17 times across this season and last season, first popping up in the VIP suite in September 2023.
Incredibly, she’s seen 13 wins from 16 games going into today’s face-off with Denver, the most important of which coming in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl in February.
It has been a topsy-turvy week for Swift, who was in KC to watch Kelce and the Chiefs beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, before she returned to New York.
On Tuesday, Swift will have been devastated to see Donald Trump triumph in the US presidential election having publicly endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris earlier this year.
