Taylor Swift kept out of sight during fiancé Travis Kelce’s first home game of the 2025–26 NFL season, setting off a wave of fan theories online.

Page Six revealed that the 35-year-old superstar quietly slipped into Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sunday for the Chiefs’ matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The singer reached her VIP suite by moving behind a large screen — a rare tactic for Swift, who is usually photographed on her way into the stadium.

Another clip from Sunday seemed to capture Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, also walking behind the screen.

During the game, Taylor was never photographed, nor did she appear on the Jumbotron — a sharp contrast to her past NFL outings.

So why did the “Bad Blood” singer decide to stay completely under the radar? Page Six is exploring the top five possible explanations.

Security worries

Taylor is typically seen at Kelce’s games, often seated in a VIP suite with his family and friends.

Some fans believe she may have increased her security precautions following the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, 31, was fatally shot last Wednesday while delivering a speech at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback Tour.

There has been heightened security at various events across the nation due to the traumatic events that took place last week.

It would make sense that Taylor’s security team would also want to take extra precautions.

She dyed or cut her hair

Some fans speculate that Taylor may have dyed, cut, or otherwise dramatically changed her hair ahead of her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl.

She revealed the new project last month during her first appearance on the New Heights podcast, co-hosted by Kelce, 35, and his brother, retired Eagles center Jason Kelce.

The Life of a Showgirl is slated for release on October 3.

She’s expecting a baby.

Naturally, the theories wouldn’t be complete without some fans speculating that she might be pregnant.

The singer hasn’t been seen in public since August 29.

Some Swifties took to social media with unverified theories suggesting Taylor was hiding a pregnancy bump as the reason for staying out of the public eye.

Fans also pointed out that the musician skipped the Chiefs’ season opener last Friday in São Paulo, Brazil, and was absent from the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards two days later.

The last time Taylor was seen in public was on August 29 at Arrowhead Stadium, watching Travis’ alma mater, the University of Cincinnati, face the University of Nebraska.

Just three days earlier, the couple had announced their engagement.

She doesn’t want to overshadow Travis.

Many NFL fans have voiced frustration that Taylor has been drawing attention away from the sport in recent years.

Since Taylor started dating Travis in the summer of 2023, all eyes — and cameras — have followed her whenever she attends his games.

The couple confirmed their relationship when the Grammy winner appeared at one of the tight end’s home games that September.

While Swifties have enjoyed all the attention she’s received, many NFL fans have expressed a desire for the focus to stay on the sport.

Additionally, with this likely being Travis’ final season before retirement, it’s possible his fiancée is intentionally avoiding stealing his spotlight.

She’s still recovering from the Super Bowl.

Some have suggested that Swift may still be recovering after being booed at Super Bowl LIX.

The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40–22 in New Orleans.

Some fans have also speculated that Taylor may still be recovering from the public embarrassment she faced at Super Bowl LIX, held at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans in February.

Not only did the Chiefs lose 40–22 to the Eagles — their rematch opponent on Sunday — but Taylor was also booed by Eagles fans after appearing on the big screen.

President Trump, who attended the game, later mocked the singer over the awkward incident.

Representatives for Taylor did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment on these fan theories.
