Taylor Swift has been defended by fans after the internet pointed out what some people are calling 'unusual' behaviour at her boyfriend Travis Kelce's latest American football game.
The Kansas City Chiefs took on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday (14 September) for their first home game of the season, and according to reports, the 35-year-old singer was there to support her fiancé.
Now, this isn't uncommon as the 'Bad Blood' hitmaker has regularly been seen dressed in the team colours, cheering on tight end Travis at Arrowhead Stadium.
During a recent episode of Travis' podcast New Heights, Taylor revealed that the first time she ever went to a Chiefs game, she even walked right through the main door of general admission and nobody noticed.

So, now that videos are circulating of the star seemingly using a barrier to enter the stadium and avoid being photographed, people are confused.
A clip appears to show staff bringing out a large foldable screen and wheeling it out as someone walks along behind it, with the internet convinced it's Taylor.
I mean, it wouldn't be all that surprising considering she would arrive at the Era's Tour in a cleaning cart in order to go undetected!
After the video was shared on Reddit, one user wrote: "Why is this necessary for what appears to be a very short walk? She doesn’t usually care."
A second questioned: "Yea, I’m also wondering since she’s never done this for a Chiefs game before.. Wonder what’s going on..?"
And over on X, some trolls cruelly slammed the singer, even branding her a 'diva' for taking the security measures.
"Who else thinks this is absolutely ridiculous and next level stupid?" one social media user penned.
While another wrote: "Strangest thing I've ever seen why now when she's been seen so many times at these games before? Not once has she been seen on the broadcast either very strange. If it was a protection thing surly she just wouldn't go."
However, fans of Taylor have been quick to rush to her defence, explaining that it could be a security issue, and even if it's not, who really cares if she wants to avoid the cameras for once?
"Probably security. Maybe she's had threats this week. Who knows?" commented one Redditor.
Someone else pointed out: "They didn’t show her once on the broadcast so there must have been some agreement to keep it secret she was there."
While one user added: "You ever have days where you just don't want to deal with s**t? Maybe she's having one of those days.
"Maybe she got some bad news or something and wants to be in the same building as her fiancé but not have to deal with being famous. I'm not even a fan but if I was stupid rich I'd probably do the same thing."
Another agreed: "That was my thought. It must be exhausting just being watched all of the time."
They added: "This is a clear 'please leave me alone' for the 5 minutes (or however long it takes) to get where she can comfortably be to enjoy her fiancé’s game, because they’re both still people and why shouldn’t she get to enjoy his work with him. It doesn’t have to be a security fiasco, it can literally just be a request to be left alone and there’s nothing wrong with that."
And one fan chimed in with: "S**t, I don’t blame her. She’s literally one of the most famous people in the world. I wouldn’t want to deal with the bulls**t she does."
Tyla has contacted representatives of Taylor Swift for comment.
