• Taylor Swift is at Travis Kelce’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders today despite not being photographed.
• Swift made her first on-camera appearance during the NFL season last weekend after flying under the radar at multiple home games.
• The star recently spoke about how she avoids being seen when she doesn’t want to deal with the attention.

Taylor Swift made her first on-camera appearance of the NFL season last weekend at her fiancé Travis Kelce’s Detroit Lions game after attending multiple Kansas City Chiefs home games without being photographed.

For this afternoon’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, the singer attended but chose to stay out of the spotlight. ELLE has learned Swift is at the Kansas City, Missouri sporting event, cheering her partner on, despite not being photographed at the stadium.

Swift recently spoke to BBC Radio 2 about how she purposely flies under the radar when she doesn’t want to deal with cameras. Presenter Scott Mills asked her what her best quality as a spy would be: “I think the entering and exiting building without being seen,” she responded. “Just put me in a garbage can, roll me, I don’t care. Honestly, I can fit in like, a purse. Sometimes I just can’t deal with it [the paparazzi and attention] and in those times, I won’t deal with it. I’m just digging tunnels under every building I go into, airlifting in through the skylight.”

The star is well aware of how some NFL fans perceive her, telling Time in December 2023 that she isn’t seeking attention during the Chiefs’ games: “I’m just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

She said it’s a surprise to her when she’s filmed too: “I don’t know how they know what suite I’m in. There’s a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don’t know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don’t know if I’m being shown 17 times or once.”

Still, Kelce cherishes Swift’s support. Back in January, he spoke on The Stephen A. Smith Show about her thoughts on him potentially retiring. “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” he said. “She loves coming to Arrowhead [Stadium] and coming to the games and cheering for me so I’ve got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”

He added, “That’s the beauty of being in a really strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you. You know, that’s why I wanted to be at the concerts, support her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life. I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player I can possibly be week in and week out for this team. It’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”
