Taylor Swift gave a lesson in politeness to one of her security guards this Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, right before watching her NFL superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce take on the Denver Broncos. And what did the lesson include? A little schooling on how to handle the paparazzi with a touch of decorum.
Taylor, who’s been the talk of Kansas City since her romance with Kelce went public, arrived in style. Video captured her zipping through the stadium in a golf cart with her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, right beside her. As they reached a crowd of photographers, one security guard wasn’t exactly gentle with his words, commanding the photogs to “stay back” in a way that had a bit too much bark for Taylor’s liking.
Taylor wasn’t having it. Swiftly, she responded with a pointed correction: “Stay back, please,” giving the guard a quick etiquette adjustment. Clearly, she’s not just teaching the world about heartbreak and romance through her music; she’s got a few tips on how to manage public relations too.
A Star in the Stands
Once Taylor and her folks got to their VIP suite, she settled in to watch the game, smiling and waving to fans like the pop queen she is. And boy, did she have a lot to cheer about — Travis had an impressive game, racking up 14 catches and helping secure the Chiefs’ 16-14 victory over the Broncos. For fans, seeing Taylor there was as much a highlight as the game itself.
