**Taylor Swift Skips Fiancé Travis Kelce’s Away Game Against the New York Giants Despite Owning NYC Penthouse**

Taylor Swift skipped fiancé Travis Kelce’s away game against the New York Giants, RadarOnline.com can reveal, even though she owns a lavish penthouse in New York City.
The move came just one week after Swift, 35, took extraordinary security measures by hiding behind a movable bulletproof screen when entering Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs’ first home game of the 2025 season.
### No Repeat Appearance at MetLife Stadium
All eyes were on Swift at MetLife Stadium on September 21, the site where she watched Kelce, 35, and the Chiefs play against the New York Jets back in October 2023. On that occasion, she famously brought along then-BFF Blake Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and mutual friend Hugh Jackman after enjoying a girls’ night out with her A-list pals in the city.
Swift’s absence at the recent Giants game was notable, especially following her highly unusual behavior in Kansas City. During the Chiefs’ home opener loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the singer was escorted through a hallway to an elevator bank while a 7-foot-tall black bulletproof screen obscured fans and photographers from capturing her arrival. The screen hid Swift as she eventually boarded an elevator to Kelce’s suite.
Several fans shared videos of the odd behavior, which contrasted sharply with Swift’s usual style of confidently sashaying into stadiums while showcasing fashionable game-day outfits.
### No Fashionable Arrivals at Giants Game
The New York Giants playfully pranked fans into thinking Swift was at the stadium. Their Jumbotron displayed a “Taylor Cam” featuring Swift’s hit song *Welcome to New York.* The camera moved behind a woman with wavy, sandy blonde hair before panning two rows down to legendary Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, who was smoking a cigar—revealing the ruse and sparking cheers throughout the stadium.
Swift’s absence wasn’t entirely unexpected, as she reportedly didn’t attend any of Kelce’s away games during the 2024 NFL season. The *Karma* singer reportedly preferred to be present only for Chiefs home games, where her security team is more familiar with the venue and better able to provide thorough protection.
### Staying Out of Sight
Some have speculated that Swift’s use of the bulletproof screen was a response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk just five days prior. With national tensions running high, many fans believe the *Cruel Summer* hitmaker took extra precautionary measures for her security.
Inside Kelce’s suite, Swift stayed far from the window where she is usually seated, positioning herself in the back to avoid NFL cameras. Meanwhile, her future brother-in-law, Jason Kelce, was seated front and center, watching the game unfold on the field.
### Alleged Stalker Goes Missing
Adding to the pressures Swift faces, her security team is currently dealing with a nightmare scenario involving her alleged stalker, Brian Jason Wagner, who has disappeared. Swift holds a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the 45-year-old Colorado man. However, no one has been able to reach him since September 15, despite multiple phone calls and text messages in an effort to alert him to a court hearing set for September 22.
The TRO, granted in June, was based on “unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, or stalking.”
With Swift scheduled to release her new album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, on October 3, her team is desperate to locate Wagner’s whereabouts.
A source close to Swift said, “As this saga continues with her stalker, it will take precedent over everything she does in her life and career until it is completely taken care of in the courts and through any authoritative measures.”
