Staggered Taylor Swift is taking drastic efforts to secure a small amount of privacy as her fame continues to soar, a new report claimed.
“She’s arguably one of the most famous people in the world now. Even Hollywood superstars and royals are throwing themselves at her feet constantly. There’s nowhere she can go where she isn’t recognized,” an unnamed source told The National Enquirer.
Since last autumn, the level of excitement and interest surrounding the 34-year-old singer You Need to Calm Down has significantly increased due to her relationship with 34-year-old NFL star Travis Kelce. “It’s nearly impossible for her to leave the house without it causing a huge scene,” the insider claimed.
Currently, Taylor is compelled to take additional measures to regain moments of privacy. Consequently, anytime she travels anywhere, umbrellas, screens, or hanging curtains must be arranged to obstruct her visibility before she will exit her vehicle, as reported by the informant.
“It’s not like she can go out and live any kind of normal life, so it’s made her more dependent on her disguises. When she isn’t making an appearance, she rarely goes anywhere without a wig. She’s always been into dressing up in disguises, partly for fun and partly because she values her privacy,” the tipster suggested.
“There are also times she’s hidden in giant suitcases to get in somewhere without being spotted. And once she went so far as to hide inside a recycling bin to be wheeled into an NFL game!” it went on.
The mole emphasizes that at this juncture, the concern extends beyond privacy and include safety. “The level of attention she’s getting is bordering on scary! There’s just a much more intense reaction from people when they see her. And as much as she’s grateful for all this fame, it can be overwhelming,” it said.
Meanwhile, authorities have disclosed that they were compelled to intervene following the emergence of alarming threats directed towards Taylor on social media. According to News.com.au, a man who had made threats against Taylor on social media was apprehended while attempting to attend her concert in Germany.
The alleged stalker, an individual aged 34 whose identity remains undisclosed, possessed a ticket to attend Swift's concert at Gelsenkirchen's Veltins-Arena on Wednesday. According to the police, he was held during entry checks to the event since the initial investigation could not completely eliminate the possibility of a risk.
The individual allegedly made multiple threats towards Taylor and her partner, Travis Kelce, on social media. According to the police, he was apprehended based on information provided by the event organizers.
The renowned American celebrity performed in Gelsenkirchen on consecutive days from Wednesday to Friday as part of her Eras Tour. According to reports, the man was instructed to remain in custody until Saturday, following the conclusion of Taylor’s three consecutive performances in the city.
Taylor, who is 34 years old, is presently embarking on a tour across Europe that has set new records. Her upcoming itinerary includes a two-night performance in Hamburg followed by three performances in Munich.
Travis has been accompanying his Grammy-winning ladylove on her international travels since his team emerged victorious in the Super Bowl in February. Aside from the two nights spent in Germany, he has also attended concerts in Buenos Aires, Sydney, Singapore, Paris, London, Dublin, and Amsterdam.
At her initial two performances in Germany, the 34-year-old tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs provided encouragement to the "Karma" singer. On Thursday night, Travis was observed affectionately placing his arm around Taylor’s shoulder as they left the stage.
Earlier, Chairman Clark Hunt of the Kansas City Chiefs stated that strict processes were implemented to guarantee the safety of Taylor during her frequent appearances at NFL games to support Travis in late 2023 and this year.
