London Times reported that Met headquarters even sought legal advice from the UK Attorney General on the matter before Swift was eventually granted escort.

In the midst of such turmoil, the source says the 31-year-old’s boyfriend, whom she has been dating since last summer, gives her “a huge sense of peace.”

“Just his physical presence. She feels safer with him than anyone she has ever known; she knows that he will do anything for her, and physically she feels protected by him, and she likes that feeling. This is a relatively new relationship issue for her,” the source added.

Swift returned to the stage at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, for the final leg of her Eras Tour over the weekend. MEGA

“Travis is her protector in every sense of the word. “He’ll make sure she’s safe physically and emotionally—he’s not going to do anything careless or reckless with her.”

Another industry source said: “Everyone is fascinated by Travis and Taylor. I’m obsessed with a possible wedding. Together they are invincible.”

Just don’t expect to see a star in any Kelsey road game this season — we’re told she doesn’t feel safe at venues other than Arrowhead Stadium unless it’s coordinated and vetted by her own staff.

“She won’t go anywhere unless she knows the venue intimately and it hasn’t been thoroughly scouted and secured beforehand,” said Swift’s source, who noted that the singer’s recent trips to Yankee Stadium to watch baseball and US Open Tennis Tournament with Kelsey were done with the help of staff who were “excellent” in meeting all safety requirements in advance.

Swift has spoken of her “devastatement” after she was forced to cancel concerts in Vienna this summer.

Austrian officials said the main suspect, a 19-year-old Austrian, was inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group.

Investigators found chemicals and technical devices during a raid on the suspect’s home, and it was reported that he was planning to strike near Ernst Happel Stadium, where more than 30,000 fans were expected to gather. Another 65,000 fans were likely inside the venue.

Swift admitted, “The reason for the cancellation filled me with a new sense of dread and a lot of guilt because so many people were planning on coming to these shows.”

But thanks to security, “we were grieving for shows, not lives,” she said, stressing that she had postponed the show until after the European leg of her Eras Tour to prioritize safety.

In her usual fearless fashion, Swift announced last month that she would be voting for Kamala Harris – shortly after Donald Trump used the star’s image on social media for his own campaign.

In her endorsement, Swift said, “This has led me to the conclusion that I need to be very open about my actual plans for this election as a voter.”

She’s voting for Harris “because she fights for rights and ideas that I believe need a warrior to champion… I was so encouraged and impressed by her choice of running mate @timwalz, who stands for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

She concluded by calling herself “Taylor Swift, the childless cat lady,” while harshly criticizing Trump candidate J.D. Vance.

Trump responded with a statement “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFTon its social media platform, Truth Social. And in an interview with Fox & Friends. “I wasn’t a Taylor Swift fan,” he said, “but she’s a very liberal person. She always seems to support the Democrat.

“But if you look at what happened to Nick Jonas last night, it’s a perfect example of what’s going on in the back of Taylor’s mind all the time.”

Even before Harris’s endorsement, “the temper was out of control,” the source said, adding: “Just look at how some football fans acted when all she did was sit in her hotel room and watch the game, having no control over it.” how often the cameras switched to her.”

Rachel Richardson, who wrote Flammable Trends told Page Six: “After the Eras Tour, I think it would be smart for Taylor to take a break, but I think it’s unlikely.

“Her and Travis. “They haven’t had a big red carpet date together yet, so I wonder if they’re keeping it… something like that would break the internet.”
