Super Bowl Security Made Strict Request to Media Upon Taylor Swift’s Arrival

She did it folks.

Taylor Swift has made it to The Big Game.

After fans worried that Swift might struggle to make it from a run of shows in Japan over the past week back to the United States in time to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce play in Super Bowl LVIII, the biggest pop superstar in the world made her grand entrance to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas about two hours before kickoff.

But as was made very clear to reporters on the ground at the Super Bowl, no pictures were allowed.

Several reporters who were on their way into the stadium posted messages on social media of just how strict things were in the space surrounding Swift’s entrance.

Security stopped us in the tunnel and said NO PHONES! Taylor Swift just arrived at Allegiant Stadium with Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and Ashley Avignonne. Swift was wearing all black with a red chiefs jacket thrown over her shoulders.

Pretty wild that even game security officers weren’t allowed to walk through and were chastened for texting their bosses about the security posts that weren’t going to be properly manned because of this lockdown https://t.co/NXYoC31hhx

While the reporters in the stadium were not allowed to capture images of Swift’s grand entrance, rest assured the moment was covered in depth by CBS’s cameras, with Swift arriving in her suite and sharing a nice hug with Jason Kelce, and introducing the Eagles center to Ice Spice.
