“I’M AFRAID THAT ONE MISTAKE… WILL BE THE LAST SHOT.” Taylor Swift — the woman who once brought the world to its feet in the spotlight — now has to hide behind black curtains and be surrounded by security like a head of state. After a series of threats, a stalker at her home, and a political assassination just weeks later, Taylor and Travis Kelce signed an $8 million-a-year deal to ensure she would live, not just perform. At Arrowhead Stadium, she no longer walked like a queen — she moved like a hunted target, through secret tunnels, avoiding all cameras. The Chiefs had to upgrade security, add counter-assault experts, and control the entire VIP area because of one person: Taylor Swift. And the biggest shock? “Taylor no longer feels safe in front of crowds,” an insider revealed. <>MW

TAYLOR Swift is spending an extra $2 million on security amid fears for her safety, a source close to the global superstar has told The U.S. Sun.

The usually public-facing singer has retreated into the shadows recently, following stalker issues and the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk.

Taylor’s appearances in Kansas City to watch fiancée Travis Kelce play in the NFL have been extremely low-key.

This included turning up at Arrowhead Stadium behind a screen last month.

She was seen during the Monday win over the Washington Commanders with Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany, after slipping in via the VIP entrance.

But the Cruel Summer singer is undoubtedly shying away from the cameras.

An insider has told The U.S. Sun that Taylor and Travis have now agreed to spend a hefty $8 million per year – a recent $2 million increase – on a security team to ensure protection at NFL games and elsewhere.

Her movements are being constantly monitored, with her schedule pored over by her expert security detail to ensure maximum protection.

The Chiefs have also reportedly been helping to ensure game days are a pleasurable experience for the 35-year-old.

This comes alongside the times when she visits the city with Kelce.

The source claims two new experts have been hired to make sure she is “100% safe and comfortable all the time.”

“The measures at Arrowhead Stadium are important for her,” confirmed the insider.

“She knows she is always the center of attention and wants to avoid that if possible.”

Stalker Brian Jason Wagner, 45, received a five-year restraining order last month.

He repeatedly showed up at her home and claimed she was the mother of his child.

The slaying of Kirk on September 10, meanwhile, has only heightened fears when attending public events.

“There is a concern about recent tensions, and Kirk’s murder didn’t ease that,” continued the source.

“She is seeing America getting tense, which is creating a feeling of unease.

“Taylor is someone who can never live a normal life, so her safety and security are a top priority.”

The U.S. Sun contacted a spokeswoman for the multiple Grammy winner, but she is yet to respond.
