Taylor Swift is undoubtedly one of the most famous women in the world. The singer is a global superstar who has amassed millions of fans across the world. She’s beloved by her army of Swifties. However, with her high level of fame comes a lot of risk. One of the main issues that the singer runs into is security. Because she’s so loved and well-known, she’s forced to travel everywhere with security. Unfortunately for Swift, this also includes the bathroom.
According to The Daily Mail, a new video of Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl has gone viral. In the clip, the Love Story singer is seen exiting the bathroom with her male security guard. However, fans weren’t upset about the fact that Swift had a man who wasn’t her boyfriend Travis Kelce in the bathroom with her. Instead, they were heartbroken that she was forced to do so for her own safety.
In the video, Swift is clearly seen coming out of the bathroom at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans during the big game. She’s wearing a white tank top, matching thigh-high boots, and sparkly denim shorts. As she exits the restroom, her bodyguard, Drew, is seen trailing behind her.
Fans then began to realize the weight of what Taylor has to deal with on a regular basis. Many branded the scene “sad” or “crazy,” but others laid it out as the only way the singer could feel safe in such a populated area. One fan even pointed out that there’s a good chance someone would try to get a compromising photo of Swift over or under a bathroom stall if not for her bodyguard’s presence.
Taylor Swift Swift Bathroom Exit Raises Concerns For Her Safety
“I can’t believe what I just saw. She’s not even safe in the bathroom. So sad,” one fan commented.
“Like her or not it is sad that she has to have 24/7 protection. She has been stalked multiple times, break-ins at her property’s and fans of all sorts waiting for her wherever she goes,” said another.
“She has a right to be safe,” a third comment read.
“Very sad that she doesn’t feel safe while using public restrooms and has to do that! Fame sure comes with a price!” a fourth person wrote.
Taylor Swift fans recognize Drew all too well. The security guard is a staple in her entourage and has become like a shadow for her over the years.
Sadly, the security is more than a precaution for Taylor Swift. Over the years, she’s dealt with some scary situations, including multiple stalkers. Her homes in New York, Rhode Island, and California have all been targeted by obsessed men. One man, Roger Alvarado, was found sleeping in the singer’s bed after breaking into her NYC residence, per BBC.
It helps when Taylor Swift is accompanied by her big, NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce. However, no matter what, she’s forced to travel with bodyguards and other security members in order to feel safe going out into public. The viral video was a wake-up call to some fans, as they now realize just how much of an inconvenience it is to rise to Taylor’s level of fame.
