An incognito Taylor Swift sent fans into a frenzy after mysteriously arriving for Travis Kelce and the Chiefs' first home game of the season hidden behind a giant screen.
The pop megastar typically steals the show when she heads to Arrowhead Stadium to watch her beau in action, yet she opted to do so secretively for Kansas City's Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Daily Mail understands Swift, who initially appeared to skip the game, was actually in attendance after sneaking into the stadium almost undetected, with footage later surfacing of her entering behind a screen. She was also not pictured watching on from her usual private suite.
It is currently unclear why she went to such drastic lengths to stay hidden on the day, with some fans suggesting she is sporting a bold new look and others claiming the NFL was poised to unveil her as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer.
Others, meanwhile, are convinced that Swift arrived out of the spotlight because she is pregnant - just over a month since her and Kelce announced they are engaged.
A number of users also pointed out that it may have been a security measure following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University this week. Swift has publicly expressed her support for the Democrats over the years.

One month after announcing her engagement to Kelce, Swift's secrecy has left fans curious
One fan peddled the baby theory by writing on X: 'She pregnant?!?!? I know I shouldn’t assume, but what else could it be??? Maybe she broke a leg or something??'
Another agreed and put: 'guys it’s crazy but what if shes pregnant…'
'She’s pregnant, shotgun wedding incoming,' a third predicted, citing the term for a wedding arranged quickly in response to a premarital pregnancy.
However, one countered by saying: 'She probably has a new look for the album release'.
While another claimed: 'I think with everything going on right now, it’s for safety and security reasons.'
One user agreed with that take by commenting: 'i think is for her safety.. y’all are reaching with those pregnancy rumors… God forbid a woman get some privacy'.
Yet unlike what some predicted, she was not unveiled as the next Super Bowl halftime performer during Sunday's game in Kansas City.
Daily Mail has reached out to Swift's representatives for comment.
Taylor, who was last spotted celebrating fellow Chiefs WAG Brittany Mahomes' 30th birthday at the end of August, announced her engagement to Kelce last month and sent the internet into meltdown, with her post on Instagram accruing over 37 million likes.

Others believe Swift and Kelce are expecting their first child together after getting engaged
Prior to Sunday's game, Kelce opened up to Swiftie and Fox Sports host Erin Andrews about the details of his recent proposal.
'I gotta know... dry mouth, the nerves,' Andrews began on the FOX pregame show. 'How rattled did you get when you proposed? I haven't even asked you this, by the way!'
'Umm... she can tell that story,' Kelce replied, laughing. 'The palms were definitely sweating, I was definitely... I'm an emotional guy so there were a few tears here and there.
'But it's just been an exciting ride and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with her.'
After arriving in secret, Swift witnessed an Arrowhead defeat for the very first time as Kelce and the Chiefs were beaten by the Eagles again.
Seven months on from their drubbing at the Super Bowl, Kansas City suffered a narrower 20-17 loss to go 0-2 this season, following last week's opening defeat against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.
