Is Taylor Swift Attending Chiefs at Steelers on Christmas?

She's a Kansas City Chiefs favorite. And she's a fan favorite.

So why is there any question that pop icon Taylor Swift will be in attendance at this Chiefs' Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers?

Security issues. That's why.

The Chiefs are 14-1 on the year and are a major drawing card on their own as they are set to take on the Steelers on Wednesday in a noon CT start.

And the game will be taking place in Swift's home state of Pennsylvania, so there is a tie there that pre-dates her relationship with boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Chiefs star tight end.

But there are indications - rumors emerging - that the Swift management team thinks the road games offer up an unfriendly atmosphere for the star, who just completed her Eras Tour, which made more than $1 billion.

She has in fact this year been a more regular attendee at home games in the friendly confines of KC's Arrowhead Stadium than on the road, with Adam Lefkoe, a friend of the Kelce family, recently telling the "Up & Adams" show that Swift was "shocked" by Buffalo's behavior when she attended a road playoff game last year.

Said Lefkoe: "I think they were kind of going in being like, 'This is going to be an amazing game with good energy.' And they got there and they experienced Bills Mafia in full form, in its complete ruthlessness."

"And I think they left and went, 'I don't know if I want to experience that again.'"
