It doesn’t appear that Taylor Swift will stick around for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.
On Tuesday night, there were questions about whether or not Swift should even attend the Chiefs‘ parade due to the security concerns about her presence from city officials.

Speaking to KCUR’s Up To Date, Kansas City Manager Brian Platt expects Swift to help drive more people to the event — if even to get a glimpse of the superstar. He suggests that fans may start lining up along the parade route the night before the celebration.
“That’s gonna be a whole second level of security issues that we have to deal with — the crowds and all that sort of thing,” Platt said. “So we are more than ready. We have no concerns with our safety protocols and what we’re doing to make sure that the route will be free of any issues.”
Platt hinted that city officials may have already told Swift’s team that her presence at the parade may be too much for the city’s security to handle on its own.
“I can’t confirm or deny but we might have already told that to her team, just to keep everybody safe and make things a little bit easier for us,” he said.
According to a report from KC.com, Swift will not attend the Chiefs Super Bowl parade because she’s on her way to Melbourne, Australia, to continue her tour.
“A private jet, believed to be carrying Swift, departed LAX earlier this morning en route to Hawaii, with flight logs showing the plane is due to land in Melbourne shortly after midnight tonight. Though Swift’s representatives and the jet’s operating company are yet to confirm that the 34-year-old megastar is using the plane, it is the same vessel that reportedly jetted Swift on her mad dash from Tokyo back to the United States in time to attend the Super Bowl.”
Some fans will be extremely disappointed to learn Swift will not be in Kansas City, considering there will be tens of thousands of fans in attendance hoping to catch a glimpse of the pop star.
