LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift fans believe they have worked out exactly how she left the Arrowhead Stadium's VIP box to meet up with Travis Kelce without being spotted by fans and it involves an ingenious use of a popcorn machine.
Swift was a VIP guest of the Kansas City Chiefs star at their win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, September 24, and the pair have since made headlines around the world after being spotted leaving the stadium together in his vintage convertible.
Taylor Swift's covert exit and the 'popcorn machine theory'
While there are images and video of them leaving the stadium, it is unclear how Taylor made it from the VIP box to meet Kelce after the game had ended — although some fans believe they have worked it out.
A video has gone viral, with some Swifties claiming it shows the popstar hiding inside a popcorn machine, to avoid being caught by fans.
The machine is being wheeled by a tight-lipped (or confused!) stadium employee, while fans in the vicinity shout: "That's her! She's in there."
If Taylor did use the bizarre way of sneaking out, it would not be the first time. Like other big name artists, she has previously got to the stage at her concerts by hiding in equipment boxes.
So far, there is no confirmation either way but fans of the pop sensation appear convinced they have worked out her 'secret' trick to getting in and out of venues crawling with fans.
Minutes later, Taylor and Travis did appear together, heading out a back door of the stadium.
The pair are said to have enjoyed a private night out at the Prime Social Rooftop in Kansas City, according to Entertainment Tonight.
