Taylor Swift\u00a0and boyfriend,\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0star\u00a0Travis Kelce, are\u00a0reportedly taking a break\u00a0from the public as they spend their downtime together. So, it definitely came as a surprise when fans saw the pop star in a Sporting KC game … or so they thought.<\/p>\n

To clarify, Swift didn’t attend Sporting KC’s game against St. Louis last Saturday. However, an impostor did.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0reported earlier, the Swift impersonator\u2014whose real name is Kelley Thrasher\u2014caused a stir both at the game in Kansas City and online, as people thought she was the real deal.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the security at Children’s Mercy Park even had to step in. This was revealed by\u00a0Thrasher’s friend, who\u00a0detailed what happened in the arena.<\/p>\n

“Still laughing at the chaos last night brought,” Thrasher’s friend wrote on Instagram, along with a video montage of clips taken from the game. It even showed the Swift impersonator waving at kids, who jumped up and down in excitement after the gesture.<\/p>\n

“We were just there to celebrate our girl @amberleigh.masters birthday\u2026 but bring Taylor Swift\u2019s lookalike to an SKC game and suddenly you need security escorts and end up in the stadium\u2019s secret speakeasy with the players after the game.”<\/p>\n
