What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAfter performing at the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday night, Taylor Swift reportedly flew to Kansas City, and a video from Sunday's Chiefs game shows her telling a fan to stop filming.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLola's at Arrowhead.

  3. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI'm standing outside Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs beat the Chargers twenty-two to six on Sunday, and the spot behind me is outside the suite where Swift watched her husband play.

  4. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentHer security told a woman to leave, and she pointed her phone at Swift anyway.

  5. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentThen Swift gestured for her to stop recording and watch the game, and the woman hurried back to her seat.

  6. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentI've seen negotiations take longer, Hank, and they had translators.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWho were the two men?

  8. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentTwo men, unconfirmed. I've interviewed sources with firmer identities, and they were wearing masks. Fortunately, I have a witness.

  9. Marnie TeagueI was three rows down. I saw the wave, and it was very firm.

  10. Marnie TeagueThose two men just stood there looking at the field like they'd been told to.

  11. Lola Cruz · Senior Field CorrespondentMany commenters sided with Swift, and one said they were glad she told the fan to knock it off and watch the game.

  12. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo Swift's security was two men we can't confirm and one wave we can.
