As the world’s biggest superstar, Taylor Swift can be forgiven for occasionally wanting to escape the attention of legions of loyal fans desperate to see her.
Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal how he escapes those prying eyes – by climbing into a huge packing box.
Whenever the Shake It Off singer wants to sneak into hotels or clubs incognito, she does so hidden in one of the large black cases that roadies usually use to transport bulky audio equipment.
And it works: where he stayed during the British leg of his Eras tour has remained a mystery throughout, with only unsubstantiated rumors surrounding his residences.
A source close to the tour said: “It’s unheard of for a musician to hide where he’s staying during such a high-profile tour.”
Shake them off: Taylor Swift escapes the attention of legions of loyal fans desperate to see her by hiding in a packing box when she enters hotels or venues
Look What You Made Me Do: Previously, Taylor was taken to the arena and backstage area in an oversized cleaning cart during a tour in Texas.
The pop icon was seen quickly exiting the back of the cart during the concert.
‘But Taylor likes to keep her movements secret and keep that part of her life away from the world.
“And she’s found the perfect way: hiding in a suitcase. They see her when she wants to be seen and that’s it.”
Fans previously saw her using a similar technique on tour in Texas, when she was wheeled into the arena and backstage area on an oversized cleaning cart.
Despite her secrecy, it can be revealed that Ms Swift has made three trips to the picturesque Cornish town of St Ives since 2022.
Although he used his private jet to get there, he managed to avoid detection at all times.
He dons a variety of costumes including wigs, hats, large glasses, and other unusual clothing in an extraordinary (and successful) attempt to evade attention.
A friend said: ‘Taylor has been to Cornwall several times but has never been seen there. It’s probably the last place you’d expect to see it; Maybe that’s why she goes.
“It’s absolutely amazing how she’s hardly ever seen anywhere. She’s very clever when it comes to staying under the radar.”
While flying to Cornwall in his £20m Dassault Falcon 7X plane, he opted for less flashy transport in London, driving a nondescript old Nissan Qashqai.
She used the car while living in a £7million mansion in Hampstead, north London, when she was dating British actor Joe Alwyn.
Taylor has stage presence during her shows, but outside of work she dons a variety of costumes including wigs, hats, large glasses, and other unusual clothing in an extraordinary (and successful) attempt to evade attention.
A source close to Swift, who is now dating American footballer Travis Kelce, said: “She had a very normal car. Although she could drive a limo everywhere, she knew a small Nissan wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention.”
“It’s one of the reasons she was rarely seen while she lived here.”
However, there is one group of people Swift is always willing to meet: music critics.
A source said: “She likes to meet with the critics and writers who most commonly report on her career, and she is always very well informed about who they are, who they work for, what they have written about her, even very specific details about their careers. “.
In this he is helped by his publicist, Tree Paine, described by industry sources as “terrifying” and “unwaveringly loyal”.
One profile said she was “a modest but constant presence” in the star’s life.
He previously worked for the likes of Snoop Dogg and Marilyn Manson before meeting Swift, now his only client.
