An eyewitness claimed Taylor Swift’s bodyguard asked a woman to leave the area prior to an alleged confrontation with the Grammy winner during Sunday’s Kansas City Chiefs game.

During the encounter, Swift was seen gesturing — from her VIP suite — to a fan directly below her to stop recording her and watch the action on the field, as her husband Travis Kelce and his team took on the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.

A member of her security team subsequently appeared to ask the fan to put away her phone.

Podcast host Ashlie Molstad claimed to the Daily Mail on Tuesday that she and a friend saw the whole thing happen — and offered her perspective, saying she “assumed” the woman involved was “in a nearby section” before “all of a sudden, she was right in our space.”

“We were in the fifth seat in, so she had crossed over four people,” Molstad alleged. “Next thing I knew, she was right next to me shouting Taylor’s name.”

Molstad admitted she couldn’t see Swift from where she was positioned, but did see her security “immediately” step in to tell the woman, “These are not your seats. You need to leave.”

According to Molstad, the woman replied that she’d come “a long way” from Germany and was dressed in Oktoberfest garb, after which the security guard “repeated that they weren’t her seats and that she had to go,” Molstad claimed.

The woman then “held up her phone to sneak a quick picture, and he put his hand up to block the camera,” Molstad continued, noting that she “didn’t hear Taylor say anything” but that in footage from the incident, “you can see her say something like, ‘I’m watching the game.”‘

Molstad said, “The frustrating part was her assuming she had the right to rush into our row and get right in Taylor’s face, which was distracting while we were trying to watch the game.”

The podcaster claimed that from her perspective — and any footage Swift showed up in from her own photos and videos at the game — Swift “didn’t seem on edge” and was instead “focused on the game.”

Molstad said Swift “handles” the public reaction to her outings “really well,” and gushed over her security guard’s response to the incident.

“He didn’t make a big scene,” Molstad said, claiming “he just put his hand up and said, ‘I don’t care. These are not your seats.'” Molstad said as a result, there “really wasn’t a massive confrontation.”

She also asserted that the “Cruel Summer” songstress “is justified to handle it however she needs to — none of us know what that level of attention is like.”

She added, “It was distracting just sitting in that section seeing how many people were yelling, holding up signs, or stopping in aisles instead of watching the game.”

Molstad also claimed she even saw someone “pressed against the suite window flipping [Swift] off,” and that she and her pal “alerted the police officers stationed outside her suite, and they removed him.”

“What that guy didn’t realize was that the glass is blacked out with a board on the inside, so she couldn’t even see him,” Molstad said. She also noted that she and her pal are “huge Swifties” and “made a point” not to add to the chaos by attempting to “bother” the singer after the game.

It was evidently an eventful week for the “Opalite” hitmaker.

The Chiefs took the victory against the Chargers, with a final score of 22 to 6. Swift enjoyed the win alongside Caitlin Clark and Este Haim, who joined her in the suite.

The incident occurred just a day after Swift attended the Academy Museum’s annual star-studded gala, where she performed her original song for “Toy Story 5,” “I Knew It, I Knew You” — for which she is said to be hoping to nab an Oscar nomination.
