A recent video of Taylor Swift’s bodyguard following her into a public restroom has sparked a heated debate about the extreme measures required to protect high-profile celebrities.
As one of the most recognizable figures in the world, the 34-year-old singer is rarely seen in public without her trusted security team. However, footage from Super Bowl LVIII at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans has left fans stunned, showing Swift exiting a restroom with her longtime bodyguard, Drew, closely behind her.

Fans express shock over Swift’s lack of privacy
The viral video, originally shared on X, has drawn widespread reactions, with many expressing concern over Swift’s inability to perform even the most basic daily tasks without protection.
“How sad is that? We all love Drew, but the fact that he has to stand outside her stall…,” one user commented. Another added, “It makes me so sad that she can’t even go to the bathroom alone.”
Some users defended the security measure, noting that the intense scrutiny Swift faces makes such precautions necessary. “Someone could easily try to take a picture over the stall and sell it. She absolutely needs that protection,” one person argued.
Others questioned the price of fame, with comments such as, “I don’t understand why anyone would want to be famous. This looks exhausting,” and “Poor Taylor. She’s living in a fishbowl for the rest of her life.”
Swift’s bodyguard remains a fan favorite
Despite the controversy, many fans praised Swift’s bodyguard for his unwavering commitment to her safety. Drew, who has been by Swift’s side for years, is often seen shadowing her at public events, ensuring her security at all times.
“He’s never more than 10 feet from her on stage, and his eyes scan the crowd like an eagle,” one user wrote. Another added, “Drew may look nice, but his job is to make sure nobody hurts her, and that’s terrifying.”
While some see the situation as proof of the intense security risks that come with fame, others argue it is simply a necessity for someone as globally recognized as Taylor Swift.
