FACT CHECK: Video Shows A Motorcade For Donald Trump, Not Taylor Swift

Anna Mock | Fact Check Reporter

A video shared on X, formerly Twitter, allegedly shows a motorcade for musician Taylor Swift’s arrival to Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play the Miami Dolphins. 

Verdict: False

The post is miscaptioned. The video actually shows a motorcade for former President Donald Trump’s recent arrival in Iowa.

Fact Check: 

Swift recently traveled to Kansas City to see her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play against the Miami Dolphins, according to Daily Mail. Swift embraced the frigid 6 degree weather as she attended her 10th game of the Chiefs’ season, USA Today reported.

An X video claims to show a motorcade for Swift on her way to the Chiefs game. The footage appears to show a motorcade with several cop cars flashing their lights in the front amid a blizzard.

“Taylor Swift arriving to Arrowhead Stadium,” the caption reads. “To watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce tonight in Kansas City.”

The video is miscaptioned, however. It actually shows a motorcade for former President Donald Trump’s arrival in Des Moines, Iowa, according to his Deputy Director of Communications, Margo Martin. (RELATED: Viral X Image Of Trump And Epstein With Young Girl Is AI-Generated)

The video was also posted by The Post Millennial. “Donald Trump, the current GOP frontrunner in the presidential election, braces a massive blizzard as he arrives in Des Moines, Iowa,” the caption reads.

Trump recently urged Iowans to not be deterred by the forecast for the coldest Iowa caucus ever at -20 degrees during a rally in Indianola, according to Reuters.
