As the world’s biggest superstar, Taylor Swift can be forgiven for occasionally wanting to escape the attention of the legions of loyal fans desperate to catch a glimpse of her

Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal how she escapes those prying eyes – she climbs into a massive packing case.

Whenever the Shake It Off singer wants to sneak into hotels or venues incognito, she does so hidden in one of the large black cases roadies usually use for transporting bulky audio equipment

And it works: where she has been staying during the UK leg of her Eras tour has remained a mystery throughout, with only unsubstantiated rumours of her residences.

One tour insider said: ‘It is unheard of for a musician to hide where they are staying during such a high-profile tour.

‘But Taylor likes to keep her movements a secret and keep that part of her life away from the world.

‘And she has found the perfect way – she hides in a case. She is seen when she wants to be seen and that’s about it.’

Fans previously spotted her using a similar technique on tour in Texas, when she was wheeled into the arena and into the backstage area in an oversized cleaners’ 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 she used her private jet to get there, she managed to avoid detection every time.
