Taylor Swift's bodyguard Drew becomes viral sensation for protecting the star

Taylor Swift’s bodyguard, known simply as Drew, has recently garnered widespread attention after a viral video captured him accompanying the superstar to the restroom at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

The footage of Drew standing outside Swift’s restroom stall sparked online conversations about the costs of superstardom and the need for constant security. Many fans expressed sympathy for Drew, who, despite his formidable role, has become a fan favorite, with some praising his quiet yet vital role in ensuring Swift’s safety.

One fan tweeted, "How sad is that? We all love Drew, but the fact he has to stand outside her stall..." while others admired his devotion to his job, calling him "her shadow."

Though little is known about Drew, fans have come to admire his dedication to keeping Swift safe. It has been suggested in viral TikTok videos that Drew is not his real name and that he intentionally avoids social media, maintaining a low profile. Some speculate that Drew may have a military background, further enhancing his qualifications as one of the most trusted individuals in Swift's security team.

Drew’s role extends far beyond bathroom duty. Last fall, at Arrowhead Stadium, Drew was seen protecting Swift from photographers trying to take inappropriate photos. His vigilance in maintaining boundaries has earned him praise from Swift's fans, who consider him essential to the singer’s ability to enjoy a normal life while remaining safe in the public eye.
