Taylor Swift was shrouded by umbrellas Friday afternoon as she disembarked a private flight in Southern California, where her bestie Selena Gomez is tying the knot with Benny Blanco<\/a> this weekend.<\/p>\n

Photos and video published by TMZ show the \u201cLove Story\u201d crooner deplaning at Santa Barbara Airport under the cover of no les than four black umbrellas<\/a> as she made her way into a waiting vehicle. Just a portion of her left arm, dark dress and black bag were visible.<\/p>\n

Gomez, 33, and 37-year-old music producer Blanco \u2014 responsible for hits like Justin Bieber\u2019s \u201cLove Yourself,\u201d Kesha\u2019s \u201cTik Tok\u201d and Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cTeenage Dream\u201d<\/a> \u2014 have been together since 2023<\/a>.\u00a0They\u2019re set to wed on Sunday at a private estate in nearby Montecito<\/a>, with over 170 expected to attend.<\/p>\n

Unlike Swift, Gomez\u2019s \u201cOnly Murders in the Building\u201d co-stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Paul Rudd appeared unfazed by the cameras as they were\u00a0photographed<\/a> chatting on the patio of the luxe El Encanto Hotel<\/a> ahead of the rehearsal dinner.<\/p>\n

While Friday wasn\u2019t the first time Swift has attempted to hide while getting from one place to another \u2014 such as when she was seen apparently being transported in a janitor\u2019s cart<\/a> during the Eras Tour \u2014 the pop superstar and her fandom have been on especially high alert in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Swift attended her fianc\u00e9 Travis Kelce\u2019s football game, where she was reportedly seen surrounded by guards while shielded by a bullet-resistant screen<\/a>. Some fans speculated the heightened security was due to the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk<\/a>, who had spoken out against Swift\u2019s liberal beliefs<\/a> just two weeks before his death.<\/p>\n

Then on Monday, news broke that a process server was arrested on Sept. 15 after jumping over Kelce\u2019s fence<\/a> in an attempt to serve the songstress with deposition papers<\/a> from Justin Baldoni\u2019s attorneys.<\/p>\n

Swift\u2019s estranged best friend Blake Lively has accused Baldoni of sexual harassment<\/a> on the set of their 2024 film, \u201cIt Ends With Us,\u201d and a retaliatory smear campaign. The case is slated to go to trial in New York City in March.<\/p>\n

In a win for her safety, Swift on Monday was granted a five-year restraining order against alleged stalker Brian Jason Wagner<\/a>, who she claims has come to her home multiple times and insisted she\u2019s the mother of his son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift was shrouded by umbrellas Friday afternoon as she disembarked a private flight in Southern California, where…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88,2558,85625],"class_list":["post-186525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-latest-headlines","tag-snyde"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
