I’d say that it’s probably one of the easier places, actually, because post-9/11, there’s a lot of security at the Super Bowl, whether-or-not a President is there. Like, they already have overhead marksmen and airspace restrictions and stuff, which is the sort of stuff that you’d put on the President at an event.
I believe that the Super Bowl is considered to be a potential target because of its high visibility.
IIRC, even before that, Tom Clancy had one of his books involve terrorists blowing up the Super Bowl with a small nuclear weapon.
The terrorists’ plan is to detonate the weapon at the Super Bowl in Denver while simultaneously staging a false flag attack on U.S. military forces in stationed in Berlin by East Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers.
Ok so that’s 1 for assassinated pop stars… And a couple hundred assassinated world leaders. Or 4 presidents if you wanna limit yourself to just the US and it’s relatively short history.
Also, she’s a prominent woman and there are just a lot of creepy guys out there so she’d faced an immense amount of abuse from a distance and personal threats of a violent, sexual and violently sexual nature.
You really want to go down that road? Because I’m sure there’s a Wikipedia article that could show you a lot more attempted assassinations for pop stars than presidents /world leaders

Yeah, The Sum of All Fears.

And keep in mind if someone as prominent as Taylor Swift might be there Trump can sort of ride her coat tails security-wise.
Hang on do you actually think that Taylor Swifts security detail is better than the fuckin secret service??
After the recent “DEI replacement” cronyism maybe?Would almost bet on him firing anyone competent in favor of yes men.
Probably, not like some kid got a shot at Swift.
Yes… Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.
If you don’t think Taylor Swift is under absolutely constant threat of assault and kidnapping then I have an incel in Brooklyn to sell you.
Clout assassinations have been a thing for decades, John Lennon was murdered back in the 1980.

There’s a lot more than just one - here’s a specific example with excessive violence and a lot of collateral damage

And here’s Wikipedia’s list of notable musicians, do note that someone performing at your local club or restaurant wouldn’t make it onto this list
