Before arriving at the event, Paris, 43, was spotted partying with her husband, Carter Reum, and friends on a VIP platform next to the stage during Anderson Paak's set at the bash.
She was seen dancing up a storm with her aunt, Real Housewives star Kyle Richards, and Lauren Sanchez, who was joined by her husband-to-be, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
While the other celebrities left the platform before 2 am, Paris and her friends were still partying when security began ushering everyone off the VIP area at 2.26 am.
Around three minutes later, Travis and a security team walked toward the table furthest away from the stage, later joined by Taylor.
The U.S. Sun understands Paris was not removed in favor of the pop star as she had a table on the platform, along with Jeff Bezos.
Paris later rejoined the area and hung out with her old friend and NFL star boyfriend as they partied together.
An eyewitness said, "All of a sudden about 20 people were ushered to the end of the platform, and seemed to be moved to make way for a big arrival.
"They were all seen clambering down the stairs and into a dark VIP bar area as more than five security guards started getting themselves into position."

The insider continued: "It was clear an A-list celebrity was coming in, but barely anyone realized at first as Travis walked onto the platform alone and sat down before being shielded by security.
LOVED-UP
"Taylor then joined him with Ice Spice and some members of their team, but it took a while for anyone in the crowd to clock on she was in the VIP section.";
Paris then rejoined the platform and was seen catching up with Taylor and Travis in a small group.
The eyewitness said the couple were "drinking, laughing and kissing" as Travis enjoyed Vanderpump Rules star James Kennedy's DJ set and repeatedly bobbed his head to the music.
As word traveled across the crowds that Taylor was in the vicinity - James played a remix of the star's hit Cruel Summer as fans jumped up and down and tried to snap a photo of the pair.

Taylor reacted with joy as she heard her song being remixed and was seen chatting and whispering to the gang while sipping a drink at the bash - the biggest Coachella VIP party.
The pop star had the perfect festival attire, opting for a black T-shirt, a patent leather jacket, and a pleated skort with a buckle garter by the athleisure wear brand, Halara.
She chose a pair of Gucci sneakers and a crossbody leather bag by Stella McCartney, giving Travis a sweet nod with a baseball cap with the logo for New Heights, the NFL star's podcast.

A-LIST CROWD
Taylor, 34, and her beau were pictured earlier in the day watching Jack Antonoff's Bleachers set side of the stage before mingling with festival-goers.
