Segue causes UITabBarController to shift status bar up in Swift?

I'm having a weird issue in regards to how I'm restricting screen orientation.

Here's what my storyboard looks like:

I have screen orientation set to Portrait only.

In my AppDelegate, I have the following:

func application(application: UIApplication, supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow window: UIWindow?) -> UIInterfaceOrientationMask
{
    if self.window?.rootViewController?.presentedViewController is VideoPlayerViewController
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Landscape;
    }
    else
    {
        return UIInterfaceOrientationMask.Portrait;
    }
}

In the Home Tab, clicking either the Red play button or any of the cells will perform a segue to my VideoPlayerViewController. I have restricted the VideoPlayerViewController to landscape only.

However, right before the segue occurs, this occurs:

Basically, what is happening is that in the 2nd picture, the red portion shifts up, pushing the status bar out of the way.

Then in the 3rd picture, the first 2 tabs are shifted slightly to the left while the last 2 tabs are shifted slightly to the right.

Once again, all of this occurs right before a Modal segue occurs.

What could be causing this? Let me know if I need to include additional code..
