The only thing more exciting than the Super Bowl? Flying around the world to watch it up close.
It’s been an NFL season like no other with Taylor Swift in the stands. The 14-time Grammy winner and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce lit up the world with the news of their relationship, and five months later, she will be traveling across the globe to see him try to bring home the gold. Hard to have imagined that during the last Super Bowl.
Now, Swift is one of the biggest stories in the NFL — so much so that the news of her concert possibly conflicting with the Super Bowl was the worst thing you ever heard.
Fear not, though. The singer is a mastermind, and she likely has plans in place to make it to Las Vegas for Kelce.
The Sporting News will provide updates of Taylor Swift’s journey from Tokyo to Las Vegas as they become available.
Flight time from Tokyo to Las Vegas is around 12 hours and should take no longer than that with a private plane. Swift is performing an Eras Tour show in Tokyo the day before the Super Bowl, but with help from time change, she should have ample time to fly to Nevada after the end of her concert.
Indeed, the U.S. Embassy of Japan has confirmed she could make it in time.
The Super Bowl is an all-day event. Fans begin celebrating early in the morning, hours before teams even arrive at the stadium.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday, though it’s always a few minutes later in reality.
Depending on how the game goes, the halftime show will begin around 8 p.m., and the game will conclude around 10:30 p.m. ET.
Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas, which is in the Pacific Time Zone.
Swift will take the stage at 6 p.m. Saturday in Japan to put on a three-hour show. By the time she gets off the stage and ready to jet set back to the US on Saturday, it will be no later than 10 p.m. in Tokyo.
In Las Vegas, that translates to 5 a.m. Saturday, which would give the singer plenty of time to make the return flight to the U.S.
Swift will visit three countries during her international tour before taking a break during most of March and April. When she takes the stage again in May, it’ll be to kick off the European leg.
