The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious in their playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens, securing their spot in Super Bowl LVIII. This marks their second consecutive appearance in the championship game. Notably, Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is expected to be in attendance at the big game.
Despite having a scheduled concert in Japan the day before the Super Bowl, Swift is anticipated to make it to Las Vegas to celebrate Kelce’s accomplishment. Fans speculate that Swift can take advantage of the international date line, crossing it when traveling back from Tokyo, which is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas. This would allow her to save time and arrive just in time to party.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport explained this time-saving strategy, highlighting that Swift could attend her concert in Tokyo, which ends around 6 p.m. local time, and then take a 12-hour flight to Las Vegas. With this plan, she could potentially reach Las Vegas by 7 or 8 p.m. Saturday night.
Interestingly, right after the Chiefs’ victory, American Airlines released new direct flight tickets from Kansas City to Las Vegas on flight 1989, a clever reference to one of Swift’s iconic albums. The airline also offers return flights on flight AA 87, which corresponds to Kelce’s jersey number.
As for Super Bowl LVIII, the match to determine the Chiefs’ opponent will be between the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers. This edition of the Super Bowl will be hosted in Las Vegas for the first time, and it is expected to generate record levels of sports betting. The halftime show will feature Usher. If the Chiefs and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes secure another championship, they will be the first back-to-back Super Bowl winners since the 2003-04 New England Patriots.
