#Taylor Swift wraps up Tokyo ‘Eras Tour’ stop with more than 24 hours to spare before Super Bowl

Taylor Swift has officially finished her four-night run of “Eras Tour” shows in Tokyo. Could she be headed to the Super Bowl next?

Swift took her final bows the night of Feb. 10 in Tokyo. But in Las Vegas, the show’s conclusion equated to just after 4 a.m. Saturday.

To make it to the NFL championship game, the singer now faces a 12-hour flight to make it to Allegiant Stadium, leaving plenty time to spare before kickoff on Sunday, which is set for 3:30 p.m. PT.

It was not immediately clear on Feb. 10 whether Swift had boarded a plane and was heading to Las Vegas.

Swift has attended more than 10 Chiefs games this season, including the Chiefs’ AFC championship victory over the Baltimore Ravens. If she makes it to the Super Bowl, it’ll be her 13th appearance at a game — a number that Swifties know is significant to the singer.

While football and music fans alike are anticipating her attendance, her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, cast doubt earlier this week on if she’ll be there.

During a Feb. 7 press conference, Kelce spoke to reporters ahead of the Super Bowl matchup. In the course of his exchange with the press, the NFL star explained that Swift is a little too occupied with her current world tour to be showering him with motivational speeches.

“No, no, she hasn’t. She’s focused on entertaining the crowd (on her tour),” he said with a laugh in response to a question about whether she had given him a pep talk for the big game. Kelce then went on to point out that Swift was busy abroad.

“She’s just working on entertaining them, making sure she’s ready for her performances and everything,” he continued. “But the Super Bowl, we’ll worry about if she can make it.”

On Feb. 2, the Embassy of Japan spoke out to confirm that yes, it is possible for the singer to make it to the Super Bowl.

“If she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins,” the embassy said in a statement filled with puns from Swift’s discography shared to Instagram Feb. 2.

“We wanted to confirm that anyone concerned can be Fearless in knowing that this talented performer can wow Japanese audiences and still make it to Las Vegas to support the Chiefs when they take the field for the Super Bowl wearing Red,” the statement concluded.

Swift has previously said that she attends Chiefs games solely to support her boyfriend.

“I’m just there to support Travis,” she told Time in an interview for her 2023 Person of the Year honor. “I have no awareness of if I’m being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads.”

The question of if Swift could even attend the 2024 Super Bowl was sparked on Sept. 24, after the singer debuted her relationship with Kelce by attending her first Kansas City Chiefs game. During that game against the Chicago Bears, the pop star sat next to Kelce’s mom, Donna, in an Arrowhead Stadium suite in her signature red lip and a matching red and white jacket. She and Kelce were then spotted together leaving after the game and driving off to an afterparty in a convertible.

From there, Swift was spotted at the Chiefs-Jets game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Oct. 1. Friends Sabrina Carpenter, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman and more joined the singer in the suite.

In between breaks in her “Eras Tour,” Swift became a fixture at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, attending several consecutive games, including the Chiefs-Broncos and Chiefs-Chargers home games in October.

She’s also traveled to games in Green Bay, Wisconsin; Foxborough, Massachusetts; and Buffalo, New York.

Along the way, she’s watched games alongside Brittany Mahomes, quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ wife, as well as Kelce’s family, including brother Jason Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce.

Who is going to the Super Bowl?

On Sunday, Jan. 28, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Ravens 17-10 in the AFC championship and claimed their spot in Super Bowl 58. They will face the San Francisco 49ers, who defeated the Detroit Lions 34-31 in the NFC championship.
