Even for a superstar with the financial power and popularity of Taylor Swift, the logistics of traveling from one side of the world to the other for the Super Bowl might be too difficult to pull off. Swift is expected to make the long journey from the Far East back to the United States for the February 11 game, but she will face a race against time to watch her beau Travis Kelce in action.
The Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers at the 60,000-seat Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and, as the VIP of match-going NFL fans, Swift won’t have any issues in procuring a ticket in the suite.
Travis Kelce is really living the dream right now with Taylor Swift and here’s proof
But the complication of her Eras Tour, which has resumed in Japan after a four-month hiatus, could wreck her plans as the last of her four scheduled Tokyo shows takes place on February 10. Due to the different time zones, if she were to fly out at midnight in Tokyo, it would be 07:00 in Las Vegas.
The flight time is estimated to be approximately 11 hours non-stop, which means she could arrive on Saturday evening in Sin City at around 19:00 or 20:00 (PT). That would give her ample time to rest up and prepare for the action on Sunday after an exhausting run of performing for four days in a row. However, there is another roadblock in her way.
Las Vegas fully booked
The issue that remains is that if Swift does not already have a reserved spot in Las Vegas for her private jet, she will struggle to find an airport that can accommodate her. According to Federal Aviation Administration officials, all spaces are “full”.
Air traffic is expected to be particularly heavy at Harry Reid International, one of the busiest passenger airports in the U.S. General airports in suburban North Las Vegas and Henderson, including Boulder City Municipal Airport, which is approximately 24 miles east of Las Vegas, are also booked.
What’s more, the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League is staging a tournament at the nearby Las Vegas Country Club in the days leading up to the Super Bowl, meaning it will be tougher than ever to find space for the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer’s jet.
That is unlikely to deter Swift, though, who is keen on making the journey to support Kelce despite crossing nine time zones to get there after supporting her boyfriend in every playoff game so far.
