Report: Taylor Swift attending Super Bowl LVIII despite brutal travel schedule
Taylor Swift, the most recognizable significant other in the NFL, will be attending next month’s Super Bowl to support her man, Travis Kelce. She’ll be leaving the stage in Tokyo the night before to make it to Las Vegas in time.
This is according to Page Six with the New York Post, which reported the news late Monday. An unidentified source told the outlet “It’s a brutal flight, but she’ll get on her plane right after the concert.”
Kelce’s Chiefs earned the AFC title Sunday, beating the top-seeded Ravens in Baltimore for a trip to the Super Bowl. And Swift was there in a private suite, cheering on her boyfriend of five months. Kelce caught 11 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown to help the Chiefs knock off Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, 17-10.
And after the game, NFL fans were treated to this sweet scene. Swift was there on the field at M&T Bank Stadium to give her beau a kiss as he took a small break from celebrating with his teammates. The Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champs. Their game on Feb. 11 against the 49ers will be their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years. But celebrating a spot in the biggest game of the year never gets stale. Jason Kelce, Travis’ big bro, also was on the field to give the Chiefs superstar a bear hug.
Swift has help from 17-hour time difference to make it to Super Bowl to see Kelce
Swift, the world’s most famous pop star, and Kelce, the NFL’s top tight end, began dating at the start of the season. She attended her first game, Sept. 24. And since she showed up at Arrowhead Stadium that early autumn day, Swift has been to a dozen games. The couple never has tried to hide the relationship, especially after Kelce jetted to South America to catch part of the international leg of Swift’s Eras tour.
Back in December, Swift told reporters: “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care. The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”
Seeing Kelce and Swift embrace on the field in Baltimore even prompted some Super Bowl bets, albeit exclusive to a certain Canadian market. But if you’re in Ontario, you can wager on whether Kelce will propose to Swift at Allegiant Stadium.
So it makes sense that Swift will go all out to make her way to the Super Bowl. If you’re just into football and not celebrity relationships, check out Kelce versus George Kittle of the 49ers. Those two are the best tight ends of the game.
Swift will perform four concerts at the Tokyo Dome — Feb. 7-10. Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas, so Swift can get to Allegiant Stadium in time for the Super Bowl.
