- Whether the global superstar will produce the game has been the subject of intense speculation.
- Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce is expected to attend Sunday's game
Taylor Swift She may return to the United States on Saturday, raising hopes that the global superstar will attend Sunday's Super Bowl to watch her game.
on social media, Swift's fans and aviation journalists believe they've identified her private jet labeled “Football Era.” It arrived at Los Angeles' LAX Airport from Tokyo's Haneda Airport just after 3:30 p.m. local time.
Plans to travel to Las Vegas, where her boyfriend, NFL star tight end Travis Kelce, will play in Sunday's Super Bowl, have not yet been disclosed.
Swift's final song was still ringing in the ears of thousands of fans Saturday night at the Tokyo Dome as she rushed to Haneda Airport, presumably on a highly scrutinized journey to meet Kelce.
“We're all going to go on an amazing adventure,” Swift previously told the crowd. She was talking about music, but it could also represent a race against time, crossing nine time zones and the international date line.
At the end of the sold-out show, as she takes her final bow in a blue sequined outfit, the crowd screams, strobe lights flash, confetti flies, and Swift disappears beneath the stage, halfway around the world. The journey has begun.
Her anticipated trip to see Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas sparked imagination and speculation for weeks.
Her expectations for the big game impact entire economic sectors. Sales of the fashion brand Swift wore during football games are on the rise, promoting the NFL to Swift fans halfway around the world.
“I hope she comes back in time. It's very romantic,” said Takahashi, an office worker who bought matching Taylor Swift sweatshirts with a friend and posed for photos just outside Tokyo Dome. Hitomi (29) said.
About an hour after the concert, reporters from the Associated Press were near the private jet area at Haneda when a minivan pulled up and four or five people with large black umbrellas blocked their view, causing someone to crash into the gate area. I went inside.
To say the global attention on Swift's travels has been tough is an understatement.
Fans followed her jet. Her globe-trotting travels have been criticized for emitting carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming. Authorities are considering whether she can park her jet at the Las Vegas airport.
Even Japanese diplomats are involved in this practice. The Japanese embassy in Washington posted a statement on social media that included the titles of three of Swift's songs, “Speak Now,” “Fearless” and “Red,” suggesting she could be back in time for the Super Bowl.
But it seems Swift is trying to push back against the criticism. Business Insider reported that the number of starlets flying jets has been downsized from two to one.
She also threatened to sue the man behind the account that tracks her jets (the source of most of her criticism), saying the account jeopardizes her safety. A lawyer for Jack Sweeney, who manages the account, called Swift's claims “baseless.”
Swift is flying around the world this week
Before coming to Asia, she attended the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where she won her 14th Grammy Award for “Midnights” and her record fourth Album of the Year award. Approximately 17 million people watched the show. She also made a surprise announcement that her next album is ready to be released in April.
Then four concerts in Tokyo, and now it's time to return to America. She has followed Kelce for most of the Chiefs season.
Swift is scheduled to fly to Australia later this week to continue her tour.
“This week has been such a total mess,” she posted on Instagram on Wednesday.
A representative for Swift did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
