Sunday’s playoff game marks the 12th Chiefs game that Swift has attended to support Kelce since she first showed up at Arrowhead Stadium in September.
While it’s a sure thing that the Chiefs are heading to Las Vegas on February 11 to play in the NFL’s biggest game of the year, Swift has not publicly said if she will be attending.
She is scheduled to perform four “Eras Tour” concerts in Tokyo starting on February 7. Her final show on that leg is set to take place on February 10 with a 6 p.m. local time start, according to ticketing sites. Swift’s shows run about three hours, there’s a 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas and it’s roughly a 12-hour flight between to the two locations.
The point of this headache-inducing SAT math problem? It wouldn’t be out of your wildest dreams to see Swift on the Super Bowl sidelines.
How Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna, feels about Taylor Swift amid budding new romance: report
Travis Kelce’s mother, Donna, has reportedly given Taylor Swift her stamp of approval.
“Donna likes Taylor and thinks she’s very sweet and down to earth,” a source told People in a story published Monday.
The NFL star’s mother was first spotted with the “Cruel Summer” singer on Sept. 24 as the two cheered on Kelce from a VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
The two were enthusiastic throughout the Chiefs’ winning game against the Chicago Bears, and at one point Swift could be seen yelling “Let’s f—king go!”
It’s unclear just how much time Donna has been able to spend with her son’s rumored fling since they began dating, but the two were spotted together again this past Sunday.
Donna and Swift shared a hug and some smiles at the MetLife Stadium before Swift went on to watch the game alongside pals Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as well as newly single friends Sophie Turner and Hugh Jackman.

At one point during the game, Donna and the “Blank Space” songstress reunited inside the VIP box to share some laughs and cheers.
Following the match, Travis, 33, and Swift, also 33, departed from the stadium separately.
While the two didn’t opt to share a getaway car this time around, an insider explained to Page Six that it’s protocol for the Chiefs to leave the city after an away game.
A source told People that Donna thinks Taylor Swift is “very sweet.”
“After the game, [the Chiefs] will go right home with the team on the plane,” our source shared.
“Unless Travis can skip that, but likely his team is strict and will make him fly back with them.”
Despite not being able to celebrate the victory together, Travis made sure to fit in some quality time with Swift at her Tribeca apartment before the game.

The athlete was spotted leaving Swift’s lavish loft around 11 a.m. on Sunday before traveling back to the Chiefs’ hotel in Weehawken, N.J.
On Wednesday, Travis shared how thrilled he was to have Taylor in the stands during his and brother Jason’s “New Heights” podcast.
“I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but good things to say about her,” Travis gushed, adding that she “looked amazing and everybody was talking about her in great light.”

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and the Grammy-winning artist are currently dominating headlines over their budding relationship.
Rumors began circulating about the two in July after Travis unsuccessfully tried to pass his number along to Swift during one of her concerts on the Eras Tour.
Just two months later, a source dished that the stars were “quietly hanging out.“
Can Taylor Swift get to the Super Bowl for Travis Kelce? A timeline from the Grammys and beyond
– When the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday to advance to the Super Bowl, the question on fans’ minds quickly became: Will Taylor Swift be able to attend to support her partner, the Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, if she has a concert in Tokyo the day before?
It seems everyone is banking on Swift making it across the Pacific after her concert on Feb. 10 to cheer Kelce on in Las Vegas on Feb. 11: Even American Airlines and United Airlines took notice.
But can she do it? And what does her jet-set lifestyle look like for the next two weeks?
Taylor Swift will likely head to Sunday´s Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where she is up for six trophies. Those include: three for “Anti-Hero” (record of the year, song of the year, and best pop solo performance), two for her album “Midnights” (album of the year and best pop vocal album), and one for her collaboration with the rapper Ice Spice on “Karma” (best pop duo/group performance), making her one of the most nominated artists of the evening. If Swift wins album of the year, she will break the record for most wins in the top category, with four.
Swift´s record-breaking Eras Tour – the first to gross over $1 billion — kicks off again in 2024 in Tokyo, where she will perform for four nights. The travel time is an estimated 12 hours, over 5,400 miles (8,690 kilometers), flying across nine time zones and crossing the international date line. Swift flies private, so passing through customs and security will likely be much faster than commercial travel.
Flying from California to Japan´s capital city, Swift will lose 17 hours. That means if she were to leave Los Angeles on the morning of Monday, Feb. 5 – say, around 9 a.m. – it would be around 2 a.m. in Tokyo on Feb. 6. She should likely arrive around 2 p.m. in Tokyo.

Swift performs at the 55,000-capacity Tokyo Dome. There are no announced openers, and the show is scheduled to start at 6 p.m., typically running for three hours and 15 minutes – which means it could end around 9:15 p.m. A Tokyo Dome spokesman told the AP all parties must stop using the sound system at 9:30 p.m. That doesn’t mean everyone must leave by 9:30 p.m., but the concert must be over.
Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas. If Swift leaves Tokyo at midnight after her last Tokyo concert, that´s 7 a.m. on Saturday in Las Vegas. An average flight from Tokyo to LA is about 10 hours. If she can fly directly to Las Vegas without refueling, that´s 11 or 12 hours. (There are no direct commercial flights from Tokyo to Las Vegas, so this an exercise in private aviation.) Barring delays, she would be on track to get to Las Vegas the night before the game.
The San Francisco 49ers face off against the Kansas City Chiefs at 3:30 p.m. in Las Vegas. Airlines, by the way, have taken notice and changed flight numbers to reflect Kelce and Swift´s relationship. Both Kelce and Swift were born in 1989 – also the name of one of her albums. American´s Flight 1989 is scheduled to run twice from Kansas City, Missouri, to Las Vegas on Feb. 9 and Feb. 10.
On Friday, Feb. 16, Swift kicks off her Australian tour in Melbourne with three back-to-back dates at the Melbourne Cricket Grounds, with Sabrina Carpenter as her opening act. If she chooses to fly straight to Australia after the Super Bowl for rehearsals from Vegas, that´s at least a 17-hour journey – or 16 hours if flying direct from Los Angeles – and more than 8,100 miles (13,000 kilometers) of air travel.
With all this in mind, Swift will have traveled more than 19,400 miles (30,500 kilometers) in just under two weeks, not including transportation to and from venues, hotels, the airport and any travel that occurs between the Super Bowl and her Melbourne tour dates. For reference, the circumference of Earth is 24,900 miles (40,000 kilometers).
