Andy Reid explains why Taylor Swift is not attending the super Bowl, even if Travis Kelce Plays
It’s possible that Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, won’t be present to support him from the sidelines should his team advance to the Super Bowl once more this season. A lot needs to go right for the Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming weeks if they hope to make it to the championship game on February 11 of Super Bowl LVIII, which is still one month away.
However, the team’s victories that have propelled them into the NFL playoffs this season, along with their Super Bowl victories in 2019 and 2022, suggest they have a good chance. It’s unclear if Swift will be in the nation when the top two teams meet, whether the Chiefs advance that far or not. Her Eras Tour’s next overseas leg begins on February 7 in Japan with four consecutive performances at the Tokyo Dome.
The night before the Super Bowl is the final concert in that series of concerts in Tokyo. Swift might board a plane and fly straight to Allegiant Stadium, home of Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, after wrapping up her performance on February 10. Since Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas and the game doesn’t start until 6:30 p.m. ET, it would require a flight that would last at least 13 hours.
This is a strenuous but not impossible prospect. Since her relationship with the team’s tight end became known in the months prior, Swift has been spotted at a number of Chiefs games. Swift’s game-day presence has drawn attention from some football fans, who have criticized her for it. This is especially evident to TV viewers when Swift is seen encouraging Kelce from the stands. During his opening monologue at the Golden Globes earlier this week, Golden Globes host Jo Koy made a joke about the NFL’s cutaways.
He later took back the comment after receiving criticism from Swift’s supporters. The Chiefs seem to have welcomed Swift’s attendance at their games and her relationship with Kelce, despite the criticism from some in the NFL community. This is evident in a postseason teaser video that features numerous references to Swift’s songs.
