Will Taylor make Super Bowl if her lover does?
It’s still unclear whether Travis Kelce will make it to the Super Bowl with his Kansas City Chiefs, but fans are already wondering whether Taylor Swift would brave jet lag to support her lover in the stands between her own international concerts.
The “Anti-Hero” singer, 34, will be on the Asian leg of her Eras Tour in Tokyo on Feb. 10, the day before Super Bowl LVIII kicks off in Las Vegas.
Thanks to the difference in time zones, though, the Japanese capital is 17 hours ahead of Sin City. It’s not outside the realm of possibility that the Grammy winner would sideline convenience and sleep to make sure the two-time Super Bowl winner, also 34, sees Swift cheering in the stands, decked out in full Chiefs regalia.
After all, she would have the better part of a week to recover before her next tour date. She’s set to hit the stage again on Feb. 16 in Melbourne, Australia — which is 19 hours ahead of Vegas.
Swift said in her Time magazine Person of the Year interview, published last month, that her physical and mental well-being comes second to showing up for her devoted fanbase, many who have shelled out thousands of dollars to see her musical retrospective.
“I know I’m going on that stage whether I’m sick, injured, heartbroken, uncomfortable or stressed,” she told Time. “That’s part of my identity as a human being now. If someone buys a ticket to my show, I’m going to play it unless we have some sort of force majeure.”
Such an event took place in November, when a record-breaking heat wave in Rio de Janeiro left one Swift fan dead.
The superstar, “shattered” by the young woman’s death, postponed a subsequent performance until it was cool enough for her team and concertgoers to enjoy the event safely.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs — who won the Super Bowl last year and in 2020 — were among six teams to advance to this weekend’s divisional round.
