As the Super Bowl madness ramps up, concerns have emerged among fans of pop sensation Taylor Swift regarding her ability to make it back in time from her overseas tour to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, at the big game.
However, the Japanese Embassy in Washington has come forward with a reassuring message, urging fans to “be fearless.”
Swift, amidst her highly anticipated Eras Tour, is set to perform at the Tokyo Dome from February 7 to 10, leaving her with a tight timeframe to make it to the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11.

Given the 12-hour flight duration and a 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas, fans have been anxious about whether Swift could manage to attend the game after her final show in Japan, especially considering the potential traffic around the stadium.
In response to these concerns, the Japanese Embassy issued a statement affirming that,
“Swift should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl kickoff if she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert.”
The statement cleverly incorporated references to Swift’s albums, reassuring fans that the talented performer could wow Japanese audiences and still support the Chiefs in Las Vegas.
