According to US media, pop superstar Taylor Swift has landed in Los Angeles and should make it to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl without any problems. As the Los Angeles Times reported on Saturday (local time), Swift arrived in the Californian metropolis after her concerts in Tokyo.
The Super Bowl begins at 3:30 p.m. local time on Sunday in Las Vegas, about a 70-minute flight away. Swift reportedly landed in Los Angeles about 24 hours earlier.
Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs have been dating for several months. The superstar therefore watched the team's NFL games in the stadium. Whether Swift would make it to the Super Bowl in time despite her hugely successful Eras tour was a big topic in the US. Fans followed Swift's return from Japan with flight trackers, media reported widely.
The New York Post wrote breathlessly that Swift had rushed to the plane in Tokyo while the final song of her concert was still ringing in the ears of her audience in the Tokyo Dome. According to the Associated Press, four or five people shielded the singer with umbrellas as she got into a minivan. A private jet with her on board then took off from Haneda Airport.
The flight to Los Angeles lasted twelve hours; the race against time was successful thanks to the favorable time zone relationship between Japan and the US West Coast. Now all she has to do is make the journey to Las Vegas.
According to CBS Sport, there is one final challenge: Parking spaces for private jets in Las Vegas are fully booked. Swift will have to drive, but even by car it takes less than five hours to get from LAX to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. So Swift will definitely make it to her private cabin in time.
