There was practically no chance that Taylor Swift was going to miss the 2024 Super Bowl, right? Most would think so, given her very public relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, but the situation proved to be trickier than expected. While it’s true that society is still recovering from the aftershocks of the monumental Eras Tour — already the highest-grossing concert in history — Taylor is more often than not making headlines these days for reasons that have nothing to do with her music, or the fact that she just won a whole batch of Grammys again.
It seems like the culture as a whole is obsessed with Miss Americana frequenting her beau Kelce’s football games. The 2023 NFL season came with a twist no one saw coming, and we’ve practically heard it all over the past couple of months, whether it be Trump and his looney MAGA coterie losing their minds over Taylor’s influence or the distressing controversy of explicit AI-generated images distastefully depicting the songwriter in a number of compromising scenarios during Chiefs games.
Of course, none of those moments were going to be as crucial and career-defining as Sunday’s upcoming Super Bowl 2024, a game that fans have already been referring to as the “Taylor Swift Bowl” or “Swiftie Bowl.” But is the T-Swizzle even going to make it back to the States in time?
Did Taylor Swift attend the 2024 Super Bowl?
Thankfully for Swifties everywhere, yes, Taylor made it to the 2024 Super Bowl as expected. The media ruckus is to such an extent that some people have all but forgotten that the Super Bowl is supposed to be about the culmination of the 2023 NFL season. All eyes instead have been directed at Swift and the inevitable drama she’ll leave in her wake during the game.
There was previously doubt over whether or not Swift would make it to the game given that she was wrapping up a show for her Japanese fans in Tokyo, with her last performance falling on Saturday at 6pm (local time). This meant that after wrapping up, she had to immediately board her private jet and make the 12-hour flight to Las Vegas to be able to attend the Super Bowl.
Hilariously enough, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Japanese Embassy released a statement reassuring Swifties and explaining how she would make it back in time, mostly thanks to the 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas.
Naturally, it didn’t take Swifties long to make Taylor trend like crazy on X after she appeared at the game alongside the likes of Blake Lively and Ice Spice. As 2023 taught us, it’s Taylor’s world and we’re all lucky enough to be living in it.
