Forget the matchups in Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers — the real question everybody wants answered is whether Taylor Swift will be at the big game in Las Vegas.
There is some drama here, as Swift’s “New Eras” tour closes its Japanese run at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday, February 10. The show starts at 6:00 p.m. Tokyo time, and if Swift’s show ends at 10:00 or 11:00 Tokyo time, it’ll be a tight fit to get her to the game on time to see her guy Travis Kelce.
Of course, Swift can avail herself of any transportation scenario, and she’ll be 14 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (Las Vegas is in the Pacific Time Zone), so that’s a break. The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. EST on Sunday.
Recently, the Twitter feed for the Embassy of Japan offered some comfort for those who won’t see the Super Bowl the same without Swift’s presence.

So, we’ve moved from probable to likely, which is nice.
