Taylor Swift arrived to the Super Bowl in time to celebrate with a game-winning k*ss on the field and cheer on Travis Kelce to victory. After a much-anticipated race around the globe—and against the clock—following her concert in Tokyo on Saturday night, the pop sensation finally made it to Las Vegas on Sunday.
In a thrilling match that went into overtime, Swift saw the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 to become Super Bowl winners for the second year in a row.
She was in a box with Blake Lively, Ice Spice, and members of Kelce’s family, including his mom, Donna, and brother Jason, while the game was going on.
In the aftermath of Kelce’s trademark celebration, “You’ve gotta fight! And he was absolutely correct! He tracked down Swift on the pitch, where they shared an embrace that felt like it lasted forever.
Swift said, “Unbelievable!” as they separated from one another. At the Tokyo Dome, the 14-time Grammy winner recently began her international “Eras Tour” with four consecutive nights of performances, marking the tour’s first stop of the year in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Thanks to the 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas, Swift had over 35 hours to travel the 5,500 miles to witness her lover play in Sunday evening’s 58th Super Bowl against the 49ers.
The tight travel arrangements were the subject of much talk, but many fans weren’t anxious about her chances of making it. On Saturday, the pop star’s concert ended at around 9 p.m. local time.
The Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., even released a social media post earlier this month expressing their confidence in her ability to “comfortably arrive” at her destination thereafter.

“We wanted to confirm that anyone concerned can be Fearless in knowing that this talented performer can still make it to Las Vegas to support the Chiefs when they take the pitch for the Super Bowl wearing Red,” the embassy wrote, referring to Swift’s albums.
Because “we know that many people in Japan are excited to experience Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour,” the statement read.
Swift, who has been under fire for her disproportionately high carbon emissions from her many flights both domestic and abroad, was observed by internet detectives on Saturday afternoon descending into Los Angeles International Airport in what appeared to be a private or rented jet. A trip to Sin City followed, where she had wonderful fortune at her thirteenth (her lucky number) Chiefs game of the season.
