Fans are hoping the US superstar can get from Japan to Las Vegas to see her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers.
Will she make it in time?
Taylor Swift’s last song was still ringing in the ears of thousands of fans at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday night when the singer rushed to a private jet at Haneda airport, presumably embarking on an intensely scrutinised journey to see her boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, play in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
“We’re all gonna go on a great adventure,” Swift earlier told the crowd. She was speaking of the music, but it might also describe her prospective race against time, which was to cross nine time zones and the international dateline.
With a final bow at the end of her sold-out show, clad in a blue sequinned outfit, the crowd screaming, strobe lights pulsing, confetti falling, Swift disappeared beneath the stage – and her journey to the other side of the world began.
Her expected trip to see Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday, US time, has fired imaginations, and speculation, for weeks.
“I hope she can return in time. It’s so romantic,” said office worker Hitomi Takahashi, 29, who bought matching Taylor Swift sweatshirts with her friend and was taking photos just outside the Tokyo Dome.
It was not immediately clear late Saturday if Swift’s plane had left.
