Pop icon Taylor Swift made it from her concert in Tokyo to Las Vegas in time to watch the Super Bowl with her boyfriend, football player Travis Kelce. However, her private jet was unable to land in Las Vegas, where the event is taking place. There was no parking space for the superstar ...

The final of the US American professional football league, the National Football League (NFL), is eagerly awaited. In the run-up to the event, speculation was rife as to whether the most famous female spectator would make it to the mega-event. Taylor Swift was on stage at a concert in Japan 24 hours before kick-off.

No parking space in Las Vegas for superstar
Many fans followed Swift's journey to the USA. Shortly before midnight (local time), around 1.5 hours after the concert, her plane took off from Japan and landed in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon. She was unable to land directly in Las Vegas because she was able to park her private jet there. Because of the Super Bowl, 1200 planes are expected there. There was simply no parking space for the musician, who was also recently named Time magazine's Person of the Year 2023.

Numerous people, like this user in the post below, were feverishly waiting to see if Swift would make it to the Super Bowl on time:

Faster private plane borrowed
The pop titan had not flown in her own private jet, but had borrowed a Bombardier Global 6000 aircraft from the charter company Vista Jet. This had a similar capacity to her own jet (a Dassault 7x), but could fly faster. Due to the time pressure, the superstar probably opted for this option.

After an overnight stay in Los Angeles, Swift will then have a good night's sleep on her way to Las Vegas. She could be driven four hours to the gambling metropolis or hop on another plane that takes her closer to the desert metropolis.

Swift has a breather until the next concert
The Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers kicks off on Sunday at 3.30pm local time (0.30am on Monday night/live RTL and DAZN). Swift has watched twelve of Kelce's games in the stadium so far, generating more interest in the NFL among her own fans. The next concert on her international "Eras Tour" is scheduled for February 16 in Melbourne.
