Travis Kelce has refused to confirm whether his girlfriend Taylor Swift will have parking for her private jet at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Swift is jetting around the globe to attend kickoff at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday when Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers.
The pop star wraps up the Japanese leg of her Eras tour in Tokyo on February 10th and faces a mad dash to return to the US for the February 11th game.
But in addition to the time crunch, she may also have trouble finding a place to park her plane for the weekend in Las Vegas.
reported last week that private jet parking in Sin City was completely sold out for Super Bowl weekend, leaving many of the rich and famous to look for alternatives.

Michael Giordano, a partner at Cirrus Aviation Services in Las Vegas, told the New York Post that the NFL will provide Swift with a landing spot, even though parking is becoming increasingly difficult to come by.
“Taylor Swift will definitely have a place to end up in the NFL, but not necessarily a place to park,” Giordano said.
However, Kelce refused to say definitively whether or not Swift had definitely received such an award.
Asked Monday night, Kelce replied, “I have to ask.”
According to the New York Post, private jet parking is already available at the city's Harry Reid Airport and the two closest corporate jet strips, North Las Vegas and Henderson.
Meanwhile, spots for Sunday night's launches have also reportedly already been taken for fans looking to get away quickly.

Congestion on the three Strips, fueled not only by the NFL's biggest game but also by LIV Golf hosting its first Las Vegas tournament this week, has San Francisco tech billionaires and New York hedge fund owners panicking .
A private jet insider told The Post he knew of a New York-based hedge fund owner who had tickets to the Super Bowl but decided to stay in the Big Apple to watch the game because of travel chaos.
“They couldn’t find a place and it felt risky to come out on Sunday night,” he said. “It's not worth going if you can't come home when you want to.” “They decided to get off the jet and watch the game in New York.”
Meanwhile, Silicon Valley's tech gurus are also in trouble after failing to plan ahead before the San Francisco 49ers' victory in the NFC Championship game last month.
“These technicians think they know everything and don’t listen,” added Giordano, who revealed that he has told his clients that it’s not about money, but that he physically can’t accommodate them.
“I have turned down about $500,000 worth of travel requests because there are no more planes and no more slots.”

Even if the one percenters manage to secure a private jet slot, they reportedly face additional fees.
Signature Flight Support and Atlantic Aviation, the two main operators of private jets in Vegas, as well as Henderson Executive Airport, are said to have increased fees for special events to take advantage of the tense situation.
Kelce was also asked if his famous girlfriend's presence at his games puts more pressure on him to deliver.
The 34-year-old replied: “You can't put more pressure on me than I put on myself.” I promise you that. It's just the heart of a competitor.
“She definitely brought a lot of new faces into the game and that was fun to experience.”
“She seems to be enjoying the games. “She's part of the Chiefs kingdom now and it's fun to see her enjoying the game of football.”
