Taylor Swift plans to be in Las Vegas if the Chiefs qualify for the Super Bowl, even though they performed a concert in Tokyo the night before.
On Sunday, ESPN's Ian Rapoport reported that Swift was willing to fulfill both singing and cheerleading duties by flying all the way from Asia if the situation required it. He also explained how time zones can help make this trip successful.
“The biggest question going into this game is, without a doubt, 'If the Chiefs win, will Taylor Swift be in the Super Bowl?'” Rapoport said on NFL Game Day. “Sources say yes.”
“Now she's doing a concert in Tokyo on Saturday February 10th at 6pm, how on earth could she get to the game?” “Let me introduce you to something called the International Date Line.”
“Tokyo is 17 hours ahead,” Rapoport continued. “That means this concert starts at 1 a.m. Vegas time.” [on] on the same day. Let's say it's a five-hour concert at about 11 p.m. local time, which is 6 a.m., still Saturday, in Las Vegas. “Imagine a 12-hour flight, maybe she leaves about an hour later.”

“Taylor Swift could still make it to the Super Bowl.” [at] “Saturday night around 7 or 8 p.m., just in time for partying,” Rapoport said.
Whether or not Swift has to storm from the Eastern Hemisphere to the West Coast all depends on the outcome on Sunday, when the Chiefs take on a difficult task at the Baltimore Ravens.
The Ravens secured the top seed in the AFC with a 13-4 record this season before defeating the Houston Texans in the divisional playoffs.
Baltimore was led by quarterback Lamar Jackson in his MVP season as he led the team in rushing and passing yards. The Ravens also got a boost toward the conference championship as tight end Mark Andrews will return from an ankle injury.
On the other hand, the Chiefs finished with an 11-6 record before defeating the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills in the postseason to qualify for Sunday's game.
Swift has now played in 12 games, including the championship game in Baltimore.
