The Super Bowl is one of the most iconic moments of the year in the United States, although its impact is global. The origins of this acclaimed event date back to the 1960s when a group of entrepreneurs sought their own professional football franchises but were frustrated by the alleged unwillingness of the NFL. As a result, they inaugurated the AFL as an alternative league. Both leagues would formally merge in 1970, but they would compete against each other in the so-called «Super Bowl,» whose first game was in 1967.
Years later, this event has become a pinnacle not only in sports but also in entertainment. The halftime performance at the Super Bowl is also one of the most anticipated of the year, with Usher set to headline this time. However, this past weekend, Travis Kelce’s football team (Kansas City Chiefs), the player who has been dating our iconic Taylor Swift for a few months, managed to qualify to attend this season finale. By the way, they left us with some very sweet images.
Now, perhaps one of the big questions that has been circulating on social media since then is, will we see Taylor Swift at the 2024 Super Bowl? Well, everything points to yes, as the singer is a devoted supporter of her partner’s games, and we’ve seen her giving her all, wearing the Chiefs’ gear, cheering for Travis from the stands. However, when it comes to a more performative aspect, it’s not so clear.
Let’s remember that, although artists performing at the Super Bowl love the element of surprise, Usher is the main artist this year and does not have any collaboration with Taylor Swift. Nevertheless, as has happened in other years, her performance could alternate with a surprise appearance by the artist… it’s possible, although there is still no official theory confirming this.
Arriving in Las Vegas for the last game of the season won’t be so easy, as Taylor will already be in the midst of her The Eras Tour in Tokyo on the same Saturday night before the game. And remember that Tokyo is about 17 hours ahead of Las Vegas. Her show will start around 6 pm local time in the Asian country, and her performances last between 3 and 4 hours, ending around 10 pm. Considering that the return trip to the United States will take around 11 or 12 hours, Taylor might arrive at some point on Saturday night U.S. time. It will be quite exhausting, as she has concerts on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday in Tokyo, and the game starts on Sunday shortly after 3:30 pm PT.
In summary, will we see Taylor at the event? It seems challenging but not impossible, and our diva always surprises us.
