Watching America’s hottest couple, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, perform on the same weekend could cost fans upwards of six figures.

Swift begins the next leg of her “Eras Tour” in Japan this week, with the last of her four shows scheduled for Saturday, while Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs battle the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas the next night.

Swifties know their icon is expected to board his private jet after his final show at the Tokyo Dome in Japan’s capital and fly 12 hours across the Pacific to see the big game.

But mere mortals can expect to spend big on their life savings to achieve the ultimate double date.

When taking into account the tickets for both events; flights to and from Japan, Las Vegas and place of origin; hotels and food, the entire whirlwind trip could cost up to $119,000, according to a Bloomberg News analysis.

The total is twice the average annual salary of the average American worker.

Those looking to save money can do so for about $7,800, Bloomberg found.

And since they’re traveling on commercial flights, they’ll have to attend a Swift concert earlier in the week if they want to see both events.

Tickets for a Swift concert in Tokyo cost between $231 and $7,300 on the secondary market, while the cheapest seat for the Super Bowl sells for around $5,008.

A prime spot in Sin City can cost up to $78,000.

As for plane tickets, someone living in New York would need to book a flight to Tokyo, and the cheapest flight, which includes a one-hour layover, costs $661 on Expedia.

For those who travel in style, a first-class plane ticket to Tokyo can cost around $20,000.

From Japan, a flight to Las Vegas would cost around $823, although it would most likely involve a stopover.

To fly back to New York, flights departing from Las Vegas cost between $277 and $7,520, according to Bloomberg.

The itinerary also includes booking suitable accommodations in Tokyo and Las Vegas.

A hotel near Swift’s performance venue will cost between $400 and $4,000 for a two-night stay.

In Las Vegas, booking a hotel on Super Bowl night could range from $1,400 on the high end to $350 for a more affordable option.

And that’s without taking into account the additional costs of food and ground transportation.
