This is getting silly.
It was already silly, sure, but now the whole Taylor Swift/NFL/Travis Kelce/Super Bowl thing is getting truly surreal and more than a little off.
Here’s the latest: Japan’s embassy in Washington DC has issued a statement regarding Swift’s travel plans.
In other words: Because a pop singer has to fly from Tokyo to Las Vegas to see a soccer game on a relatively short schedule, the Japanese Embassy has something to say that includes the requisite Swift song puns. .
“The Embassy of Japan in the United States is aware of recent media reports regarding the steps Taylor Swift will need to take to travel from Tokyo after her February 10 concert to Las Vegas in time to see the Kansas City Chiefs play in Super Bowl LVIII. ,” he The declaration begins solemnly.. “Despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference, the Embassy can confidently say on Speak Now that if you leave Tokyo the night after your concert, you should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins. . We know that many people in Japan are excited to experience Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, so we wanted to confirm that anyone interested may be afraid to know that this talented performer can wow Japanese audiences and still make it to Las Vegas to support to the Chiefs when I take the field for the Super Bowl wearing red.”
Swift’s travel plan has been discussed endlessly since the Chiefs won their AFC Championship game on Sunday, clinching their spot in the big game.
Perhaps the best explanation came from this viral clip of The west wingwhere the president’s team faced a similar travel schedule from Japan to the United States.
This week, Swift has also been the focus of attention right-wing conspiracy theories, where some actually believe that her romance with the Chiefs tight end is all a psychological operation by the Pentagon to inject the singer’s left-of-center politics into the NFL. The conspiracies also include that this season’s football games have been secretly rigged to ensure the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, where Swift will take the field during the halftime show to announce her endorsement of Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. .
And none of that even gets into last week’s AI-faked nude images scandal.
Super Bowl LVIII will air on CBS and live on Paramount+ starting at 3:30 pm PT on February 11.
No one knows who will win the game, but it’s a safe bet that until then, the level of Swift obsession will continue to rise.
