EXCERPTS: As Travis Kelce is due to play at the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas February 11, some have speculated how his superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift can attend.
The 'End Game' singer will be continuing her Eras Tour in Tokyo, Japan one day before the Super Bowl, which poses some serious travel planning if she hopes to make the event. [...] “It’s a brutal flight, but she’ll get on her plane right after the concert.”
[...] NFL Network analyst Ian Rapoport even stirred it up on X with his question to fans: “The biggest question heading into this game, if the Chiefs win, will Taylor Swift be at the Super Bowl? Sources say YES.”
So, how could she make it?
According to Rapoport, he estimated that the 'Blank Space' singer could make it to the the Super Bowl in Vegas at 'about 7 or 8 p.m. Saturday night, just in time to party'.
This is because Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Vegas, so Swift’s performance will begin at 11 a.m. Pacific Time the day before.
Then, with the help of her private jet, she could hope to land in Sin City on Saturday by 5:30 pm local time to make it just in time to see Kelce and the rest of the Kansas Chiefs play at the game.
We’ll see what happens on the day... (MORE - missing details)

With respect to the excerpt below: I probably already knew that something equivalent to sin-eating (but while still alive) had been developed to accommodate wealthy celebrities. But like many virtue-posturing affairs, I intermittently forget such, since it doesn't hold a particularly privileged status or importance when it comes to memory allotment or the ever-shrinking space available. (Carbon offsets and credits)
Speaking on her air miles to see Kelce, a spokesperson for Swift said she had bought double the carbon credits needed for her Eras Tour in order to justify her personal emissions.
They are bought, usually from governments, to gain permission to generate CO2 emissions and the number of credits issued each year is typically set against overall emissions targets.
The spokesperson said: "Before the tour kicked off in March of 2023, Taylor purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel.
"The excess credits means Taylor could have accounted for more than enough to cover her latest romance springing up in the middle of her sell-out tour, with her trips to support Kelce upping her carbon emissions alongside her planned tour travels."

'Taylor Swift and the Private Jet' is a sort of modern take on the Romeo and Juliet story. Despite my best efforts I remain a romantic. Kid with a T. Swizzie thing.
