Wondering if Taylor Swift could make it from Tokyo to Las Vegas in time for the Super Bowl? Tired. Wondering if she will be able to spend Valentine’s Day in Kansas City and make it to Melbourne, Australia in time for her subsequent Eras Tour date? Very, very wired.
The query is not an interesting one as a result of I assume that Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight finish Travis Kelce, are followers of the martyr-based vacation, nor do I consider that February 14 has particular that means to Swift resulting from her position in Garry Marshall’s 2010 romantic comedy, Valentine’s Day. (She’s not a cheerleader, she’s on the dance staff.) Instead, it is as a result of if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl on February 11, the staff’s victory parade shall be held on February 14, Kansas City’s metropolis council agreed this week.
As anybody who’s traveled internationally is aware of, going to work, then flying 13 hours, then going to a major different’s work occasion the day after that flight is hardly remarkable, regardless of breathless headlines on the contrary. If people who fly commercially can do it, a billionaire with two personal jets, a 17-hour time acquire, and the assist of the nation of Japan could make it work, people.
If all goes as deliberate, Swift shall be in Nevada the evening earlier than the Chiefs take the sphere in opposition to the San Francisco 49ers for the so-called Big Game. And if there is not room for Swift’s jet on the 4 airports nearest Allegiant Stadium, because the San Francisco Chronicle prompt (with hope in its coronary heart, maybe, as Kelce mentioned Friday that the assist he will get from Swift provides him “a reason to play that much harder”), she has time to land additional away and drive. It’s solely 270 miles or so from LA correct to Las Vegas, which, by Midwestern requirements, is a fast and straightforward jaunt.
That jaunt will get more durable when Swift returns to the street. That 17 hours Swift good points on her journey from Tokyo to Vegas for the Super Bowl shall be misplaced when she travels to the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, the place she’s set to carry out on Friday, February 16. The present begins at 6 p.m. native time, which is 1 a.m. Friday CT. If Swift expects to be totally rested and able to carry out her bodily demanding set, she’ll must journey properly earlier than then.
“It’s the biggest jinx of all time, but we did the same thing last year — although everyone might have forgotten,” Kansas City, Missouri mayor Quinton Lucas said of the city’s parade plans. The $975,000 parade would be the city’s fourth since 2015 and will (if it happens) wind through downtown before ending in a rally at Union Station, KSHB reports. While Swift certainly would not be the central figure in a celebration of the team, it’s likely her appearance is hoped for—and if she leaves straight after the rally, she might be in great shape for a show in the following days. As with her trip to Nevada, other working people have likely done worse.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, officials are far less forthcoming when it comes to a Niners celebration. Sources tell the Chronicle if warranted, a parade will be held in downtown San Francisco on February 15.
It’s worth noting that despite their name, the 49ers actually play about 50 miles away, in the city of Santa Clara. That city’s mayor, Lisa Gillmor, said Santa Clara would love to host the parade, but the team “would have to support it financially” as “we’re not in a position to do that.” Meanwhile, San Francisco—which is going through an $800 million funds shortfall—has but to put aside funds for a attainable parade.
