The Taylor Swift phenomenon has swept Japan this week, with fans arriving from all over East Asia at the Tokyo Dome to see the American pop star's last stop. A few thousand miles away, however, American fans are now hoping the star can return to the US in time to watch her boyfriend. Travis Kelce at the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Taylor Swift has been in Tokyo since Wednesday for four fully sold out shows. The Japan is the first stop in Asia on Swift's Eras Tour, which began last year and is the first to cross the billion-dollar threshold, also giving a boost to local economies.

Ticket revenue and other expenses related to the four shows in Japan are estimated to have an economic impact of34 billion yen ($230 million), according to the Economic Impact Research Laboratory.

Now the real challenge will be to reach the 58th edition of the Super Bowl, the final of the National Football League championship, on Sunday 11 February 2024 in Paradis (Nevada), a few kilometres from Las Vegas, in time.

Of course, to call Swift's worldwide travel schedule intense is an understatement. And indeed, it has catalysed quite a bit of controversy. Fans have followed her private jet on specialised websites, and there has been much discussion about the carbon dioxide emissions produced by these trips.

However, the organisers of America's sports event of the year have not commented on her ability to arrive in time at the Las Vegas airport. While the Japanese embassy in Washington wrote on social media that the singer might make it to the Super Bowl on time, including in the statement three of Swift's song titles: 'Speak Now', 'Fearless' and 'Red'.

'If he leaves Tokyo the night after the concert, he should arrive comfortably in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl starts,' many argue.

It has to be said that Swift has already toured the world in the last week. Before arriving in Asia, she attended the Grammys in Los Angeles, winning her 14th Grammy and a record fourth album of the year award with 'Midnights'. The show was watched by almost 17 million people. He also made a surprise announcement that his next album is set to be released in April.

Then the four concerts in Tokyo and now, apparently, a hurried trip to try to get to Las Vegas to see Kelce, the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, play in the Super Bowl. But that's not the end of the story. If all goes as planned, after Las Vegas Swift's private jet will take her to Australia, where more of her tour dates are scheduled.
