(NewsNation) — The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to Super Bowl LVIII but the question remains: Will Taylor Swift be there?

While Swift has been a regular fixture at Chiefs games since she debuted her relationship with star tight end Travis Kelce, fans are wondering if she will be able to make it after an Eras Tour performance in Tokyo scheduled for the day before.

Kelce led his team to victory against the Baltimore Ravens to clinch a spot in the championship game, which kicks off at 3:30 p.m. PT on Feb. 11. But Swift will be performing on the other side of the world on Feb. 10.

Her fans —nicknamed “swifties” — took to social media to figure out whether the trip was possible, and it seems like it is.

Turns out, the 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas works in Swift’s favor, leaving her plenty of time to make it to Las Vegas and still get a full night’s rest.

The Tokyo concert is set to start at 6 p.m., but Swift typically opens her set two hours after the start time. With an average three-and-a-half-hour set, Swift should wrap up the show by midnight, talk show host Drew Barrymore estimated.

“The flight time is 11 hours and 35 minutes approximately from Tokyo to Vegas, so she might arrive at 10:30 p.m., but on February 10, leaving her a full night’s sleep. So she really could make it to the Super Bowl if — just if — it happens to come true,” Barrymore said on her show.

In another scenario, Variety explains if Swift spends the night in Tokyo after her concert, she could still make it in time for kickoff as long as her flight leaves before 6 p.m. Japan Standard Time on Feb. 11.

Swift has been taking frequent trips to attend Chiefs games between her Eras Tour performances, raising criticism about the level of carbon emissions she is responsible for while flying back and forth on her private jets.

The journey to reach the Super Bowl alone would create an estimated 43.8 tonnes of carbon emissions. As of last month, the popstar’s flights to cheer Kelce on have produced 138 tons of CO2 emissions, based on statistics taken from the Instagram account “Taylor’s Swifts Jets.”

Even before their relationship went public, Swift was named the biggest celebrity CO2 polluter in 2022, a title she is expected to retain for 2023.

Her total flight emissions for 2022 were calculated at 8,293.54 tonnes – 1,184.8 times more than the average person’s total annual emissions.

It is yet to be seen whether Swift will take the quick trip to the U.S. for the Super Bowl before the Eras Tour continues on Feb. 16 in Australia.
