Taylor Swift has arrived in Las Vegas after a highly anticipated race around the world — and against time — to make it to the Super Bowl after her performance Saturday night in Tokyo.
The NFL shared a video on X early Sunday afternoon showing the singer arriving at Allegiant Stadium alongside Blake Lively and Ice Spice.

The 14-time Grammy winner had just kicked off the Eastern Hemisphere leg of her international “Eras Tour” with four back-to-back nights at the Tokyo Dome, the tour’s first stop of the year.
With the help of Tokyo’s 17-hour time difference ahead of Las Vegas, Swift had a window of more than 35 hours to cover the 5,500-mile journey to watch her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, face off against the San Francisco 49ers in the 58th Super Bowl Sunday evening.
Despite buzzy speculation about the tight travel plans, many fans weren’t too worried about her ability to make it. The Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., even issued a social media statement earlier this month expressing confidence that the pop star would “comfortably arrive” at her destination if she departed after her concert, which on Saturday ended at around 9 p.m. local time.
