With the applause of her fans still ringing in her ears, pop star Taylor Swift began her trek to the Super Bowl.

Swift left Japan Saturday night Tokyo time from Haneda airport, according to the New York Post.

Swift had been a running NFL storyline this season because of her relationship with Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, who play the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

The Associated Press noted that even the time zones were accommodating for Swift, because taking off from Tokyo at midnight was the equivalent of leaving Las Vegas at 7 a.m. Saturday.

And, as the Post noted, the much-hyped ocean-hopping is nothing new for Swift, who flew from Asia to Los Angeles and back last weekend to grab her fourth Album of the Year Grammy award.

Swift posted a message to her Asian fans en route to the Super Bowl.

“Tokyo!!! Those 4 shows at Tokyo Dome were so wonderful. I’d missed you all so much and loved being on stage frolicking around with my fellow performers and band again. Thank you to everyone who lives in and around Tokyo, and everyone who traveled far and wide to be there with us,” she posted on her  Instagram account.

Although the Swift hype grates on some, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is just fine with all the attention, even if the game is in the shadow of the Swift-Kelce storyline.

“Having the Taylor Swift effect is also a positive,” Goodell said, according to Deadline.

“Both Travis and Taylor are wonderful young people, they seem very happy. She knows great entertainment and I think that’s why she loves NFL football. I think it’s great to have her a part of it. Obviously, it creates a buzz, another group of young fans. Particularly young women,” he said.

Not everyone is on board.

“I’m not looking forward to watching America gawk while their favorite sweetheart watches her beau play America’s favorite sport. But Usher’s performing during halftime, so hey, I’ll tune in for his 13-minute performance,” Taryn Finley wrote for the Huffington Post.

And if it sounds like I’m a hater, I am,” she wrote.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
