Taylor Swift seems to be bringing her signature enthusiasm to Super Bowl LVIII
If you thought Taylor Swift was a blast to watch at award shows, just wait until you see her at the Super Bowl. Are you ready for it?
After much speculation and meticulous calculations on the time it would take Taylor Swift to travel from Tokyo to Las Vegas, the superstar singer arrived at Allegiant Stadium for the Super Bowl about two hours before kickoff.
She wore an all-black outfit, complimented by a red jacket and a necklace with a number 87 charm, a nod to boyfriend Travis Kelce’s number.
Swift was seen arriving at the stadium with her friend, actress Blake Lively, recording artist Ice Spice and her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift.
During the pre-show performances, Swift and Lively were seen on CBS’s broadcast holding onto each other while swaying back and forth to singer Post Malone’s performance of “America the Beautiful.”
Malone is a featured artist on Swift’s upcoming album “The Tortured Poets Department,” out on April 19.
Swift’s attendance at the game comes after she resumed the international leg of her record-breaking “Eras Tour” in Japan, where she just performed four sold-out shows at the Tokyo Dome.
Thanks to a 17-hour time difference, Swift was able to travel back to the US following her final show on Saturday night with plenty of time to spare before kick off.
The genesis of this superstar pairing was spawned by comments that Kelce made on his “New Heights” podcast in July, where he admitted that he attempted to give Swift his phone number during an “Eras Tour” concert he attended by way of a friendship bracelet.
Kelce and Swift have since revealed that they quietly began hanging out soon thereafter and by the time Swift attended her first game in September, they were already a couple.
Since September, in between breaks from tour, Swift has shown up to many of Kelce’s football games. The Super Bowl is Swift’s 13th game that she’s attended since then, which feels fitting given 13 is her self-proclaimed lucky number.
