Taylor Swift can and will be at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas despite performing the fourth and final Eras Tour stop in Tokyo, Japan the night before the Big Game.
I’m not proud of myself for doing it, but I actually broke down how this was entirely possible for all of the BroBible staff at a recent meeting by explaining her private jet’s capabilities and the time zone differences working in her favor. But when the Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC Championship, a guy named Kyle Philippi one-upped my by putting together an entire presentation for his wife and her friends on how Taylor Swift can and will be at the Super Bowl.
Here is the video and I’ll break it all down below as his numbers are slightly off. But let’s take a minute to appreciate how he blows his wife’s mind with the entire presentation:

Here’s what we know. The concert will likely end between 11 Pm and 12 AM in Tokyo. Taylor Swift will be able to be quickly whisked out of the arena and taken to one of Tokyo’s private airports where her Dassault Falcon 900 (private jet) sits.
She will have to go through Customs like everyone leaving the country but it will be faster because she’ll be flying through a private airport. Likewise, she will have to go through Customs upon arrival in Las Vegas but that will also be expedited.
Taylor Swift’s Dassault Falcon 900 has a range of 4,750 nautical miles. The flight from Tokyo to Las Vegas is 5,984 NM so she’d either need to stop once to refuel or take another jet, but let’s just assume that adds *at most* an hour which it likely won’t add any time at all. Here’s how far that is in ‘Oklahomas’.

There is a 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Las Vegas which will really work in Taylor Swift’s favor while getting to the Super Bowl. Time will essentially be at a standstill while she flies to Las Vegas because midnight on Saturday when she’d theoretically leave Tokyo would only 7 AM Saturday morning in Las Vegas.
Should she want to go to the Super Bowl, she would arrive with plenty of time. Her private jet presumably has a bedroom and shower to stay fresh on the flight which will take around 12 and a half hours. She’d get to Las Vegas with time to reset and get to the game.
Did this guy need to create an entire PPT presentation for his wife and friends on how Taylor Swift will be at the Super Bowl? No. Is it content GOLD that he did? It sure is. The video has racked up 7.6 million views in 12 hours.
