Could Taylor Swift appear at the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade in Kansas City? We did the math

Taylor Swift's boyfriend's team won the Super Bowl. Now the Kansas City Swifties are asking if she will participate in the Kansas City Chiefs' victory parade.

The pop star kissed Travis Kelce after Sunday's game in Las Vegas (after flying out of a stop on the Tokyo Eras tour). During the game, she hung out with celebrities including Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey and Blake Lively.

She made it to the Super Bowl – but was she able to celebrate the victory in Kansas City?

Could Taylor Swift appear at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade?

Swift has finished the Tokyo leg of her tour and pServices next in Melbourne, Australia. Can she go to the parade and be there in time for the concert?

The show is Friday at 6:20pm Melbourne time (1:20am Central time) with opening act Sabrina Carpenter. Melbourne is 17 hours ahead of Kansas City.

A flight on Taylor Swift's private jet from Kansas City to Melbourne would take just over 17 hours, including a 1.5-hour refueling stop, according to private jet charter company JetFinder.

This means Taylor Swift must depart Kansas City by 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 15, to arrive at Melbourne Airport at her scheduled departure time.

Swift has not commented on her plans.

When asked on Feb. 5 about his plans for Valentine's Day – the same day as the parade – Kelce said, “I'm not thinking about anything other than this football game… I can't imagine anything that's going to happen until this football game is over.”

What will the safety of the parade be like when the streets are flooded with Swifties?

When Swift attended producer Jack Antonoff's wedding in August 2023, a huge crowd of Swifties waited outside the venue, blocking a street in New Jersey. Kansas City saw a huge crowd for Taylor Swift's Eras tour in July 2023, which drew an average of 144,000 attendees across two concerts, according to Statista.

Phil DiMartino, spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department, wrote on February 2: “Everything is still in the planning phase at this time.”

What is the verdict?

Since the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City is on February 14, Taylor Swift could theoretically spend Valentine's Day at the parade with Travis Kelce and then make it to her show in Melbourne in time, although it would be a close call.
