Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce celebrated the Chiefs' AFC Championship win in January
Taylor Swift arrives at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, and footage has been released showing her with her famous friends Blake Lively and Ice Spice from the stadium.
The singer, who is dating Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, made it just in the nick of time after a concert in Japan on Saturday night.
Her journey from Tokyo to Los Angeles was followed by thousands of people online.
Swift recently threatened to sue a student who tracked his private jet and shared its movements online.
Ahead of Sunday's big game, many were wondering which friends and family she would bring to the game.
Video from the stadium shows her parents, Andrea and Scott Swift, with her. In another clip, Swift is seen greeting Jason Kelce, Travis Kelce's younger brother and fellow NFL player.
Earlier this month, the Japanese Embassy in the United States also joined the conversation surrounding Swift's Super Bowl dash, posting a statement about it on social media.
“If you leave Tokyo in the evening after the concert, you should be able to comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins,” the embassy said.
Due to the 17-hour time difference between Tokyo and Los Angeles, it is believed Swift was able to return to the US in time to reach her home in Los Angeles before heading to Sin City.
In 2022, Swift topped the list of celebrities with the most CO2 emissions from private jets, according to digital marketing firm Yard.

Kelce talks about Swift's recent success at the Grammys (she became the first person to win the coveted album of the year award four times) and looks to match her trophy. he said.
“She's rewriting the history books herself,” he said. “I told her she had to put up with the end of the bargain and take home the hardware as well.”
