This is just getting silly.
The Unbelievable Swift/Super Bowl Connection
It was already silly, but now the Taylor Swift/NFL/Travis Kelce/Super Bowl thing has taken a surreal turn, veering off the rails.
Japan’s Embassy Weighs In
Here’s the latest: Japan’s embassy in Washington, D.C. has addressed Swift’s travel plans.
In other words, because a pop singer has to fly from performing shows in Tokyo to Las Vegas to watch a football game on a relatively short schedule, the Embassy of Japan has something to say, complete with Swift song puns.

“The Embassy of Japan in the United States is aware of recent media reports concerning the steps Taylor Swift will need to take to travel from Tokyo after her concert on February 10th to Las Vegas in time to watch the Kansas City Chiefs play in Super Bowl LVIII,” the statement reads solemnly. “Despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference, the Embassy can confidently Speak Now to say that if she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins.

The Fuss over Swift’s Travel Plan

In recent weeks, Swift has also found herself at the center of right-wing conspiracy theories. Some individuals actually believe that her romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is part of a Pentagon psychological operation aimed at injecting the singer’s left-of-center politics into the NFL. These theories also claim that this football season’s games have been secretly rigged to ensure the Chiefs’ victory in the Super Bowl, where Swift will take the stage during the halftime show to announce her endorsement of Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
And There’s More…
And that’s not even all. Let’s not forget the recent scandal involving AI deepfake nude images of Swift surfacing on Twitter just last week.
