Why Taylor Swift wasn’t allowed to see Travis Kelce the night before the Super Bowl?
Taylor Swift touched down in Los Angeles on Saturday ahead of her final journey to Las Vegas today amid NFL rules preventing her from seeing Travis Kelce the night before the Super Bowl.
Swift wrapped up her final Eras Tour concert in Japan on Friday night and began her mad rush 5,500 miles across the globe to watch boyfriend Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII.
Yet instead of heading straight from Tokyo to Vegas, the pop superstar made a pit stop to head to her LA home on Saturday night, before she embarks on an hour-long flight to Sin City later today.
And as revealed by TMZ, Swift likely did so as she would not have been allowed to link up with Kelce the night before his big game.
NFL rules forbid players from staying with their wives or girlfriends on the evenings before a game, rules which have been ramped up on Super Bowl week.

Chiefs and 49ers stars would therefore have been in lockdown through the later hours of Saturday night, meaning Swift would not have been able to see her man upon arrival in Vegas – where she would have touched down at around 4pm.
That would have given her just a handful of hours to get through customs and spend time with Travis before the curfew kicked in.
As a result, heading to her property in California and spending the night there before jetting to Nevada on Sunday was likely the more appealing option.
Customs would not have been an issue given guidelines would have allowed her to fly to Vegas from Tokyo directly, while the dilemma concerning private-jet parking spaces is unlikely to have affected one of the biggest stars on the planet.
Swift is expected to complete the short trip over from Burbank airport hours before Kelce and Kansas City bid to win a second straight Super Bowl.
That will give her enough time to meet up with the likes of Jason and Kylie Kelce – who were captured by Dailymail.com enjoying a big casino win on Saturday night – and Travis’ mom Donna.
