Swift will be performing seven shows across Melbourne and Sydney over two weeks – a tiring feat for any performer, let alone one who recently traversed multiple timezones over just a couple of days. The distance between Tokyo and Las Vegas is about 8900 kilometres, which would take approximately 12 hours and 25 minutes on a direct flight. Thanks to the 17-hour time difference between the two cities (with Japan being ahead), Swift would be able to make it to Las Vegas in time to have a whole day to rest before heading to Allegiant Stadium to cheer on her Lover.

The time difference between Las Vegas and Melbourne is less forgiving. Instead of gaining a day, like she would when travelling from Japan to Las Vegas, Swift would practically lose a day upon her arrival in Australia. Though she’s currently undergoing a more robust rehearsal regime before her Japan shows, having only two or three days before the first Melbourne concert would probably mean she’d have to start rehearsing the day after arriving – jet lag and all.

It would be a tight turnaround, but Swift is no stranger to this. During the US leg of her tour last year, she often performed three consecutive shows per city. In Los Angeles, she did this twice in a row with only one day to rest in between – that’s six shows in a week. In December, Swift told Time Magazine she dedicates only one day to “full” recovery between tour legs. Every other day is used to prepare for upcoming dates in some way.

According to Swift’s website, she usually has four to six days to travel to the next country on her tour schedule. However, some of the breaks are shorter, such as between Amsterdam and Zürich, in which she will only have a three-day break. Notably, these cities are much closer than Melbourne and Las Vegas and have no time difference.

It may be whirlwind, but it wouldn’t be surprising if Swift squeezed in the Super Bowl. She has attended each of Kelce’s games since she finished the first leg of her international Eras Tour in November. Videos of the pair celebrating the Chiefs’ AFC Championship win on Monday have been circulating online, further embedding Swift in Kelce’s Super Bowl journey. She will also most likely be flying on a private jet, which means she could actually sleep during her flights.

It’s less certain whether Kelce would leave with Swift, or join her later. And another concern could be the extra carbon emissions the double cross-Pacific trip would emit, given the singer’s current track record. But it’s a trip she probably won’t want to miss. After all, all’s well that ends well to end up with Kelce.
