Welp, Taylor Swift‘s taken off from Tokyo … and tremendous followers are monitoring a aircraft they’re fairly certain she’s on — and from the appears of it, she’s headed for Los Angeles, not Las Vegas.
This is the deal … a ton of Swifties are monitoring a flight that left Tokyo’s Haneda Airport at roughly the identical time it appears Swift did. Its present vacation spot — L.A., particularly LAX … and it is anticipated to the touch down later at this time.
Let’s be clear, we do not know for sure if that is Taylor’s jet or not — this is not the one she usually makes use of, it appears — however all indicators level to this being an plane carrying the celebrity again stateside … nearer to her Bev Hills dwelling, versus Vegas … the place Travis Kelce and co. clearly are proper now. So the query … why would she be touchdown in L.A.?
Properly, frankly … there are a selection of causes Taylor could be stopping within the Metropolis of Angels earlier than heading on to Sin Metropolis — however some theories make much more sense than others.
Firstly … the difficulty of customs has been raised by some as a potential cause she’s stopping off in L.A. first. Taylor’s getting back from a overseas nation, and even mega pop stars have to have their planes checked by customs brokers — one thing a handful of followers are theorizing she must do in L.A. … y’know since it is a large airport and all.
Seems, that is unlikely. We have seemed up official FAA pointers, they usually state you solely should land at some extent of entry to get again to the U.S. after flying in from a overseas nation — and seems, Las Vegas’ Harry Reid Worldwide Airport suits the invoice — it is listed as a type of factors of entry she may use. Customs may simply examine her if she landed in Vegas.
A extra possible cause she ain’t going straight to Vegas … the airport in Vegas is operating out of parking spots for personal planes — probably the most important first-world downside in historical past.
Take a look at this pic from a neighborhood Vegas social account … the airport’s packed to the gills, and The Athletic stories spots for personal planes had been all snatched up at the least a number of weeks earlier than Tremendous Bowl weekend … so, any procrastinating jet setters are out of luck.
Now we all know Taylor’s staff is not like that — she might nicely have secured her spot some time in the past — however there’s nonetheless a significant parking difficulty for PJs on the airport … tons of NFL gamers, execs and different celebs are flying in, so that they’re taking over lots of area.
Reviews have urged Taylor may nonetheless fly in and land at Harry Reid if she was dead-set on doing so, however her jet won’t have the ability to keep if she did not lock down a parking spot already — so it’d probably should be a fast drive-by/drop-off sort deal if she was insistent on it.
However let’s be actual … it is Taylor freakin’ Swift, y’all — if she desires a spot on the Vegas airport, she’s getting one, so we do not suppose a parking state of affairs is actually conserving her outta city.
Now, for a more likely rationalization for why TS would possibly skip heading to Vegas tonight … TMZ has confirmed the existence of a specific rule within the NFL — specifically, gamers are NOT allowed to stick with wives/GFs the evening earlier than video games — any video games. And also you guess your ass that goes double for Tremendous Bowl week … and we’re listening to in its full impact this week.
We do not know if it is a league-wide mandate, if it varies from staff to staff, or even when it is simply an unwritten rule handed down over time — all we all know for sure is that in relation to Tremendous Bowl Sunday, the gamers are mainly on lockdown for the wee hours of the evening.
Because it pertains to Taylor Swift … flying hours and hours to see her man, Travis, play appears to be the larger deal right here — and whereas we’re certain she’d like to see him as a lot as potential beforehand, there’s not a lot of an incentive to hurry to Vegas with such strict restrictions.
Now, Taylor’s bought a home right here on the town (L.A.) … so if she is not heading straight to Vegas from L.A. later this afternoon — which is when she’s anticipated to land — she will presumably relaxation up after a tiring journey and make the simple hour-long flight to Vegas tomorrow AM.
She’ll nonetheless have the ability to land means earlier than kickoff, meet up along with her and Travis’ households on the suite he paid for and possibly really feel an entire heck of loads higher earlier than cheering her head off.
