She’s Back! Taylor Swift ‘shields’ behind a curtain as an SUV whisks her away from LAX after the popstar touched down from Tokyo to make it to the Super Bowl
She’s back! Taylor Swift has landed in LA with exactly 24 hours to spare before boyfriend Travis Kelce takes to the field for the Chiefs clash with the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
Photos show the star singer’s plane touching down at LAX following an eight-hour flight from Tokyo bearing the call sign ‘The Football Era’ that was tracked by over 32,000 people.
A fleet of SUVs was pulled up next to the hangar at the airport’s private terminal to whisk the 34-year-old away.
The singer appeared to shield herself from the circus of fans and media who had gathered at the airport for her arrival.
There was an unprecedented police presence at the terminal with several police vehicles parked outside as Swift’s motorcade of SUVs escorted her away from the airport.
The pop superstar was zipped off to her Los Angeles home where she hunkered down for the night. She is expected to complete the remaining 300 miles of her journey to Las Vegas for the big game Sunday morning.
Despite leaving Japan at 9.30pm Saturday night, the music megastar arrived in LA earlier than when she left – touching down at 3.35pm on Saturday afternoon thanks to the time difference.
Swift made the dash back from Japan following a busy week that took in four sold out performances at the Tokyo Dome – the final one on Saturday night.
The pop billionaire is also fresh from winning a record-breaking fourth ‘album of the year’ Grammy – handed out at a glitzy ceremony in LA while Kelce, 34, was arriving in Las Vegas ahead of the Super Bowl.
