Kansas City will be turning red on Valentine’s Day as the Chiefs celebrate their come-from-behind overtime Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers.
The biggest question on Kansas Citian’s minds this year has nothing to do with the players or even finding parking for the big event but if Taylor Swift will be there.
Ahead of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade, the City Manager of Kansas City “hinted” that he already told Taylor Swift’s representatives that the city is not equipped to handle the amount of Swiftes that would come out with just the regular fans should the pop star choose to be on a truck with Travis Kelce.
“I can’t confirm or deny but we might have already told that to her team, just to keep everybody safe and make things a little bit easier for us,” said Platt, according to KCUR.
According to Australian media outlets, Taylor Swift is en route to Melbourne for her Eras Tour. The Grammy winner was reportedly flying from Los Angeles to Hawaii before heading to Melbourne for her sold-out shows.
Melbourne TV station 10 News First tweeted: “Taylor Swift is officially on her way here. A private jet, believed to be carrying Swift, departed LAX earlier this morning en route to Hawaii, with flight logs showing the plane is due to land in Melbourne shortly after midnight tonight.”
Looks like a possible crisis has been avoided.
Swift is expected to land in Melbourne at 12:31 a.m. Thursday, just one day before her scheduled performances.

If Taylor goes to the parade, the Kansas City Police Department might face challenges in handling the influx of fans who are showing up to be even closer to their favorite singer, and who knows how far they might take it. No police department could handle this on top of half a million other fans who are there to celebrate.
The event is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday.
