What happens in Vegas gets broadcast on the biggest American television night of the year. The Super Bowl, that is.

And with the Kansas City Chiefs officially facing off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, February 11, there's plenty of buzz about a certain quarterback's girlfriend who may be at the game.

To help fans travel from Kansas City to Las Vegas, home of LVIII, major airlines have added flights, with, well, some Swiftie lore. 

American Airlines Flight 1989 will fly from Kansas City to Las Vegas on Friday, February 9, and Saturday, February 10, at 12:30pm local time. United Airlines also added flight UA 1989 on Friday, February 9, at 4:15pm 1989, of course, is Taylor Swift's birth year, and the name of her most recently re-released album.

After the game, AA Flight 87, for Travis Kelce's jersey number, leaves Las Vegas for Kansas City at 12:20am local time on Monday, February 12. United Airlines is shipping the couple with flight 2287, a reference to Kelce's number and one of Swift's hit songs.

Whether or not you've bought into the relationship, it's clearly been a money maker for the NFL this season, with Swift's appearances reportedly generating an additional $330 million in revenue for the league and the team and breaking viewership records for women.

The question on fans' minds, however, is if Swift will even show up to cheer on the Chiefs, as she's performing the international leg of the Eras tour in Tokyo on Saturday, February 10. The show kicks off at 4pm local time, which is actually 11pm Friday night in Vegas, thanks to the 17-hour time change. Even with the 15+ hour flight on her private jet, there's plenty of time for Swift to rest up and appear in Chiefs red at the Super Bowl.
