Taylor and Super Bowl: Airlines joke about the singer’s romance – 01/29/2024 – Market

In anticipation of the upcoming Super Bowl in Las Vegas on February 11, both United and American Airlines have announced additional flights to the entertainment city. Adding a touch of creativity to their services, both companies decided to assign unique numbers to these special flights.

A notable aspect of this development is the coincidence in flight numbers chosen by both American and United Airlines, directly related to the off-field ‘buzz’ surrounding the burgeoning romance between Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and pop sensation Taylor Swift. .

After being rumored to have started their relationship in August and publicly acknowledging it at an SNL party in October 2023, the celebrity couple has since become the target of media attention. Taylor Swift, often called “Tay Tay,” has been a regular at Kansas City Chiefs games, supporting her boyfriend from the box.

Kelce, in return, returned the affection by accompanying Swift on segments of her global tour The Eras Tour. Notably, he was seen making the heart sign with his hands after scoring touchdowns.

In lighthearted fashion, both American and United Airlines decided to reference the celebrity couple in their special Super Bowl flight numbers. The flight from Kansas City to Las Vegas, offered by both companies, shares the same number: AA1989. This number pays homage to Taylor Swift’s nine-times platinum 1989 album, named after the year the culture was born.

American Airlines, in particular, is taking the relaxation of flight numbers to an additional level. The return flight to Kansas City was assigned the number AA87, which is Travis Kelce’s jersey number. It looks like airlines are taking advantage of the opportunity to inject some entertainment and celebrity glamor into the Super Bowl travel experience.

According to Paddle Your Own Kanoo, Taylor Swift, known for her use of private jets, will use her own means of transportation to participate in the Super Bowl festivities. However, her frequent use of private jets has raised environmental concerns, with one group in 2022 naming her as a major contributor to carbon emissions due to her air travel.

Despite these concerns, Swift’s Dassault Falcon 7X private jet will play an important role in transporting her from Tokyo, where she is scheduled to perform on her Eras tour, to Las Vegas, ensuring she arrives in plenty of time to cheer on her boyfriend in action. .
