65,000 fans in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, many millions of spectators in the USA and worldwide: Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas is keeping the sports world in suspense this Sunday.

Will the Californians win their first championship in 30 years? The “Niners” last won in 1994 and had their heyday especially in the 1980s around quarterback legend Joe Montana and wide receiver Jerry Rice, winning the title four times. The Chiefs, on the other hand, are currently having a great moment; star coach Andy Reid’s team has been in the final four times in the last five years, and quarterback Grande Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City to two championships.

Before kick-off – And while we were at it, whether Swift would make it to Las Vegas in time for Super Bowl LVIII has been a big topic since the Chiefs qualified. She played a concert in Tokyo on Saturday evening. Because of the big time difference and with the help of a private jet, she had already arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday. From there it is about a 70-minute flight to the gambling metropolis in the US state of Nevada.
Swift and Kelce have been dating since last year. The 34-year-old attended numerous Chiefs games in the stadium and brought a lot of attention to the National Football League. Many of Swift’s millions of fans watch NFL games. According to one study, the artist has brought the league and the Chiefs a marketing equivalent of $331 million since September.
Before kick-off – First of all, the “elephant in the room”: Yes, it is there. (And you can read more about the connection between music superstar Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl here.)
