Taylor Swift skips Super Bowl parade as ‘Eras Tour’ set to resume in Australia
Taylor Swift will miss out on Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade Wednesday as she gears up for her “Eras Tour” to resume in Australia.
Swift, 34, landed in Australia early Thursday morning local time, according to 9News Australia. She will take the stage in Melbourne on Feb. 16. Swift will play three back-to-back shows at the Melbourne Cricket Ground before heading to Sydney for another four shows.
After Australia, the singer-songwriter will jet to Singapore for six shows beginning March 2 before she takes a break in April.
Fans had speculated Swift might attend the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City after the “Midnights” singer showed up to support the NFL star for the Feb. 11 game. Swift traveled to Las Vegas from Japan right after performing four sold-out shows in Tokyo.
Kansas City’s mayor shut down rumors that city officials asked Swift to skip the parade.
“We’re enchanted to welcome everyone to [the] parade and the women and men of our police department are prepared to keep all safe,” he wrote on X. “We’ll have a great championship celebration for our Chiefs!”
Last year’s Chiefs Super Bowl parade drew 1 million attendees, local outlet KCUR reported.
Many are also wondering if Swift will tag along on the Chiefs’ trip to the White House, but White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre did not confirm or deny her possible attendance.
