After fans fretted about Swift being able to make it to the Super Bowl to see boyfriend Travis Kelce play after performing her Eras Tour in Japan, one X user shared a clip from an old 'West Wing' episode that seemed to settle the debate.

The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to take on the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas at Super Bowl LVIII on February 11, and one big question has been weighing on everyone's mind.

No, not who will win.


Will Taylor Swift be there?

Okay, maybe not everyone is wondering, but fans of the romantic duo comprising TSwift and KC tight end Travis Kelce certainly have been fretting, especially since the Grammy winner will be performing the night before—in Japan.

And let's face it, considering the Chief's 9-3 record with Swift in attendance, we bet some Kansas City diehards are secretly hoping she's there to support the team, as well.

It seems The West Wing solved this problem some 22-ish years ago, and we have our answer, thanks to one X user who shared the clip.

Rohita Kadambi (@RohitaKadambi) tweeted the video along with the caption:

"Can Taylor Swift make the Super Bowl from her Tokyo concert?"
"A West Wing episode from 2001 already answered this:"

In the season 2 episode 15 clip, the characters are doing some time calculations to determine what time the President would return from his trip to Tokyo.

Rob Lowe’s Sam Seaborn does some math:

“The flight is 13 hours long. He’s going to travel eastward from Tokyo leaving at 7:00 p.m. So when he crossed the International Dateline….3 a.m..”

They figured that the President would arrive in Washington, D.C., around 6 p.m. that same day.

You can watch below.

So what does it all mean?

Swift's concert begins at 8 p.m. on Sunday and will last about three hours. That puts the show's end time around 11 p.m. in Japan, which is 6 a.m. in Vegas.

If the singer catches a flight directly following the concert, she just might make it to Vegas in time for the coin toss.

And people on social media rejoiced.

And, of course, the masses expressed their endless gratitude for The West Wing.




They also applauded the X user for making this brilliant connection.





There truly is a West Wing reference for everything.

Elon Musk Offers Awkward Reaction After Spending Nearly Half A Billion Dollars On Losing Republicans

Trillionaire X owner Elon Musk offered an awkward reaction after spending nearly $474 million on Republican candidates, many of whom lost on Election Night.

Musk’s political spending is expected to climb beyond the $474 million reported so far, since contributions made after October 14 have not yet been included in the tally. Of the amount currently documented, $216 million was directed to his own super PAC, America PAC, including $212 million earmarked for Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.

Gynecologists Are Weighing In With Hilarious Warnings Due To Overwhelming 'Wicker' Thirst

Wicker has been in theaters for a couple of weeks now and it's causing quite a stir. The quirky romantic fantasy stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely from wicker and Olivia Colman as the lonely fisherwoman who grows so tired of her town's ridicule that she commissions the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband.

Despite the film's romantic subtext and its pushback against social norms, much of the online chatter has focused on the more intimate moments. And people are wondering how complete Skarsgård's costume was, particularly the appendage that made those sexy scenes memorable.

Texas is arguably the story of the midterms, a state that hasn't gone blue in decades and hasn't been won by a Democratic Presidential candidate since 1976.
