There’s a lot of planning to be done now…
The Kansas City Chiefs win this NFL– Semifinal at the Baltimore Ravens with 17:10. Last year’s champion is in the Super Bowl again!
A problem for Taylor Swift! The girlfriend of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is under a lot of stress right now.

Because: The Super Bowl takes place on Sunday, February 11th in Las Vegas. Swift is playing another concert in Tokyo on February 10th.
Luckily for them, there is a 17-hour time difference between Las Vegas and Tokyo. Nevertheless, the music superstar has to leave early after the concert to take the 11-hour flight. If everything went smoothly, Swift would be in Las Vegas on Saturday evening. Kick-off is on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. local time (12:30 a.m. in Germany).
After the Super Bowl, Swift will get back to work soon. There is already a concert in Australia on February 16th.
To the game:
The Ravens and Chiefs are already at loggerheads before the game begins. During warmups, Ravens kicker Justin Tucker stands in the Chiefs end zone and wants to do his exercises there. That doesn’t suit Kelce and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at all.
A little later, the teams attack each other at the halfway line.
Kelce delivers the first touchdown of the game. About 20 yards from the end zone, Mahomes throws the thing at his favorite passing station.
Kelce prevails over Ravens defender Kyle Hamilton – touchdown!

Hamilton, one of the league’s best defenders, had yet to allow a touchdown against a tight end earlier in the season. But Kelce is in a different league.
Taylor Swift is completely freaking out in the stands.
We can do a touchdown too – the Ravens say to themselves.
Jackson is actually already sacked, but somehow he can still get free. With a little calm in front of the defenders, he throws the egg into the end zone to receiver Zay Flowers.
The Chiefs march down the field again.
There Mahomes hands the ball over to his running back Isiah Pacheco. He pushes the thing into the end zone – touchdown! 14:7 for the Chiefs.
Shortly before halftime, the reigning champions scored a field goal to take a 17-7 lead.
Then the defensive lines take over. Nothing works quite right anymore.
Until Ravens receiver Zay Flowers makes his appearance.
First Jackson throws a very long pass at him. The Ravens are already at the 10-yard line. But Flowers taunts his opponent! So it goes back 10 yards.
Ok, no problem – think the Ravens.
Jackson throws it at him again. Flowers is on his way to the end zone, but just before the ball is knocked out of his hand. The egg rolls into the end zone and the Chiefs grab it. Change of possession.
Out of frustration, Flowers hits the bench and cuts himself.
But the Ravens get the ball back because the defense holds up.
But it gets even worse: Jackson throws a completely unnecessary interception! Instead of serving a free teammate, he throws the thing into the end zone, where three Chiefs defenders are already standing.
The preliminary decision!
The Ravens can still score a field goal and reduce the lead to 10:17, but it’s not enough for more.
Because Mahomes throws a 32-yard pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling with two minutes left.
The Chiefs are in the Super Bowl again! For the fourth time in five years.
Kelce even sets a new record with his eleven catches. He is now the player with the most passes caught in playoff history (156).
As a reward, he gets a big kiss from his Taylor at the end of the game.
