Taylor Swift fans concerned with the pop star's hectic schedule were told to shake it off by the Embassy of Japan in Washington, D.C.

The embassy assured worried Swifties that she'd have ample time to travel from Tokyo to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.

Swift, who is in the middle of her nearly two-year Eras Tour, is scheduled to perform four shows at Tokyo Dome between Wednesday (Feb 7) and Saturday; but the pop icon is also expected to appear at the Super Bowl on Sunday to cheer on her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce.

The Chiefs will square off with the San Francisco 49ers for the championship for the second time in five years.

Last week, pop culture outlets like Entertainment Weekly and People magazine speculated about the timing and logistics of Swift's potential trip.

The Japanese embassy weighed in Friday on social media to issue a tongue-in-cheek statement studded with references to some of Swift's biggest hits.

"Despite the 12-hour flight and 17-hour time difference, the embassy can confidently Speak Now to say that if she departs Tokyo in the evening after her concert, she should comfortably arrive in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl begins," the statement said.

Emphasiaing that audiences are excited to experience her sold-out Eras Tour – declared by Guinness World Records in December as the highest-grossing music tour ever – the embassy wrote that "anyone concerned can be Fearless in knowing that this talented performer can wow Japanese audiences and still make it to Las Vegas" to support the Chiefs.

Swift, who has attended a dozen Chiefs games this season, so far has not publicly stated whether she will be attending the big game.

During Sunday's Grammy Awards, the singer made history by winning her fourth album-of-the-year award for Midnights.

During her acceptance speech, Swift announced that her next effort, The Tortured Poets Department, will be released April 19. – Stars And Stripes/Tribune News Service
