Super Bowl 2024: Where and when is it and will Taylor Swift be there? What to know
Super Bowl Sunday is almost upon us, but we still have a couple of weeks before the big game.
The biggest game of the NFL and most watched television program of the year — even if it may only be for the commercials and half-time show for some of us — will soon be upon us. Last year's game drew an estimated audience of 200 million people, roughly 60% of the United States, setting a viewership record.
Sunday's games gave us the two contenders for Super 58. The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will go head to head for the Super Bowl championship in 2024.
The Chiefs had some good karma in the stands as well. Taylor Swift was in the stands to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce on Sunday. It's the singer's 12th NFL appearance, will she make it 13 (which just so happens to be her lucky number) with the Super Bowl?
We have some trivia and tasty facts to tide you over until then.
Which teams are playing in Super Bowl 2024?
This year's Super Bowl is the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the San Fransico 49ers after the Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
When is the Super Bowl 2024?
This year, the Super Bowl is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

What Super Bowl is it?
Super Bowl 58 is also referred to as "Super Bowl LVIII." In roman numerals, the "L" means 50, the "V" stands for five and "III" (of course), means "three." Added together they make 58.
Will Taylor Swift be at the Super Bowl?
After the Chiefs secured their place at Super Bowl 58, there was speculation if Swift would be able to make it to the game due to her Eras Tour schedule. She kicks off the 2024 leg of the tour in Tokyo Feb 7-10.
Her concert ends, conservatively, at 11 p.m. Saturday night, Feb. 10, which is 6 a.m. Saturday morning in Las Vegas. With the game starting at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time and the fastest someone could fly commercially from Tokyo to Las Vegas would be under 13 hours, according to Google. Even with T-Swift's money and a private jet, it would be cutting it awfully close.
When was the last time the Tennessee Titans were in a Super Bowl?
Since the Titans are already out of the running for Super Bowl 58, it is safe to say it has been 24 years since the team has been in a Super Bowl.
In 2000, the Titans went head to head with the Rams and ended up losing 23-16. It is the only Super Bowl that the Titans have played in.
