He pondered, "There are so many big questions about the Super Bowl — can the 49ers contain Patrick Mahomes? Can the Chiefs stop Christian McAfree?" Fallon continued, "And the one that most people care about, can Taylor Swift make it there, because she has a concert in Japan the day before?"

Certainly, the pop star's tight schedule, with a narrow window to fly from Tokyo, where she is slated to perform as part of the Eras Tour on February 10, to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl starting at 6.30 pm ET on February 11, has been a topic of extensive discussion.

Fans are also anticipating more heartwarming moments between Swift and Travis Kelce at the significant event, especially after the couple's widely talked-about on-field kiss following the Chiefs' victory in the AFC Championship game on January 28.

“You got the Super Bowl and you got Taylor Swift,” Fallon said and continued, “Ratings are gonna be higher than Snoop Dogg at a Willie Nelson concert.”

Jimmy Fallon joins the hilarious 'Swiftie Bowl' craze

The comedian proceeded to share a montage of various broadcast journalists discussing the "Swiftie Bowl," featuring one clip of an anchor mentioning that the upcoming game would mark Swift's 13th time attending a Chiefs match this season (assuming she makes it).

Additionally, the date of the game, when added together (2 + 11), equals 13, which happens to be Swift’s lucky number.

Fallon humorously remarked, "And this marks our 97th Taylor story today. So, nine plus seven equals 16, which just happens to be the number of tracks on her Folklore album!"

Following this quip, Fallon presented a satirical CBS Super Bowl commercial, where a narrator facetiously declared, "It's Chiefs vs. 'Who gives a s–t?'".

The mock ad continued with the humorous inquiries, "All I wanna know is, will mother make it in from Tokyo on time? Will Tay Tay and Travis kiss on the 50-yard line?"
