The Kansas City Chiefs won their playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 on Sunday and will play the winner of Sunday's NFC championship game during Super Bowl LVIII on February 11.
In preparation for the big game in February, American Airlines announced new flights between Kansas City and Las Vegas between February 8 to 13.
Following the team's win, online sleuths noticed a flight number from Kansas City to Vegas named AA1989, a reference to "1989" — Swift's groundbreaking pop record named after her birth year.
"You could say that after tonight's games, we are in our football era, and we are thrilled to provide additional direct flights from Kansas City to Las Vegas.
