Taylor Swift made a speedy getaway from LAX Saturday evening after the popstar completed the first stage of her mad dash to reunite with boyfriend Travis Kelce at Super Bowl LVIII.
The songstress touched down in Los Angeles following an eight-hour flight from Tokyo, arriving to a media and fan frenzy and high police presence at the airport.
The global superstar attempted to maintain a low profile as she deplaned from the private jet bearing the call sign ‘The Football Era’ that was tracked by over 32,000 people and immediately escaped the airport to head to her LA home – one of her many properties
A fleet of SUVs was pulled up next to the hangar at the airport’s private terminal to whisk the 34-year-old away and she was seen hurrying to the waiting vehicles, shielded by an umbrella in new footage.
The singer hid herself from the circus of fans and media who had gathered at the airport for her arrival, before slipping into the vehicle.

Swift hid from the media and fan frenzy that awaited her at the end of her nine-hour flight.
Swift, who appeared to be wearing black sneakers and tracksuit pants, managed to keep her face hidden as she made her getaway.
There was an unprecedented police presence at the terminal with several police vehicles parked outside as Swift’s motorcade of SUVs escorted her away from the airport.
A curtain could be seen dividing the front seats from the rear of one of the vehicles with Swift seemingly hiding from the circus outside.
The pop superstar was zipped off to her Beverly Hills mansion where she hunkered down for the night.
After seeking refuge in home comforts for one night, Swift is expected to complete the remaining 300 miles of her journey to Las Vegas for the big game Sunday morning.
Despite leaving Japan at 9.30pm Saturday night, the music megastar arrived in LA earlier than when she left – touching down at 3.35pm on Saturday afternoon thanks to the time difference.
Swift made the dash back from Japan following a busy week that took in four sold out performances at the Tokyo Dome – the final one on Saturday night.
The pop billionaire is also fresh from winning a record-breaking fourth ‘album of the year’ Grammy – handed out at a glitzy ceremony in LA while Kelce, 34, was arriving in Las Vegas ahead of the Super Bowl.
While Swift was in Japan, the musclebound 34-year-old has been training hard and brushed off questions about proposing to the singer after the game – telling reporters that he is concentrating on getting ‘this ring’ [the Super Bowl winner’s ring].
He also joked with brother Jason, 36, on their New Heights podcast about how expensive being in Vegas is, saying: ‘I’m not really doing much different other than just counting how much money I’m spending on this damn Super Bowl for family and friends to come.’
Kelce’s parents have already arrived in Las Vegas and are staying at the Strip’s glitzy Resort World hotel, with Donna, 71, seen there Thursday morning.
Jason, meanwhile, has checked into the Aria and was photographed playing blackjack in the casino and at a U2 gig at the Sphere. On Friday, he took wife Kylie, 31, to watch Adele at the Cosmopolitan where he was heard shouting ‘Eagles!’ during a break in the show.
The British singer quipped back: ‘What did you say? You sound drunk and like a football fan!’
Both the Swift and Kelce families are expected in Vegas on game day, with reports saying Kelce has splashed out on a $1m suite.
Kelce was last seen with his megastar girlfriend in Baltimore two weeks ago with the pair making headlines due to a very public display of affection following the Kansas City Chiefs triumph over the Baltimore Ravens.
Swift has attended multiple Chiefs games since going public with Kelce in September and was seen cheering her man on during the game, new pal Brittany Mahomes at her side.
