Spoiler alert: Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is playing in the Super Bowl next month.
Ok, assuming today wasn’t the first time you got internet access, that’s probably not a spoiler. But you might be among those who are hand-wringing over exactly how the Queen of Pop could pull off getting to Las Vegas for the Big Game on February 11 when she has a concert in Tokyo the night before.

That would be Deputy White House Communications Director Sam Seaborn, Press Secretary C.J. Cregg, Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman and Communications Director Toby Ziegler.
