Taylor Swift’s private jet has made an interesting detour leaving fans wondering puzzled about why it was not immediately returning back to Sydney as hoped.

The plane, which the Karma songstress charters, left Sydney on Tuesday morning for Honolulu, leading to wild speculation it could be making the round trip to pick up her boyfriend NFL star Travis Kelce.

But instead, the plane appears to be heading to Seoul in South Korea instead.

It is not known who is on board the jet or who it could potentially be picking up in Honolulu.

More than 1500 people were watching the live FlightRadar24 tracker on Wednesday morning as it took off from the US state.

Kelce hinted at visiting the superstar Down Under in his podcast “New Heights” last week, saying he would “venture to an island real soon”.

He also said he would not be appearing on this week’s episode alongside his brother Jason Kelce, leading fans to speculate that he would be in Australia and unable to record the show.

Speaking live with Today on Tuesday morning, Travis’ dad Ed Kelce said he heard the rumours his son was going to travel south to visit Swift on her Australian tour.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he does,” he told the morning show hosts.

“I actually called him a little while ago and my understanding is he’s on a golf course someplace right now.

“He plays a lot of golf, but it’s mostly in these charity events and I think that’s what he’s wrapped up [with] now.”

Kelce was spotted on Sunday playing virtual golf with friends in Parkville, Missouri - not far from Kansas.

The Cruel Summer singer arrived in Sydney on Monday, after finishing her Melbourne leg of her tour.

She was spotted getting on the plane wearing her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Chiefs Super Bowl Champions hat, as well as a red top and shorts.

She arrived in Sydney just before 1.30pm, after only a roughly 20-minute delay.

The delay was caused by thunderstorms and lighting strikes in the area.

Multiple other domestic flights were delayed.

Swift’s jet pulled into a hangar in the airport, so that she could leave the plane to privately go to her hotel in the city.

After landing, she joined a convoy of cars where she is believed to have been taken to a penthouse at Crown in Barangaroo.
