Life of A Basketball Fan: Taylor Swift attends Cavs-Knicks in Cleveland with
fiance Travis Kelce

CLEVELAND (AP) --- Turns out, Taylor Swift likes basketball, too.
The global music superstar sat courtside at Game 3 of the Eastern Conference
finals on Saturday night along with fiance and Cleveland native Travis Kelce as
the Cavaliers hosted the New York Knicks desperately needing a win in the
series.
Swift and Kelce, who recently signed a 3-year, $54 million contract with the
Kansas City Chiefs, took their seats in Rocket Arena shortly before the opening
tip. Their appearance caused a stir as fans reacted to seeing the power couple
together.
Kelce didn't need long to settle in and was animated while cheering for the
Cavs.
With the Cavs trailing 91-82 at the end of the third quarter, Kelce and Swift
were shown on the arena's giant scoreboard. Fans cheered wildly as Kelce showed
off his team cap and wine-and-gold shirt before chugging a beer to help rally
the Cavs.
As Kelce gulped down his beverage, Swift covered her mouth and feigned shock
and embarrassment.
Swift became a staple at Chiefs home games when she began dating Kelce a few
years ago. She also accompanied him to Game 1 of the AL Championship Series at
Yankee Stadium in 2024.
Kelce has attended Cavs games in the past and he and his brother, Jason, were
celebrated with a bobblehead giveaway by Cleveland in 2024.
The couple announced their engagement last year and there are reports they'll
get married sometime this summer.
The Knicks have a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series after winning twice at
Madison Square Garden.
