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.
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.
