Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, sat courtside at Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday night (23 May) as the Cavaliers hosted the New York Knicks.
The pair took their seats in Cleveland’s Rocket Arena shortly before the opening tip, and fans were quick to share their elation on social media, seeing the couple out and about.
The ‘Love Story’ singer was decked out head-to-toe in Stella McCartney, donning a patchwork denim jacket, chain-detail tank top, and blue jeans, along with some heeled sandals and a Dior Cigale bag.
Meanwhile, Kelce rocked up in a double denim ensemble and kitted out in Cleveland Cavaliers merch.
However, many were distracted by one particularly ‘uncomfortable’ detail they noticed during the date, which was none other than the size of the courtside seats.
Many pointed out how Taylor and Travis, who are 5ft10 and 6ft5 respectively, could barely sit comfortably in their seats with their legs awkwardly folded up below them.
One X user penned: “LeBron fan for more than 1½ a decade, and I think Cavs courtside seats are perfectly fine until Taylor Swift sat on it.
“Now I… the word needs to know why that d*mn chair looks so low and uncomfortable!?”
“They’re both so tall, those chairs don’t look big enough haha,” quipped a second, as a third chimed in: “They’re fighting for their lives on these low chairs.”
A fourth chirped: “Too tall for those tiny courtside seats, looks like they’re having a blast though.”
“I forget how tall both of them are,” confessed a fifth as another echoed: “The seats are so small, like look at Taylor’s legs.”
Travis, who grew up in Cleveland Heights, looked fully invested from the opening tip, reacting to big moments and backing the Cavs from his courtside seat.
One of the evening’s standout moments came in the third quarter.
With Cleveland down 91-82, Taylor and Travis appeared on the arena video board, sparking a huge reaction from the crowd.
Dressed in Cavaliers colours and a team cap, Travis raised his beer and downed it, while Taylor laughed and covered her mouth as fans roared around them.
“A woman who lets her man do him!! They’ll be together for a while,” gushed one fan.
A second beamed: “She is absolutely glowing every time they put him on the big screen.”
“Travis Kelce saw himself on the Jumbotron and turned into a frat boy immediately. Taylor trying so hard not to laugh,” commented a third and a final fan added: “He really treats every single Jumbotron appearance like it’s a 4th quarter touchdown celebration.
“The man’s energy is unmatched.”
