Travis Kelce Speaks on Date Night With Taylor Swift at NBA Playoff Game

Travis Kelce and his fiancée, pop superstar Taylor Swift, are set to get married on July 3 and recently had a viral date night together over the weekend.

Kelce, a Cleveland native, sat courtside alongside Swift during the Cleveland Cavaliers playoff game against the New York Knicks.

As expected, cameras repeatedly showed the pair throughout the contest, and Kelce even got up at one point and chugged a beer in an attempt to hype up the Cleveland crowd.

Kelce spoke about the date night with Swift during Wednesday's latest episode of his New Heights podcast alongside his brother, Jason Kelce.

"Not a lot of teams have been able to get Taylor to wear a jersey, and the Knicks did … Tay's got a lot of New York ties so when it came down to going to the Cavs game, she was kinda like, ‘Oh nice, they're playing the Knicks, like sweet! I've seen them play before,'" Kelce said.

Kelce mentioned that he enjoys introducing Swift to more of the sports world during their relationship, whether that be football and baseball games, tennis matches, or now an NBA playoff game.

"I love bringing her into the sports that I appreciate,” he added. “That's why you've seen us at the US Open tennis matches, baseball games and the Guards vs. the Yanks two years ago … I just enjoy bringing her to experience a lot of the fun that I've always known to have."
