After Taylor Swift joined boyfriend Travis Kelce courtside for the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland, fans of the New York Knicks believe they know where the pop idol's loyalties truly lie. Swift sat next to Kelce, a Cleveland native and longtime Cavaliers fan, for the game on Saturday evening.
Swift's Courtside Presence Sparks Debate
As Kelce chugged beers and screamed at the crowd to pump them up, Swift enjoyed herself and was seen planting a kiss on her man during the game. But this was enough to send Knicks Twitter into meltdown, considering Swift has a long history of supporting the team.
No Cavs Colors, but Past Allegiance
While Swift did not wear any colors indicating her affiliation for the Cavaliers—opting instead for a black top and jacket, as well as blue jeans—Knicks fans reminded Swifties of her past allegiance. Social media was flooded with pictures of Swift in Knicks gear, as well as images of her sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden to watch games.
One user on X wrote: 'As a Knicks fan, I choose to look at it as Taylor Swift got to witness playoff Jalen Brunson in person.' Another comment read: 'So was Taylor Swift rooting for the Knicks or the Cavs? Remember when she used to attend every Knicks game?'
'Don't tell Travis where Taylor's allegiance is,' said another user. 'Once a Knick, always a Knick.' A happy Knicks fan posted: 'Swifties are mad tonight and the Knicks are celebrating the right way! Taylor made!!!!'
Knicks Win Game 3
If Swift was indeed rooting for the Knicks, then she went home happy after New York won Game 3. The Knicks are now a game away from returning to the NBA Finals for the first time in 27 years after beating the Cavs 121-108.
