Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are spending a date night courtside at the NBA conference finals.
On Saturday, May 23, the engaged couple was photographed sitting in the front row at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Cavaliers take on the New York Knicks in game three of the NBA Eastern Conference finals.

For their night out near Kelce's hometown, Swift, 36, wore a black, silver-trimmed tank top with a black jacket that featured a blue design on the back, along with a pair of baggy blue jeans. She left her blonde hair down and wore a glam-yet-casual makeup look, and accessorized with a small black purse and a pair of heels.
Kelce, also 36, sported a similarly casual look, wearing jeans, a short-sleeved denim button-down over a white T-shirt, white sneakers and a backwards Cavs hat to show his support for his hometown team.
Video footage shared on social media showed fans cheering as the couple walked down the court before the start of the game to take their seats, and Kelce took a moment to pump up the Cavs supporters. The pair were handed a stuffed plushie as a gift from the team and fans.
By halftime, the Knicks were up 60-54.

Swift and Kelce, who have been linked since 2023, announced their engagement via a joint Instagram post on Aug. 26 last year.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” Swift wrote at the time, nodding to the duo's fan-favorite “TNT” nickname.

The pair have since kept their wedding plans tightly under wraps.
A source told PEOPLE in September that the pop star and the tight end “want to keep it more private” when they tie the knot. “It will definitely be a private affair and not a spectacle,” the source said. “They both have a close circle of friends, and they’ll respect their privacy.”

On May 11, Swift joined her parents and her brother for dinner in the West Village. For the occasion, the Grammy winner wore a strappy black mini-dress with silver heels.
PEOPLE previously reported that Swift and Kelce traveled to Greece together this month to attend Kansas City Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis’ wedding festivities.
Before jetting off to Greece, they enjoyed a series of outings in London, including a theater date night to see Romeo & Juliet at the Harold Pinter Theatre starring Noah Jupe and Sadie Sink, who previously collaborated with Swift on All Too Well: The Short Film.
