Last night, Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals took place, with the Cleveland Cavaliers hosting the New York Knicks at Ohio’s Rocket Arena. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce showed up for the important game, supporting Kelce’s hometown team. They took some style cues from frequent courtside couple Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.
Both Swift and Kelce went for denim-heavy looks. The pop star wore a full Stella McCartney outfit: faded, high-waisted wide-leg jeans, a patchwork denim bomber jacket, and a ribbed vest top with chain details from the recent H&M collaboration. She paired it with Stella McCartney Elsa patent buckle heeled sandals, a Dior Cigale bag, a Tiffany & Co. diamond wire ring, a Jacquie Aiche large marquise diamond pave signet ring, and, of course, her Kindred Lubeck of Artifex old mine brilliant cut diamond engagement ring.
Kelce, sitting beside her and reacting excitedly to the Cavaliers’ ups and downs, went for a full Canadian tuxedo from the couple’s favorite brand, Louis Vuitton. He wore a short-sleeved denim shirt with an oversized logo on the pocket and slim-fit denim pants, styled with Nike LeBron 7 MVP sneakers, a Mitchell and Ness x Just Don Cleveland Cavaliers cap, a Cartier Skeleton watch, and a Love Unlimited bracelet.
While these outfits fit right in with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s usual style, they had the same casual, low-key vibe as Knicks fans Kylie and Timmy. Denim is a common ground for everyone: Taylor’s look was relaxed and tailored, Travis’s was logo-heavy, Kylie’s was low-rise, and Timmy’s had a skater-kid-grown-up feel.
When the Kansas City Chiefs player is on the field, Swift often wears the team’s colors. Her approach to dressing as an NFL WAG mixes merch with big brands, blending sporty style with more fashion-forward pieces.
The couple was spotted during the first quarter of the game. Announcer Mike Breen acknowledged them, saying, “Travis Kelce and his fiancée here at the game,” while analyst Richard Jefferson added, “Travis and his girlfriend are in the building, that’s always great to see.” (Some might say it’s a strange way to describe one of the world’s biggest pop stars, even in an arena.)
Swift and Kelce have been stepping up their date nights and public appearances lately, with trips to London and several friends’ weddings in Brooklyn’s Bushwick and even Greece, the latter for one of Kelce’s teammates. Their own wedding is rumored to be coming soon. Notably, Swift has been wearing a lot of Stella McCartney—could this be a hint at what’s to come on her big day?
