Is Taylor Swift at the Yankees-Guardians game today?

Taylor Swift is no stranger to the spotlight, having attended numerous high-profile sporting events, including the Super Bowl and the US Open final. Now, she might be adding playoff baseball to her impressive resume.

The New York Yankees are set to face the Cleveland Guardians in the 2024 American League Championship Series (ALCS), starting Monday night in the Bronx. Both teams earned byes as the top two seeds in the American League. The Yankees dispatched the Royals in four games, while the Guardians took down the Tigers in five games.

Yankee Stadium is known for attracting celebrities, and there’s a buzz that two of the biggest names in sports, Swift and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, might be in attendance for Game 1 of the ALCS.

 

Are Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at the Game?

Yankees manager Aaron Boone hinted at the possibility of Swift and Kelce being at the game. Boone mentioned he had heard that the couple would be joining the festivities at Yankee Stadium. Following Boone’s comment, Yes Network reporter Bryan Hoch confirmed that Swift and Kelce were indeed at the game, along with HBO star Jerrod Carmichael.

Welcome to New York, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce! ⚾️

While neither Swift nor Kelce are die-hard Yankees fans, both have connections to baseball. If football hadn’t worked out for Kelce, he might have turned to baseball, as he was quite a standout player in high school. Swift also has a history with the sport; she performed the National Anthem at the World Series in 2008 when the Philadelphia Phillies faced the Tampa Bay Rays at Citizens Bank Park.

Swift is currently on a break from her tour, with her next concert scheduled for October 18 in Miami, where she’ll perform three shows. Kelce, on the other hand, had the weekend off as the Chiefs enjoyed a bye in Week 6. The Chiefs are currently undefeated, sitting at 5-0, with Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes leading the charge into Week 7.

As the game unfolds, fans are excited to see how this star-studded attendance might influence the atmosphere at Yankee Stadium!
