The New York Knicks are the hottest basketball team at the moment and, surprisingly, even Taylor Swift is part of the Knicks drama.
As the Knicks gear up to compete for their first NBA championship since 1973, a piece of playoff history involving the pop superstar has just been revealed.

The courtside seat that Taylor Swift sat in during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers has been listed for auction, according to ESPN.
Swift attended the game alongside her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
The chair is listed on The Realest auction platform and comes with a Gold OVD certificate, as an authenticator was present at Game 3 to verify Swift’s use of the seat. The listing, which doesn’t name her directly in the description, calls Swift “one of the most recognized and influential artists of her generation,” adding that “her attendance reflects the cultural reach of the NBA Playoffs and the significance of the Eastern Conference Finals as one of the most visible events in sports”.
The chair where Kelce sat during the game is also listed on the auction site. Chairs that were occupied by other celebrities, including Ben Stiller, Timothee Chalamet and his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner and Machine Gun Kelly, can also be purchased on the site, which is described as the official marketplace for authenticated Cavaliers memorabilia.

The drama with Swift’s seat has only heightened the buzz around the Knicks’ Championship run. New York has reached the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 and their opponent is the San Antonio Spurs. Interestingly, the Spurs is the same team that prevented the Knicks from making the Finals 27 years ago.
The series is already underway and Game 3 will be at Madison Square Garden on Monday, June 8, at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The arena will surely be buzzing and the Knicks will be keen to use their home advantage to secure a strong lead in the series.
If Swift somehow brings her fortune to MSG, the New York fans wouldn’t hesitate to offer her a courtside seat once again.
Adding to the spectacle, President Donald Trump has confirmed he plans to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
Trump, a self-described lifelong Knicks fan, accepted a personal invitation from team owner James Dolan. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump said, “The answer is yes — he’s invited me, I’m going”. MSG is expected to be the hottest ticket in America.
