Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, is set to be honored with a bobblehead giveaway during the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Boston Celtics. The bobblehead features Travis and his brother, Jason, who is a retired player from the Philadelphia Eagles. Both brothers, who hail from Cleveland, have been long-time supporters of the Cavaliers.
The miniature Kelces in the bobblehead are dressed in blue Cavs jerseys, with Travis sporting his No. 87 and Jason in No. 62. This is a contrast to Travis being famously bare-chested while attending his brother's recent playoff game in Buffalo.
A spokesperson for the Cavs has confirmed that at least one of the Kelce brothers is expected to attend the game on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who has been a regular presence at Chiefs games and was present at their Super Bowl victory in Las Vegas, is currently on tour overseas, performing her hit song “Shake It Off” as part of her setlist.
Travis Kelce, who also played basketball in high school, has been a vocal supporter of all Cleveland teams and once harbored dreams of playing for the Browns. Last year, he threw the first pitch at a Guardians game, delivering a memorable toss that ended up bouncing to the backstop.
This event highlights the strong ties between sports and music, with Kelce's recognition by the Cavaliers showcasing the intersection of pop culture and sports fandom.
