The New York Yankees seem to be fully embracing their “Taylor Swift era” after their Game 1 ALCS win against the Cleveland Guardians, where Swift and her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, were spotted in attendance. The couple enjoyed the game from a private suite at Yankee Stadium, and it didn’t take long for the team to cleverly reference Swift’s influence during the night.
In the third inning, Juan Soto hit a solo home run, sending the stadium into a frenzy. Swift, 34, was seen cheering in awe of the moment, while Kelce — a Cleveland native who has shown support for the Guardians in the past — shared a knowing smile with her, a moment that didn’t go unnoticed on the TBS broadcast. “Travis Kelce: ‘Wrong team, Taylor,’” the commentators quipped, adding to the playful dynamic between the couple.
The Yankees joined in on the fun, posting a celebratory photo of Soto on social media with the caption, “Feelin’ 22,” a reference to both Soto’s jersey number and Swift’s hit song “22” from her 2012 album Red.
The shout-out was a clever nod to the singer, whose presence at the game seemed to add to the electric atmosphere.

Throughout the night, Swift and Kelce, who began dating last summer, were seen holding hands, hugging, and enjoying each other’s company. One moment captured Swift sweetly wrapping her arms around Kelce and kissing his cheek, while another showed the singer snacking on popcorn and sipping a pink drink.
The couple’s affectionate moments were highlighted throughout the game, adding to the buzz both in the stadium and online.
Swift and Kelce’s outing came just days before the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour resumes. The 14-time Grammy winner will perform three sold-out shows at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium starting Friday, October 18, before the tour wraps up in Vancouver on December 8.
In another exciting announcement, Swift revealed just hours after the game that she will be releasing a coffee table-style book commemorating the Eras Tour. The book is set to hit shelves on November 29, adding yet another highlight to her busy fall schedule.
Some fans might say Swift brought good luck to the Yankees, who took Game 1 against the Guardians with a 5-2 victory. The team is now looking ahead to Game 2, which will take place on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
With Swift’s growing presence at major sporting events and her continued success with the Eras Tour, it seems both she and the Yankees are having a winning season.
