Pop star Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made an appearance at Yankee Stadium on Monday night to watch Game 1 of the American League Championship Series between the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Guardians. However, their presence was met with a more subdued response than usual.
Swift and Kelce have been dating for over a year and have a history of attending sporting events together. They are often photographed and followed by a throng of fans and media, but on Monday night, they were able to blend in with the crowd.

The couple was seated in a suite with friends and did not appear to attract much attention from other attendees. Swift wore a heavy coat but did not show preference towards either team. Kelce, who is from the Cleveland area, also did not wear a Guardians jersey.
MLb.com first reported that Swift and Kelce would be attending the game, but the cameras were not present to follow them around. This was in stark contrast to their previous stadium appearances, which have often been met with a frenzy of media attention.

Some observers speculated that the muted fanfare may have been due to the fact that the Yankees were not playing well. The team lost the game to the Guardians 6-2. Additionally, it was a chilly October night in the Bronx, which may have dampened the crowd's enthusiasm.
Kelce, who is on a bye week, will likely have one more night with Swift before he heads back to Kansas City to prepare for the Chiefs' Week 7 matchup on the road against the San Francisco 49ers, a rematch of Super Bowl LVIII. Swift will also have a busy week, as her Eras Tour begins again on Friday in Miami.
