Travis Kelce tried to hype up the losing Cavaliers crowd by chugging a beer — and even that didn’t work.
Shortly before the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 121-108 Game 3 win over the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals on Saturday night in Cleveland, the camera at Rocket Arena panned to Kelce downing a beer court side as the fans cheered him on.
Once finished with the beverage, Kelce, an Ohio native, pulled his coat to the side and revealed a Cavaliers shirt and flashed his corresponding team hat to the camera.
The camera then panned to his fiancee, pop superstar Taylor Swift, facepalming and shaking her head while her song “…Ready for it” played in the background.
“I don’t know if his girlfriend is going to like seeing him chugging beers like that,” commentator Richard Jefferson said during the ESPN on ABC broadcast.
Kelce’s stunt did not prove to help Cleveland in any way, who immediately gave up five points to start the fourth quarter.
The Knicks wound up rolling past the Cavaliers to go up 3-0 in the series. Game 4 is Monday night.
The Chiefs tight end was spotted sitting courtside with Swift earlier in Saturday’s game, with the broadcast panning to them midway through the first quarter.
The two are expected to get married in New York City in the coming weeks, with Page Six previously reporting the wedding will take place on July 3.
Despite buzz surrounding Kelce’s possible retirement from the NFL before this season, the 36-year-old confirmed in March that he will be suiting up for 2026, and later said how Swift served as a motivating factor for his return.
“We share the same love for what we do. Fortunately, we’ve had this desire since we were kids in our selective professions,” Kelce said during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” in March.
“It’s amazing to see her keep going to the table, keep finding new things to write about, keep finding new melodies and things like that, and on top of that, still seeing her have that love and joy in what she does, and yeah, of course, that’s motivating.
“That’s motivating for anyone to see, let alone my fiancée, and knowing that I’m going through something where I’m trying to figure out exactly what the future holds for me, something like that definitely motivates me to say, ‘You know what, I’m not done either,’” Kelce said.
