Travis Kelce is already thinking of his next date night with Taylor Swift — and it involves a little help from Ben Stiller.
While speaking to both Travis and Jason Kelce and the brothers’ Wednesday, March 19, episode of their New Heights podcast, the actor-director — who is a die-hard New York Knicks fan — recalled spending time with Swift, 35, at a Knicks game back in 2014.

“I was there with my son, [Quinlin],” the 59-year-old Meets the Parents star — who shares both of his children with wife Christine Taylor — told the NFL icons, adding that he and Quinlin “FaceTimed my daughter, [Ella], who is a huge Swiftie.”
“We had the best time,” Stiller gushed, calling the 14-time Grammy winner “incredible.”
Travis, who has been dating Swift since late summer 2023, teased, “Maybe we can get Taylor to another Knicks game.”
Stiller, for his part, immediately chimed in to help make it happen, telling the Kansas City Chiefs tight end that he could “hook that up” for them, while joking they wouldn’t need his assistance.
Jason, however, was down for the hookup from the Severance director. “I need help,” he quipped.
Swift and Stiller did indeed sit next to each other at the Knicks’ October 2024 matchup against the Chicago Bulls, which was held at the Knicks’ home court at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The “Guilty as Sin?” singer — whose 1989 album had just come out several days prior — attended the event with her then-best friend Karlie Kloss. The friends entered the arena holding hands and wearing matching black tops.
As Travis plans a Knicks night with Swift, fans are well aware that the couple have enjoyed their fair share of sporting events together. In September 2024, they attended the U.S. Open with Travis’ Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes. Swift, of course, has also gone to as many Chiefs game as she possibly can — attending every home game at Arrowhead Stadium last season — in order to support Travis on the field.
Travis has also returned the favor, traveling all across the world to watch Swift on her Eras Tour, even joining her in a surprise appearance that just won the couple their first-ever joint award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
