Taylor Swift’s courtside chair from Knicks game receives $6,000 bid in auction
The chair Taylor Swift used during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks has been put up for auction.
Per a listing on The Realest, bidding started at $100 and has climbed to $6,000 after 38 bids as of Sunday. The auction closes on June 14, according to the site.
“As one of the most recognized and influential artists of her generation, the occupant of this chair has earned worldwide acclaim through a career defined by commercial success, critical recognition, and multiple Grammy Award victories,” the listing states. “Her attendance reflects the cultural reach of the NBA Playoffs and the significance of the Eastern Conference Finals as one of the most visible events in sports.”
The seat is branded with the Cavaliers logo and comes with armrests plus a cup holder. The listing notes that an authenticator was on site to verify Swift’s use of the chair that night. The chair carries a gold OVD for verification.
The listing describes the chair as a tangible piece of postseason history. Taylor Swift’s connection strengthens its background. It represents the atmosphere of the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals. Additionally, the sale highlights the Cavaliers’ mix of basketball and celebrity culture.
Swift and her fiancé, Travis Kelce, the Chiefs star and Ohio native, attended the May 23 game at Rocket Arena. Kelce’s seat is also on the auction block, with bidding at $525 after 30 bids as of Sunday, June 7.
The Cleveland Cavaliers’ postseason went sideways after that night. They fell 121-108 in the game the couple watched from courtside. From there, the team dropped the next games too and was swept out of the series.
