“Hook that up”: Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift receive special Knicks invitation from Hollywood megastar Ben Stiller

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and global music sensation Taylor Swift may soon be adding NBA courtside seats to their list of high-profile outings. With the NFL offseason in full swing, Kelce has plenty of time to explore other sports, and it looks like a special invitation from Hollywood megastar Ben Stiller could make a trip to Madison Square Garden a reality.

Athletes attending NBA games is nothing new, and Kelce, given his celebrity status, would have no trouble securing courtside seats. However, this time, the invite comes with a personal touch—from a passionate New York Knicks fan and award-winning actor-director himself, Ben Stiller.
During a guest appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, Stiller—who is known for hit films like Zoolander and the critically acclaimed TV series Severance—shared his enthusiasm for the Knicks and his past experiences watching games with Taylor Swift.
This prompted Kelce to suggest that it might be time for another visit. “Maybe we can get Taylor to another Knicks game,” Kelce said, hinting at a possible return to Madison Square Garden alongside Swift.

Never one to miss a comedic moment, Stiller responded with his signature wit, playfully joking about the idea of Kelce and Swift needing help getting into the venue. “Yeah, this is the time,” Stiller said. “You should definitely come though. I can hook that up. I’m sure you would need help getting in.”
A star-studded affair at Madison Square Garden
If Kelce and Swift accept the offer, their presence at Madison Square Garden will undoubtedly make waves. Swift’s influence on sports viewership has already been evident during the NFL season, with Chiefs games seeing a significant ratings boost whenever she was in attendance.
At a Knicks game, the energy would likely be no different. Just as Arrowhead Stadium erupts when she’s there supporting Kelce, MSG’s courtside crowd would be buzzing with excitement if Swift made an appearance.
