Travis Kelce explains absence from Knicks' Finals game with Taylor Swift
Summary

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce revealed he could not attend the New York Knicks' NBA Finals game with Taylor Swift due to offseason mini-camp commitments. While Swift attended Game 4 of the Finals, Kelce was focused on training. He did, however, experience a larger moment at Madison Square Garden, as he and Swift held their wedding there shortly after the Knicks won their first title in 53 years. Kelce and Swift did attend a prior playoff game together during the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland.
