Watch video goes viral Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce both left speechless after watching Yankees star Juan Soto hit a home run
Taylor Swift spent a chilly evening in The Bronx to watch the New York Yankees in the postseason – and she was treated to a fireworks show in the form of a Juan Soto solo shot.
Swift was seen taking in the hospitality suites at Yankee Stadium with boyfriend Travis Kelce for the opening game of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday evening.
As the temperatures dipped into the mid-40s, the game began to heat up as Soto smacked a home run over the right-centerfield wall to give the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning.
Soto pointed to the sky as he rounded first base as he celebrated giving the home fans something to cheer for.
Swift joined in the celebration – looking stunned after the ball left the field as she turned to her man to take in the moment.

“The way she turned to him & he couldn’t even be mad,” one fan wrote.
“Yes girl. Celebrate the Yankees home run in front of your Cleveland born boyfriend,” another said.
“Her money’s on new york as it should be,” another added.
“WRONG TEAM TAYLOR,” another wrote.
The Yankees extended their lead later that inning – scoring two runs on wild pitches from Guardians hurler Joey Cantillo.
Yankees fans went home happy that night – with Aaron Judge hitting a sacrifice fly to bring in a run and Giancarlo Stanton tacking on a monster solo homer of his own to win Game 1 over Cleveland 5-2.
