Taylor Swift spent a chilly afternoon in the Bronx to watch the New York Yankees in the postseason and enjoyed a fireworks display in the form of a Juan Soto solo.
Swift was spotted in the Yankee Stadium hospitality suites with her boyfriend Travis Kelce for the American League Championship Series (ALCS) opener against the Cleveland Guardians on Monday night.
As temperatures dropped to the mid-40s, the game began to heat up when Soto hit a home run over the right-center field 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 and celebrated, giving the home fans something to cheer about.
Swift joined in the celebration, looking stunned after the ball left the field as she turned towards her man to enjoy the moment.

The famous lovebirds enjoyed a romantic weekend in New York, visiting the city with the signee’s best friend, Blake Lively, and her husband Ryan Reynolds for a double date.
The A-list quartet was spotted arriving at the popular The Corner Store in New York City’s Soho neighborhood on Friday night.
Some fans praised all four stars for their outfits, but Kelce received the most criticism for his handlebar mustache and flowing hair.
Kelce was later brutally mocked on social media when fans compared his appearance to Anchorman’s Ron Burgundy.
Others said he looked like another Will Ferrell character, Ricky Bobby from Talladega Nights, and some even claimed his mustache was reminiscent of adult film stars from the ’70s and ’80s.
Kelce and Swift continued the foursome’s night on the town with some alone time on their own date night on Saturday.

The loved-up couple has been spending the Chiefs star’s bye week in New York together.
Their series of date nights in New York City also comes two weeks after they survived the supposed breakup date of a leaked ‘contract’ several weeks ago.
The contract is widely believed to be fake, and Kelce’s team was quick to call it “completely false and made up,” but claimed that the duo were set to announce their split on September 28.
The breakup date stipulated in the supposed contract has now passed without much fanfare, and without news of a breakup.
Swift has since been seen at some of Kelce’s games and has proven that their romance is still going strong despite the divided speculation.
The pair also put on a PDA-filled display in the US Open men’s final at Flushing Meadows last month.
Swift and Kelce couldn’t keep their hands off each other and the pop star even serenaded her boyfriend with a rendition of Darkness’ ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love.’
Tonight, however, Swift and Kelce are apparently swapping Queens for the Bronx as they look to enjoy more of the sports scene that New York has to offer.
After failing to make the postseason a year ago, the Yankees advanced to the American League Championship Series for the second time in three seasons and the fourth time since 2017.
