One of the nation's most prominent and influential couples shared the spotlight with baseball's postseason Monday night as the New York Yankees opened the American League Championship Series at home.

Major League Baseball posted video of pop juggernaut Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce, a tight end for the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, in the stands, after previously announcing they would be in attendance.

The Yankees are hosting the opening ALCS game against the Cleveland Guardians in a best-of-seven battle to determine which team heads to the World Series to face the winner of the National League Championship Series between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Swift and Kelce have become a mainstay of high-profile sporting events, particularly in New York City. Last month, the couple kept paparazzi busy with a trip to Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Italy's Jannik Sinner defeated American Taylor Fritz for the U.S. Open men's tennis championship.

Each member of the Swift-Kelce phenomenon has put in time supporting the other this year, with Kelce, 35, attending some of Swift's sold-out Eras Tour concerts around the world, including in Australia, and Swift, 34, supporting Kelce from the stands at the Chiefs' Super Bowl win in Las Vegas on Feb. 11.
