CLEVELAND (WJW) \u2014 How much is a chair worth to you?<\/p>\n

What if it was the courtside chair Taylor Swift<\/a> sat in when she showed up unannounced to a Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> game last month?<\/p>\n

\u00a0Simone Biles recovering from health scare she described as ‘scariest experience’ of her life\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The superstar sent Cleveland into a bit of a tizzy when she strolled into Rocket Arena May 23<\/a> with her soon-to-be husband and Cleveland Heights native Travis Kelce to watch the Cavs take on the New York Knicks in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.<\/p>\n

Now, that same chair has been listed for auction through the Realest, a company the Cavaliers teamed up with this season<\/a> to provide fans the opportunity to own fully-authenticated pieces of Cavaliers history.<\/p>\n

“Used courtside during Eastern Conference Finals Game 3 at Rocket Arena, this chair was occupied by one of the biggest music artists in the world and a 14-time Grammy Award winner during one of the most widely followed games of the 2026 NBA Playoffs,” the listing description reads.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday afternoon, there have been 31 bids on the chair, according to the Realest. The current bid is $3,000. Travis’ chair is also up for auction. The current bid as of Sunday is $500.<\/p>\n
