A Chair Taylor Swift Sat On ONCE Was Sold For $7,000

For that money, you could easily acquire an authentic Eames lounge chair and ottoman, but OK.

A Chair Taylor Swift Sat On ONCE Was Sold For $7,000

After Taylor Swift and fiancé Travis Kelce attended Game 3 of the Knicks vs. Cavaliers Eastern Conference Finals, their courtside seats were put up for auction on the sports memorabilia site The Realest in partnership with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their butt prints were authenticated and listed on the site to fight for the disposable income of the highest bidder. 

It was a fierce bidding war, but as of Sunday, the top bidder was awarded Swift’s seat for $7,000, because some people have no better way to spend seven grand. And just so we’re clear—The amount of basketball played: 48 minutes. Approximate time Taylor sat in the chair: 2.5 hours. Price paid for the chair: $7,000. 

At this point I’m sure Swift isn’t phased, but if it were me I would be forever disturbed that someone would pay seven grand for the seat my butt was in for a few hours. This is genuinely weird. What are they going to do? Sit on it? Or something more sinister…For that money, you could easily acquire an authentic Eames lounge chair and ottoman, but wrong of me to assume this is a question of taste.

Other celebrities’ butt imprints also sold at auction, but for a fraction less. For comparison, the chair Kelce’s butt was in sold at $1,405. Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner also attended this game, and the chairs their butts were in auctioned for $1,200 (Chalamet) and $1,500 (Jenner). Hear me out, but what if we just kept the chairs in their courtside spots where they belonged and allowed other butts to sit in them?

No charity beneficiary was announced for this auction, so I can’t even argue that the money is going to a “good cause.” After taking a scroll along The Realest, I am now discovering that you can auction off just about anything remotely related to the world of sports. I guess I’m the fool for not knowing there was a big Grand Slam of Curling memorabilia market. You can also bid on 2026 PBR Rookie of the Year bull rider Marco Rizzo’s dirty ass glove, and it’s currently at $1200.

It’s just a dirty ass glove. And the chairs are just uncomfortable fold-up chairs from a game that the Cavs lost. Wouldn’t you rather spend your thousands of dollars on the experience of the actual game, rather than live vicariously through the butt of another? 

To the person or persons who forked over thousands to buy Taylor’s chair: I think you have too much money. At the same time, I could also use $7,000. I don’t have a courtside chair from the NBA finals, but how about a plate I ate spaghetti off of?
