Ben Stiller reveals 'incredible' thing Taylor Swift did for him at NBA game as Travis Kelce made offer to repay it

Ben Stiller has revealed the "incredible" thing Taylor Swift did when he was sat alongside her at an NBA game.

The acting legend is a huge New York Knicks fan and makes a point of clearing out his schedule so that he can attend games.

Back in 2014, he was sat courtside with Swift and Karlie Kloss for the clash with Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden.

Stiller was accompanied by his son Quinlan but with his daughter Ella being a huge fan of Swift, he proceeded to FaceTime her and she enjoyed a conversation with the popstar.

Over a decade later and Stiller showered Swift with praise on the New Heights podcast hosted by her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce and brother Jason.

"By the way, I went to a Knicks game with Taylor," Stiller said.

"She was there, this was, like, 10 years ago, and I was there with my son and she literally, we FaceTimed my daughter who's a huge Swiftie, she's 23 now. And we had the best time. She was incredible."

Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce was incredibly grateful for the kind words and wondered if it would be possible for Swift to experience another Knicks game in the future.

The three-time Super Bowl winner replied: "I appreciate that. I think the same thing, so it's perfect. Maybe we can get Taylor to another Knicks game."

Stiller, 59, was confident that he would be able to make it happen but acknowledged that because of their status as a power couple, they might need an increase security presence.

He explained: "Yeah, this is the time. You should definitely come though. I can hook that up. I'm sure you would need help getting in."

It comes after Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson expressed his gratitude to Swift for arranging concert tickets for a good friend of his mine when the WWE legend made a couple of calls.

Swift and Kelce's non-negotiable rules in public

Because of the attention they receive, it is a non-negotiable rule that Swift and Kelce request to dine in a private room whenever they eat out at a restaurant, as well as asking that the workers refrain from interacting with them or asking for photos to avoid drawing attention.

Although seen together at Chiefs games and Eras gigs since they confirmed they were dating, the couple are yet to take their relationship to the next level in terms of publicity as they have not yet attended the red carpet together.

Some believe they could make their eagerly anticipated debut at the Met Gala in May.
