    Through mass/energy equivalence, E=mc2. Energy distorts spacetime the same as its equivalent rest mass.

      To clarify, energy isn’t a “thing” that exists. It’s a property of matter, and so is mass.

      So spacetime are only related in that matter exists in spacetime, and can influence it in ways we don’t (or at least I don’t,) really understand.

        Energy is not only a property of matter. Photons have energy, no mass, and are not matter but in fact force carrier particles.
