Taylor Swift was among the high-profile celebrities celebrating late into the night after the New York Knicks pulled off a dramatic 107–106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, a win widely described as one of the greatest comebacks in Finals history.
Video footage showed the global pop superstar jumping and cheering courtside with actress Mariska Hargitay moments after the final buzzer at Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks secured a commanding 3–1 lead in the series. In another clip circulating online, Swift was seen chanting and celebrating with fans as they exited the arena.
The Knicks will now face the Spurs in Game 5 on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
“She’s a huge fan of the Knicks and really wants to be there to support them,” an insider told The Post, noting Swift’s continued connection to the New York-based franchise.
The “Lover” hitmaker’s appearance also marked a return to her well-known support for the Knicks after recent attention surrounding her attendance at a Cleveland Cavaliers game alongside her fiancé, NFL star Travis Kelce.
Kelce later addressed the public reaction on his New Heights podcast, clarifying that his attendance at the Cavaliers game was simply a casual outing.
“This was me just having a fun date night knowing that I love going to basketball games,” Kelce said, adding that he had previously hoped to attend a Knicks game in New York.
Despite the Cavaliers’ loss, Kelce said he would now be “rooting for the Knicks from here on out.”
Swift, who has long been associated with New York sports culture since purchasing a Tribeca property in 2014, has attended multiple Knicks games over the years alongside celebrities including Karlie Kloss, Justin Long, Amanda Seyfried, and Jimmy Fallon.
