Taylor Swift, who’s been spotted sitting courtside at Knicks games in the past, showed her support for the New York team while wearing a “Stevie Knicks” tee alongside Alana and Este Haim when she arrived today at Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks are playing the San Antonio Spurs for the championship.
Swift was often seen at Knicks games in the mid-2010s. More recently, the singer and her football-playing fiancé, Travis Kelce, were spotted sitting courtside at the Eastern Conference Finals in May when the Knicks played the Cleveland Cavaliers.
“Not a lot of teams have been able to get Taylor to wear a jersey, and the Knicks did,” Kelce said on his New Heights podcast in May, according to Sportsnaut. “Tay’s got a lot of New York ties, so when it came down to like going to the Cavs game, she was kinda like, ‘Oh nice, they’re playing the Knicks, like, sweet! I’ve seen them play before.’” (Kelce, who has Ohio roots, was rooting for the Cavs.)

In 2014, she told Time that she was “totally” a Knicks fan after moving to New York. When the interview commented that they weren’t playing very well at the time, she shrugged it off. “I love them, though,” she said. “Why does that matter? … I’ve always had this sort of love of the Knicks, just because Amar’e [Stoudemire, who retired from the NBA in 2016] is so cool. And also I performed at the Knicks’ — at Madison Square Garden’s — Kids Talent Competition at halftime when I was 12 or 13. And ever since then I’ve had this kind of sparkly, magical opinion of Madison Square Garden and the Knicks, since they let me sing when I was a little kid.”
Swift, of course, has become well known as a sports enthusiast outside of basketball. Since she began dating Kelce, she has been a regular at Kansas City Chiefs games. The couple also attended the first game of the A.L. Championship Series at Yankee Stadium in 2024, according to The Associated Press.
Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Tina Fey, and Tracy Morgan, among others, have all been spotted at NBA Finals games in the past week. So has Donald Trump, who was booed.
