American pop divaTaylor Swift (Taylor Swift) gets questioned for not being the real New Yorkhole Team fan! Knicks’ 25-year-old guard Tyler Kolek died on the 6thnba In a live broadcast on TikTok by 2K Games, Taylor Swift was named the “most fake celebrity fan” and believed that she only appeared during the NBA Finals and did not actually support the team. He acknowledged that these comments might have caused a reaction from Swifties: “I know I’ll be scolded.”
Kolek said during the live broadcast that except for Game 4 of the Finals between the Knicks and Spurs in June this year, he had not seen Taylor appear in other games. At the time, Taylor was sitting in the celebrity seats on the sidelines, watching the game with celebrities like the Haim sisters. During this period, Taylor stood and applauded the Knicks several times. However, Kolek believed that this attendance record was not enough to prove that she was a true fan.
Teammate and 26-year-old guard Deuce McBride also said he agreed with Kolek’s idea, but reminded the opponent: “Swifties aren’t going to like this answer.” Kolek admitted that he was aware that these comments would draw criticism, but still believed that Taylor Swift’s appearance was “a little pretentious”.
Kolek further explained that some A-list celebrities come to watch the games just so everyone can see themselves, and they may not actually be fans. He also said that he understands that Taylor Swift may have a lot of work to do and may not be able to attend every game.
However, Knicks immediately relieved Taylor’s cheek. “Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years and has a long-standing relationship with Madison Square Garden, and we are extremely grateful for her support of the team,” a team spokesperson said.
In fact, Taylor Swift caused discontent among some fans and celebrities when she attended the Knicks Finals this summer. Comedian Hank Azaria complained at the time that he had to sit too high in the venue, was unhappy with Swift getting courtside seats, and said he was tired of seeing her at sporting events. He said on the show: “I know she’s the most-watched person in the world, but when we watch the NFL we already have to see her with her fiancé Travis Kelce, and now she’s at Madison Square Garden, please!”
