Taylor Swift attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10, 2026, at Madison Square Garden, where she witnessed the New York Knicks stage the largest comeback in Finals history, overcoming a 29-point deficit to defeat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106.
Swift, 36, wore a shirt reading 'Stevie Knicks' and was joined by Alana Haim, Este Haim, and Mariska Hargitay. The Haim sisters also sported punny shirts: 'Knickelback' and 'Knickole Kidman.' Hargitay, who inspired the name of Swift's cat Olivia Benson, wore a similar 'Stevie Knicks' shirt.
The courtside area was packed with celebrities including Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Larry David, Tracy Morgan, Rainn Wilson, Jimmy Fallon, Jerry Seinfeld, and Kevin Jonas. After the win, Swift was seen hugging Kylie Jenner, sister of Swift's noted enemy Kim Kardashian, which fans called 'the crossover we didn't know we needed.'
ESPN's Monica McNutt questioned Swift's fandom, saying, 'Is that Taylor Swift? She's not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl.'
Later, Swift and the Haim sisters posted a video dancing to Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' with the caption 'Girls just wanna have PUN.'
Swift's appearance followed her attendance at the Eastern Conference Finals where the Knicks defeated her fiance Travis Kelce's Cleveland Cavaliers. Kelce said on his podcast he wasn't trying to change Swift's allegiance. The chair Swift sat on in Cleveland is reportedly up for auction.
Rumors persist that Swift and Kelce may marry at Madison Square Garden in July, with sources citing privacy as key. The event is said to be a three-day affair with 1,100 to 1,200 guests.
