Taylor Swift attended game 4 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden in June, which saw the Knicks overcome a 29-point deficit for the largest comeback in Finals history. Knicks star Jalen Brunson spoke at Variety’s inaugural Sports & Entertainment Studio last week, during which he showed appreciation for having the pop supernova courtside among the celebrity guests in the crowd.
“It’s really cool having her there,” Brunson said, before bringing up Swift also being courtside for the Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland. “I feel like her being in Cleveland for courtside one game, obviously, I think Travis and the Kelces are from Ohio, so I get that. And she’s been at the Knicks’ games before.”
He continued: “So, I mean, whoever comes, as long as you’re cheering us on, we appreciate it. And I think that was probably a really good game to come to as well.”
Swift cheered on the Knicks during the historic comeback in game 4 while rocking a “Stevie Knicks” T-shirt alongside HAIM’s Este and Alana Haim as well as actress Mariska Hargitay.
JB and the Knicks ended up disposing of the Spurs in five games to capture the franchise’s first championship in 53 years.
Page Six reported that Brunson and the rest of the Knicks starting five were invited to Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding. JB didn’t confirm whether or not he was invited, but he did relay that he wasn’t at the star-studded affair.
“It’s a great question,” he said. “I found out the same way the rest of the world did. So, I don’t know if it was true or not, but I did not attend.”
Swift and Kelce tied the knot at Madison Square Garden on July 3 in front of more than 1,000 wedding guests, while Adam Sandler served as the ceremony’s officiant.
