Taylor Swift was right in the middle of the celebrations after the New York Knicks pulled off a stunning 107-106 victory over the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. The dramatic win completed the biggest comeback in Finals history and gave the Knicks a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
Moments after the final buzzer, Swift was seen soaking in the excitement on the court. Videos circulating online showed the singer jumping up and down alongside actress Mariska Hargitay as the arena erupted in celebration. Another clip captured her chanting and cheering with fans while leaving the venue.
The Knicks are now just one win away from the championship, with Game 5 scheduled for Saturday night.
Earlier in the day, sources had revealed that Swift planned to attend the highly anticipated matchup with friends. According to an insider, the pop superstar remains a passionate Knicks supporter and wanted to be there to back the team during its Finals run.
The appearance comes just weeks after Swift drew attention for attending a Cleveland Cavaliers playoff game with her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Some fans questioned her basketball loyalties, but Kelce later made it clear that he wasn’t trying to convert her into a Cleveland sports fan.
Speaking on his podcast, Kelce explained that the outing was simply a fun date night and shared that they had originally hoped to attend a game in New York. He also admitted that while watching the Cavaliers lose was tough, he would be rooting for the Knicks moving forward.

Swift’s connection to the Knicks goes back years. Since purchasing a home in Tribeca in 2014, she has regularly attended games at Madison Square Garden. Some of her most memorable appearances came alongside friends including Karlie Kloss, Justin Long, Amanda Seyfried, and later with Jimmy Fallon.
Her latest courtside appearance also arrives amid reports that she and Kelce are preparing to celebrate their wedding at Madison Square Garden during the July 3 holiday weekend, making the iconic venue an even bigger part of their story.
