New York Knicks guards Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride named pop star Taylor Swift the fakest celebrity Knicks fan in a video shared Thursday.
Appearing on the NBA 2K League TikTok account, Kolek brought up Swift when asked the question, and McBride agreed. Kolek added, “I guess she’s got a lot going on, so she can’t come all the time, but it’s a little performative.”
In the wake of Kolek and McBride’s comments, the Knicks issued a statement to TMZ.
“Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization,” the organization said.
Many celebrities were spotted courtside during the Knicks’ run to an NBA championship last season, including Swift, who attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden alongside friends Alana Haim, Este Haim and Mariska Hargitay.
