Knicks speak out as Taylor Swift called out by star player for being team's 'fakest' fan

New York Knicks players Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride publicly questioned whether pop star Taylor Swift is a “real” fan during a Thursday NBA 2K livestream, with Kolek naming her as the least genuine celebrity he’d seen at an NBA game. Both agreed, though Kolek noted Swift may attend simply to be seen and added he expects backlash from her “Swifties.” The Knicks then stepped in to clarify the remarks were not the organization’s position. A spokesperson said Swift has been a Knicks supporter for years, with a long history at Madison Square Garden. The singer attended Game Four of the NBA Finals in June and Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals in May.
