Singer Taylor Swift Courtside as Knicks Duel Spurs in NBA Finals

new York:Pop diva Taylor Swift was on the court at Madison Square Garden to cheer on the New York Knicks in game four of the NBA Finals on Wednesday.

Wearing a blue-orange Knicks T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan “Stevie Knicks,” the 14-time Grammy winner added to his already significant star power by joining longtime Knicks fans like film director Spike Lee and actor Ben Stiller.

Her appearance came a day after her surprise performance at the world premiere of “Toy Story 5” in Los Angeles, for which she wrote the song.

And it happened at the iconic arena where her wedding to NFL player Travis Kelce is rumored to take place next month.

The Knicks’ bid for their first NBA championship since 1973 against a young Spurs team featuring French phenom Victor Wembanyama has galvanized New York and captured the attention of sports fans across the United States.

The Knicks’ wins in the first two games in San Antonio created great excitement among fans.

The Spurs got a game back at Madison Square Garden on Monday; Here, US President Donald Trump was booed while attending the last game as the guest of Knicks owner James Dolan.

According to figures released by media research company Nielsen, this game was the third most watched NBA Finals game since 1998, the last finals year of the icon Michael Jordan.

Nielsen said Wednesday that the game averaged 23.8 million viewers, reaching 26.3 million by the end of the fourth quarter.

This is the largest television audience since Super Bowl 60 on February 8.

Swift is not a new Knicks fan. Born in neighboring Pennsylvania, he has attended other Knicks games since moving to New York in 2014.

Three weeks earlier, he and Kelce had attended a Knicks playoff game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland; This was a disappointing win for the Knicks over Ohio-born Kelce.
