Taylor Swift brought the energy to Madison Square Garden for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who took in the Knicks-Spurs series on Celebrity Row with best friends and singing sisters Este and Alana Haim, was fully animated as she was featured on the Madison Square Garden video board to her song, “The Fate of Ophelia,” during the first quarter.
Swift, sporting a blue and orange T-shirt that said “Stevie Knicks,” yelled “Let’s go” and pointed to actress Mariska Hargitay, who was sitting next to her.
Swift received a warm welcome as she helped hype up the crowd at MSG, where she and fiancé Travis Kelce reportedly paid an estimated $3 million to rent the world’s most famous arena for their July 3 wedding.
Swift and the Haim sisters, who also donned matching “Knickelback” and “Knickole Kidman” shirts, were seen jamming out while sitting in their courtside seats. Hargitay, who was featured on the video board, made a cameo in Swift’s 2015 “Bad Blood” music video. She’s also friends with Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson.
A source told Page Six earlier in the day that Swift is a bona fide fan of the home team.
“She’s a huge fan of the Knicks and really wants to be there to support them. She is going with friends,” a source told Page Six early Wednesday.
The singer has ties to New York.
Swift, who was a song, “Welcome to New York,” has owned multiple properties in the city since 2014.
That year, a viral photo of Swift rocking a Knicks jersey with former New York stars, Carmelo Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire, on the court at Madison Square Garden sent fans into a frenzy.
Swift made the trip to Game 4 after her appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of “Toy Story 5” on Tuesday.
She wrote the song, “I Knew It, I Knew You,” with Jack Antonoff, which plays over the credits of the animated sequel, premiering June 19.
