Taylor Swift’s appearance at a New York Knicks game quickly went viral after a radio broadcast moment sparked online buzz.
Swift was at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night for Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
The 36-year-old megastar was seen on the field with friends Alana and Este Haim as she watched the game.
During the live radio coverage, ESPN New York’s Monica McNutt noticed Swift in the crowd and asked, “Is that Taylor Swift down there?”
She then added, “She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here girl.”
The comment quickly spread on social media after clips from the broadcast were shared online.
Some people said it was just a joke, while others felt it sounded rude and mean.
McNutt and co-host Tyler Murray seemed unaware they were live on the air at the moment.
It made the clip even more talked about as fans started discussing and debating what it really meant.
At the same time, the Knicks had a big win on the court. They beat the Spurs 107 to 106 in a close and exciting game and took a strong step towards the championship.
However, Taylor was also featured on the big screen in the arena and received a mixed but mostly positive reaction from fans in the stadium.
