Hot mic captures New York Knicks reporter's ruthless comment about Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift showed her support for the Knicks during the Game 4 NBA Finals last night - but is she a fan of the team? One commentator didn’t think so, as she was caught in an awkward moment.

After a tough loss on Monday night during Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs, the Knicks had one of the biggest comebacks in NBA Finals history last night - and are now just one win away from a series victory.

Taylor Swift was among the many celebrities cheering the team on - and of course, gained widespread attention from the press.

The radio team were also shocked by her appearance, as they questioned: “Is that Taylor Swift down there?”

However, Monica McNutt didn’t seem too impressed, as on a video circulating around Twitter, she could be heard saying: “That’s her down there! With the long ponytail in the blue.”

After a quick discovery mission, with the commentators zooming in with their phone to check if it was the Bad Blood singer - it was confirmed.

“She’s not even a Knicks fan, get out of here girl!” she said.

Is Taylor Swift a Knicks fan?

Yes, Swift is a Knicks fan - as many pointed out on social media.

“I’m not even a Swiftie and I know that,” penned one. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy also commented: “Damn. Hate to see @McNuttMonica hating on Taylor Swift. Lots of new faces in the crowd. Don’t see her singling them out. Knicks are falling apart at the seams.”

Recently, the star attended a Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Knicks with her fiance, Travis Kelce. Many Knicks fans were disappointed in the singer, believing she had switched sides after meeting her partner.

However, despite her fiancé being dripped head to toe in Cavaliers merch, Swift didn’t follow.

Kelce then later clarified on his New Heights podcast: “This was me just having a fun date night knowing that I love going to basketball games. We actually tried to go to a game in New York, but I was stuck in Kansas City. I love bringing her into the sports world that I appreciate.”

Swift has lived in New York since 2014 - and seems to now be an adopted resident - having grown up in Pennsylvania, before recruiting to Tennessee as a teen to pursue her country music career.
