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 San Antonio Spurs.
The 36-year-old megastar was seen on the pitch with her friends Alana and Este Haim as she watched the match.
During live radio coverage, ESPN New York’s Monica McNutt noticed Swift in the crowd and asked, “Is that Taylor Swift over 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 show were shared online.
Some people said it was just a joke, while others thought it seemed rude and mean.
McNutt and his co-host Tyler Murray didn’t appear to know they were live at the time.
This caused even more talk about the clip as fans began to discuss and debate what it actually meant.
At the same time, the Knicks won a big victory on the court. They beat the Spurs 107-106 in a close and exciting match, taking a step towards the championship.
However, Taylor was also present on the big screen in the arena and received a mixed but mostly positive reaction from fans in the stadium.
