Taylor Swift Gives Nod to Stevie Nicks at Game 4 of the NBA Finals

by

It’s been a fortnight since Taylor Swift attended her last NBA game.

But the Grammy winner was cheer captain and in the bleachers June 10 when she visited Madison Square Garden to support the New York Knicks during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Taylor Swift showed her support for both her favorite basketball team and Stevie Nicks by wearing a blue shirt with the name “Stevie Knicks” written on it in orange letters.

Okay, so Taylor was with her amazing friends, Alana and Este Haim, and they were ALL in on the joke! They had the cutest matching shirts – seriously, I need one! Alana’s said “Knickleback” and Este’s said “Knickole Kidman,” playing on Taylor’s song, of course. And get this – Mariska Hargitay, like, the Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: SVU, was wearing the same shirt as Taylor! It was the most perfect, supportive, fan-girling moment ever, and I’m obsessed!

Taylor Swift wasn’t the only celebrity in the front row. Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, were also there, along with Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, who were seated elsewhere in the arena.

Last month, the “Karma” singer was joined by fiancée Travis Kelce while cheering on the Knicks during the Eastern Conference finals in Cleveland, Ohio. At the May 23 game, Swift and Kelce packed on the PDA and shared a few laughs as they watched the team defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Following the event, the seat Taylor Swift occupied at Rocket Arena was put up for auction on the website The Realest.

“As one of the most recognized and influential artists of her generation,” the website’s description read, “the occupant of this chair has earned worldwide acclaim through a career defined by commercial success, critical recognition, and multiple Grammy Award victories. Her attendance reflects the cultural reach of the NBA Playoffs and the significance of the Eastern Conference Finals as one of the most visible events in sports.”

Since being listed, the chair has received 39 bids, with the current bid listed at $6,500. 

The chair is a memorable item from a famous championship event. Because it was used near a world-renowned performer, it has a special history and captures the energy of the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals.

Of course, Swift isn’t the only celebrity fan of the New York Knicks. Read on to see more stars who cheer on the orange and blue.
