The New York Knicks have defended Taylor Swift after two of the team’s point guards questioned the sincerity of her appearances at NBA games.
Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride described the pop star’s attendance at games as “a little performative”. They also named Swift the “fakest celebrity fan”, according to the source material.
Swift’s appearances at NBA fixtures have attracted attention because of her status as one of the world’s best-known pop stars. The comments by the Knicks players focused on how genuine her public support for the team appeared to be.
The Knicks subsequently defended Swift. No further details of the team’s response, or of the circumstances surrounding the players’ remarks, were provided in the supplied material.
The latest known position is that the disagreement centres on Swift’s public presence at NBA games and whether it reflects genuine fandom or performance for public attention.
