The Knicks have come to the defense of Taylor Swift and say they are "incredibly appreciative" of her support after Tyler Kolek and Miles "Deuce" McBride named her as the fakest celebrity fan at games.

The New York Knicks issued a statement defending Taylor Swift after players Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride called her courtside appearances performative. During an NBA 2K League livestream, Kolek and McBride questioned Swift's fandom and labeled her the fakest celebrity fan at games. A team spokesperson responded on Friday, stating that Swift has been a fan for many years and that the franchise is incredibly appreciative of her support.
Swift's history with the Knicks dates back to 2003, when she performed during a halftime contest at Madison Square Garden at age 13. Her notable recent appearances include attending Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals alongside Travis Kelce.
