Tyler Kolek owns up to Taylor Swift fan comment that earned him some fun Knicks ribbing

New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek took responsibility for questioning pop star Taylor Swift's fandom following a 109-97 victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kolek had previously called Swift performative during a livestream, which led to teasing from his teammates. Following the game, Knicks players, led by Jalen Brunson, played Swift's music in the locker room to playfully mock the second-year guard.

Kolek explained that he misspoke and admitted he was unaware of Swift's past attendance at Knicks games. The organization had earlier released a statement affirming Swift's long-standing support for the team after the initial comments surfaced.
