Taylor Swift’s Knicks fandom was a topic of conversation at the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony Thursday night in New York.
While on the red carpet, Evan Lamberg, President of Universal Music Publishing, was heard thanking Swift for her loud support of the Knicks the night before — when the superstar and singing sisters, Este and Alana Haim, were unofficial Knicks cheerleaders on Celebrity Row during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
“Thank you for our Knicks good luck, think you won the game for them,” Lamberg said after the Knicks pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history in a 107-106 win over the Spurs.
“Oh my gosh, you know what I did what I can, just gotta keep the energy up. Never a doubt!” Swift said with sarcasm before she let out a big laugh.
Swift made history as the youngest-ever woman to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at age 36 during the ceremony, which took place at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
Her fiancé, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was there, as well as their mothers, Andrea Swift and Donna Kelce.
The night before, Swift was just a few blocks down at Madison Square Garden cheering for the Knicks and wearing matching blue and orange t-shirts with “Law & Order: SVU” actress Mariska Hargitay.
Swift’s fandom has been a hot button topic after she and the Haim sisters nearly stole the spotlight on Celebrity Row.
The 14-time Grammy winner was heard telling someone that she was going to bring the energy in a video taken of her and the Haim sisters walking into MSG.
Swift and Kelce reportedly paid an estimated $3 million to rent out the world’s most famous arena for their July 3 wedding.
The Knicks could close out the series in Game 5 in San Antonio on Saturday to win their first championship in 53 years.
