Rising Knicks stars call out Taylor Swift’s ‘performative’ fandom despite NBA Finals appearance

While she made a splash at Game 4 of the NBA Finals in June, some players don’t think Taylor Swift is a real New York Knicks fan . During an appearance on Deflected, Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride played NBA 2K26. They were asked who the “fakest celebrity fan” is that they’ve seen at a game. Kolek had to answer since McBride made the next basket. He believes there are a lot of “performative” fans, especially ones like Swift.
