NEW YORK (Reuters) – Taylor Swift was among the star-studded crowd at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night as the New York Knicks pulled off the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history, edging the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 on OG Anunoby's tip-in with 1.2 seconds remaining to take a 3-1 series lead.
Swift sat courtside in a blue T-shirt bearing the words "Stevie Knicks" — a pun on her musical influence Stevie Nicks — and was joined by singers Alana Haim and Este Haim, who wore similarly themed shirts reading "Knickelback" and "Knickole Kidman" respectively.
The pop superstar's appearance came just one day after she attended the Toy Story 5 premiere in Los Angeles. Her fiance, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, was absent, with the NFL tight end away on training duties.
The Knicks, who trailed by 29 points in the third quarter, can now clinch their first championship since 1973 when Game 5 tips off in San Antonio on Saturday night.
