Taylor Swift was among the major celebrity fans in attendance at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night as the New York Knicks delivered one of the most remarkable comebacks in NBA Finals history, edging the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4.

The global pop superstar watched courtside alongside sisters Este Haim and Alana Haim as New York erased a 29-point deficit to seize a commanding 3-1 lead in the championship series. The trio embraced the occasion by wearing matching Knicks-themed shirts in the franchise’s signature blue and orange colors, featuring the playful phrase “Stevie Knicks.”

Swift was featured several times during the national broadcast and appeared fully invested in the action, cheering throughout the game. During one camera shot, she blew a kiss toward the crowd as Madison Square Garden erupted amid the Knicks’ stunning rally.

The appearance marked another public show of support for the Knicks from Swift, who has long been associated with New York and has attended games at the Garden on multiple occasions. Her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was unable to join her, remaining with the team for mandatory minicamp obligations.

For much of the night, the Knicks appeared destined for defeat. New York trailed 76-49 at halftime and later fell behind by as many as 29 points before mounting an extraordinary second-half comeback.

The Knicks gradually chipped away at the deficit, setting the stage for a dramatic finish when OG Anunoby knocked down the game-winning basket with less than a second remaining, completing a comeback that will be remembered as one of the greatest in Finals history.

The victory gave New York a 3-1 series advantage and set a new NBA Finals record for the largest comeback in championship series history. The previous record was a 24-point comeback by the Boston Celtics during the 2008 NBA Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers.
