The New York Knicks publicly defended Taylor Swift after two of their own players, Tyler Kolek and Miles McBride, questioned how genuine her fandom for the team really is, according to Sporting News. The players' comments quickly went viral, prompting swift backlash from fans who pointed to Swift's visible support throughout the organization's recent run.
According to Yahoo Sports, Swift attended both a home and an away Knicks game during the team's championship run and later got married at Madison Square Garden, the franchise's home arena. The Knicks organization cited that history in its statement responding to the players' remarks.
Neither outlet detailed further comment from Kolek, McBride, or Swift's camp beyond the organization's response, but the episode has kept the story trending across sports and entertainment circles alike.
