New York Knicks guard Tyler Kolek said he misspoke when he described Taylor Swift as a "performative" fan of the team, adding that he loves her music.
The comment came after Swift attended Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on June 10, 2026, where the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs. Swift was seen reacting to the game.
Kolek's clarification was reported by The Comeback on November 8, 2026.
