A New York Knicks player has criticized pop superstar Taylor Swift, naming her the "fakest" celebrity fan and describing her public support as "a little performative," according to a report published Friday.

The remarks, attributed to an unidentified Knicks player, were reported by Jennifer Lenhart for First for Sports. The player suggested Swift's visible attendance at games and public displays of fandom are more about performance than genuine passion for the team.

Swift has been a frequent courtside presence at NBA games in recent years, often drawing significant media attention. The Knicks have not officially commented on the player's remarks.
