Knicks Take 3-1 Finals Lead After Historic Comeback
Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, drew a significant number of public figures. The Knicks won the game, taking a 3-1 series lead after overcoming a 29-point deficit.
The series entered Game 4 with the Knicks having won 13 consecutive playoff games between Game 4 of the first round against the Atlanta Hawks and Game 2 of the Finals. The Spurs ended that streak with a 115-111 victory in Game 3 on Monday.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce
Singer Taylor Swift attended the game with her fiancé, Travis Kelce. Reports also indicated she attended with musicians Alana and Este Haim. The group was observed wearing Knicks-themed shirts with puns.
This was not the first NBA game the couple attended. In May, Swift and Kelce attended Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New York Knicks at Rocket Arena. During that broadcast, commentators referred to Swift as Kelce's "girlfriend." Kelce, a native of Cleveland, stated on his podcast "New Heights" that the attendance "wasn't me trying to persuade Taylor into being a Cleveland sports fan with me" and described it as "a fun date night." He noted he was "probably" rooting for the Knicks after the Cavaliers' elimination.
