New York Knicks radio analyst Monica McNutt was caught making a shady comment about Taylor Swift attending Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday.
In a viral clip, McNutt and fellow announcer Tyler Murray were unaware they were still broadcasting as they spoke about Swift, who sat courtside at Madison Square Garden with her pals Alana and Este Haim.
“Is that Taylor Swift down there?” McNutt, 36, asked.
When Murray replied that he didn’t think Swift was there, McNutt pointed out the pop star by describing her “long ponytail” and “blue” outfit.
Murray then whipped his phone out to take a picture of Swift, 36, for his wife.
“She’s not a Knicks fan,” McNutt said. “Get out of here, girl.”
Page Six has reached out to McNutt’s rep for comment.
Page Six broke the news that Swift was heading to MSG — her rumored wedding venue — to cheer on the Knicks against the San Antonio Spurs.
Just last month, Swift caused a stir with New Yorkers for attending a Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Knicks with her fiancé, Travis Kelce.
The NFL player later insisted to his “New Heights” listeners that he was not “trying to persuade Taylor into being a Cleveland sports fan” with him.
“Obviously, being a Cleveland sports fan all my life, getting Tay back to Cleveland and showing her my roots is always something I love doing,” he explained.
The “Opalite” singer, for her part, has lived in New York since 2014 and shown support for the Knicks multiple times over the years.
She was one of many A-listers who watched the Knicks beat the Spurs 107-106 inside MSG, sitting front row alongside two of the three Haim sisters, Mariska Hargitay and Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor.
Swift sat just a few rows in front of her nemesis Scooter Braun and his girlfriend, Sydney Sweeney.
During the post-game celebrations on the court, Swift shared a sweet embrace with Kylie Jenner, years after her feud with her sister, Kim Kardashian.
Swift’s look included a custom-made blue and orange “Stevie Knicks” shirt, Area jeans and chain-trimmed Versace heels, as well as a fishtail braid, blue ribbons in her hair and a matching manicure.
Before the game, Swift, Alana and Este showed off their Knicks-inspired attire and danced in an Instagram video set to Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” song.
We previously reported that Swift is set to marry Kelce, 36, at the famous arena over July 3 weekend.
“Everyone’s been sworn to secrecy,” one source told us.
Swift has performed at MSG eight times, once for 2009’s “Fearless” tour, twice for “Speak Now,” and four times for the Z100 Jingle Ball.
