Knicks guard Tyler Kolek Taylor Swift comment walk-back, Digi Mart USA News: Knicks guard Tyler Kolek knew Swifties would not appreciate him calling Taylor Swift the “fakest” celebrity fan who sits courtside. The source notes that the fan group would defend the singer regardless of the facts, and that the Knicks organization quickly distanced itself from his remarks.
A team spokesperson told OutKick in a statement, “Taylor Swift has been a Knicks fan for many years, has a long history with Madison Square Garden, and we are incredibly appreciative of her support of the organization.”
The source reports that Kolek’s girlfriend, Lexi Sousa, also pushed back, reminding him that he attended the Eras Tour, which the article suggests he did not need to be dragged to. The heat from Swifties, including his girlfriend, led Kolek to walk back the comment.
Speaking after the Knicks win over the Cavaliers over the weekend, according to the NY Post, Kolek said: “It’s just a question that was asked for me, that maybe I answered in the wrong way. Take that on the chin.
I love her music. We were just playing it five minutes ago, and I’m singing every word to every song.
Nothing against her at all.”
Kolek also addressed fan reports that Swift had attended games, noting that she was wearing a No. 13 jersey of Joakim Noah back in the day with Carmelo Anthony. “That’s on me.
I wasn’t up to date on my Taylor Swift Knicks fandom. So that’s on me.”
The OutKick author, who says they have no stake in the dispute beyond minor skirmishes with Swifties, called the controversy made-up and noted that the team that won the NBA Championship last season was caught up in it. The author also noted that the Knicks had wanted no part of the Swifties.
The columnist argued that Kylie Jenner is the more deserving favorite Knicks fan and said they would not apologize for defending Swift’s standing as a real fan.
