Madison Square Garden’s Celebrity Row was stacked for Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.
Taylor Swift was in the building with best friends Alana and Este Haim for the Knicks’ miracle 107-106 comeback win on Wednesday night.
Swift, who owns multiple properties in New York City, and fiancé Travis Kelce, a veteran tight end for the Chiefs, reportedly shelled out about $3 million dollars to rent MSG for their July 3 wedding.
The couple also attended Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals series between the Knicks and the Cavaliers in Cleveland last month. New York completed a four-game sweep of Cleveland.

After San Antonio’s 115-111 road win over New York in Game 3, Spurs players were greeted with boos from a crowd of people waiting outside the Ritz Carlton in New York on Tuesday.
This came after massive brawls broke out in the street outside of a NBA Finals watch party at Bryant Park after San Antonio cut the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1 in a thriller at Madison Square Garden.
A total of 21 people were taken into custody after an “incredibly reckless” post-game reaction that resulted in multiple injuries and people piled on top of police cars, the NYPD said.
Two people were charged with assault on a police officer, and five cops were hurt.
The 2026 NBA Finals will shift back to San Antonio for Game 5, with Game 6 taking place in New York, if necessary. A Game 7 would be hosted by the Spurs.
