'Get out of here girl': Taylor Swift sparks viral Knicks radio hot mic clip at NBA Finals Game 4

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Taylor Swift’s arrival at Game 4 of the NBA Finals was met with a VIP-style welcome and strong crowd excitement rather than any negative reaction.

The only moment that stood out on air came from Knicks radio analyst Monica McNutt, who was heard saying, “She’s not a Knicks fan,” as Swift appeared in the stands during the broadcast on Wednesday, June 10.

Swift has often been spotted at NBA games over the years and has previously gone viral for her appearances, but this outing once again drew attention because of the broadcast commentary rather than anything happening in the crowd itself.

While the radio team was live on air, they were trying to confirm whether the pop superstar had actually arrived at the arena. As the discussion unfolded in real time, cameras appeared to catch Swift seated among the VIP crowd, prompting on-air speculation.

Once her presence was confirmed, the conversation shifted sharply, and analyst McNutt said the candid reaction, saying, “She’s not a Knicks fan, get out of here, girl.”

The remark, heard clearly on broadcast audio, quickly spread across social media and became a highlight clip from the game coverage.

Despite the viral radio moment, the overall scene at the arena was energetic and welcoming, with Swift drawing attention as one of the evening’s most high-profile guests rather than any kind of controversy.

Swift also leaned into the moment, wearing a blue shirt with orange lettering that read “Stevie Knicks.” She was joined by longtime friends Alana Haim and Este Haim, who matched the vibe with their own themed outfits, including “Knickleback” and “Knickole Kidman,” which added a humorous, coordinated touch to their courtside appearance.

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy also reacted online and supported Swift after the Knicks radio moment.

A post shared by Barstool Sports on X (formerly Twitter) also spread the clip. It showed the radio booth talking live, first asking, “Is that Taylor Swift down there?” and then responding, “She’s not a Knicks fan, get out of here girl,” not realizing they were still on air.

The moment is now part of a bigger buzz around Swift’s NBA appearances. She has been seen at several games recently, including sitting courtside with her partner at an away game where the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the Knicks.
