Taylor Swift Warned Not To Jinx Knicks During Game 4 of NBA Finals

Taylor Swift is set to attend Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals tonight.

The New York Knicks are set to host the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday night. New York is leading San Antonio, 2-1, heading into Game 4. The Knicks fell to the Spurs at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, in front of a soldout crowd that included President Trump.

President Trump's presence caused a major stir during Game 3. In fact, some fans blamed President Trump for New York's loss, as they believed he caused a curse or distraction. Stephen A. Smithwas among those to do so.

President Trump did not like the criticism - or the blaming.

"Stephen A. Smith is an arrogant fool, a low IQ individual. In other words, he's ‘dumb as a rock,' and totally unqualified to ever think of running for high political office, or even low political office, for that matter," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He'd get annihilated in a debate by the most incompetent of politicians. Joe Biden's now "fabled" performance would look great by comparison to anything that this loudmouth huckster has to offer, which isn't much! Within a few weeks, they'd laugh him out of politics!!!"

While Taylor Swift's presence likely won't cause as big of a stir, she's still an A-list celebrity, who attended an Eastern Conference Finals game with her soon-to-be husband, Travis Kelce. That game, she appeared to be rooting for the Cavs.

Swift 'warned' not to curse Knicks in Game 4

Knicks fans, and several New Yorkers, are telling Swift that she better be rooting for the home team on Wednesday night. They don't want her cursing the Knicks, either.

"I hate this. The amount of celebrities who haven't been to a Knicks game in years like Jeter and now Taylor Swift and then the ones who have no business being there like Robert Kraft. Didn't have to worry about that in San Antonio," one fan wrote.

"After wrecking the NFL with cheers, boos and mayhem, what stupidity hits the game tonight?" one fan warned.

"Will T-Swift bring good or bad luck to the Knicks?" one fan added.

"I'm warning you, Taylor, don't you bring a loss tonight," one fan shared.

The Knicks need some good juju heading into Game 4. Perhaps Taylor Swift will be the fan to bring that energy.

Game 4 is set to tip off at 8:30 p.m. E.T. It'll air on ABC.
