Knicks Radio Host Responds After Taylor Swift Hot Mic Moment

TheStewartofNY / WireImageESPN radio host Monica McNutt apologized to Taylor Swift after diehard fans slammed her for calling the pop star a fake Knicks fan. “Is that Taylor Swift down there? She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” McNutt said during Wednesday night’s wild NBA Finals game while the singer was courtside. McNutt apologized Thursday morning, telling TMZ, “Swifties, I appreciate your passion. I said what I said. But here’s the deal: if I am wrong, and I am wrong apparently... I misspoke, I did not know.” The ESPN host had incorrectly believed that Swift was a Cavaliers fan after she attended a game in Cleveland with her Ohio-native fiancé, Travis Kelce. “I did not know of her Knicks loyalty but shout out T Swift, we can be united in orange and blue. It’s fine,” McNutt said. Swifties declared war after McNutt’s comments with one writing on X, “always unfortunate when women are bitter about other women for no reason.” But luckily for Swift’s fans, her presence in Madison Square Garden may have actually contributed to the iconic Game 4 win the Knicks had on Wednesday night, coming back from the San Antonio Spurs’ 29-point lead and winning by one point with a second left on the clock. Swift is also reportedly getting married to Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on July 3, but the news remains an unconfirmed rumor.Read it at Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.
