A Knicks radio host accidentally went viral during Game 4 of the NBA Finals after being caught on a hot mic telling pop star Taylor Swift to 'get out' of Madison Square Garden. The incident occurred during ESPN New York's live broadcast, where host Monica McNutt questioned Swift's presence courtside before making the remark. Both McNutt and her co-host, Tyler Murray, appeared unaware they were live on air.
Swift, who attended the game alongside her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and friends Alana and Este Haim, had been cheered by most of the crowd when shown on the jumbotron. The Knicks secured a historic comeback victory, moving within one win of the championship. This was Swift's second NBA playoff game of the postseason, following her attendance at a Knicks-Cavaliers matchup in May.
The remarks quickly drew criticism from Swift's fans, with some accusing McNutt of unprofessionalism. Others defended McNutt, suggesting she may have been joking or reacting to perceived disrespect toward Knicks fans. As of now, McNutt has not publicly addressed the incident.
