New York Knicks reporter Monica McNutt bragged that her shady comment about Taylor Swift caused a “commotion.â€
On Monday, McNutt reshared the video of Knicks players Jalen Brunson defending her for dissing Swift in their interview from Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
“King of New York, we good over here,†McNutt wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside the clip.
“You know I love a little commotion,†she added.
When McNutt, 36, interviewed Brunson, 29, after the Knicks won the NBA Finals on Saturday, the basketball player gave a message to the Swifties who have been attacking the ESPN personality online.
“I just want to say something to the Swifties: She's a really good one,†Brunson said.
“Cut her some slack,†the NBA champion added. “It's all good, I promise.â€
McNutt replied, “Thank you. I appreciate it.â€
During Game 4 of the NBA Finals last Wednesday, McNutt was caught making a shady comment about Swift, who sat courtside in Madison Square Garden with her pals Alana and Este Haim.
“She's not a Knicks fan,†McNutt said. “Get out of here, girl.â€
The next day, McNutt told TMZ that she “misspoke†about Swift's Knicks fandom — but pointed out the “Opalite†singer hadn't been to a Knicks home game all season.
“I had not seen her here, this year or last year,†McNutt said.
The sports analyst also mentioned how Swift went to a Cleveland Cavaliers game against the Knicks with her fiancé, Travis Kelce, last month, which caused a stir with New Yorkers.
“She didn't have on any Knicks paraphernalia,†McNutt noted. “So, I did not know of her Knicks loyalty.â€
When McNutt went on “The Breakfast Club†last Friday, she denied race was a factor in her criticism of Swift.
“Quickly people were like, ‘Oh, you're racist.' No, I'm kind of stating a fact,†she explained. “But we have had to live in the fact and it makes everybody else uncomfortable.â€
Swift has owned a home in New York since 2014 and shown support for the Knicks multiple times over the years.
She was one of the many A-listers who watched the Knicks beat the Spurs 107-106 during Game 4 inside MSG — the same place she's rumored to be marrying Kelce over July 4th weekend.
