Taylor Swift's NBA Courtside Seat Is Up for Auction
It’s been a fortnight since Taylor Swift attended her last NBA game.
But the Grammy winner was cheer captain and in the bleachers June 10 when she visited Madison Square Garden to support the New York Knicks during Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
For the outing, Swift combined her love for the basketball team and musician Stevie Nicks by sporting a blue shirt with orange letters that read, “Stevie Knicks.”
Alongside her were longtime friends Alana Haim and Este Haim, who matched the 36-year-old’s energy by wearing equally punny shirts that read “Knickleback” and “Knickole Kidman,” respectively. Meanwhile, Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay wore the same shirt as the pop star.
Swift and her friends weren’t the only stars filling out the front row, though. Indeed, Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor were a few seats down, while Timothée Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner sat elsewhere in the arena.
Last month, the “Karma” singer was joined by fiancée Travis Kelce while cheering on the Knicks during the Eastern Conference finals in Cleveland, Ohio. At the May 23 game, Swift and Kelce packed on the PDA and shared a few laughs as they watched the team defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After that matchup, the Rocket Arena seat that Swift sat in was listed for bidding on auction website The Realest.

"As one of the most recognized and influential artists of her generation," the website’s description read, "the occupant of this chair has earned worldwide acclaim through a career defined by commercial success, critical recognition, and multiple Grammy Award victories. Her attendance reflects the cultural reach of the NBA Playoffs and the significance of the Eastern Conference Finals as one of the most visible events in sports."
Since being listed, the chair has received 39 bids, with the current bid listed at $6,500.

"This chair serves as a tangible artifact from a nationally celebrated postseason event," the site continued. "Its connection to one of the world’s most recognizable entertainers adds a distinctive layer of provenance to an item tied directly to the atmosphere and excitement of the 2026 Eastern Conference Finals."
Of course, Swift isn't the only celebrity fan of the New York Knicks. Read on to see more stars who cheer on the orange and blue.

Ben Stiller
You could never sever Ben Stiller's tie to the Knicks. In fact, the Severance director said that if he could choose between winning an Oscar or having the team take the championship title, he'd pick the latter.
"I really think, at the end of the day, if I knew that I had the choice, I would give it to the Knicks," he said on New Heights in 2025, "because I knew at least I had the choice in this weird, non-real situation."
