New York Knicks<\/a> radio analyst<\/span> Monica McNutt got dunked on hard after she made a hot mic comment about Taylor Swift\u2019s<\/a> attendance at the NBA Finals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Swift attended Game 4 on Wednesday<\/a> at Madison Square Garden with Este and Alana Haim from the band Haim, wearing a \u201cStevie Knicks\u201d T-shirt, and, of course, people noticed, including McNutt, who also works for ESPN.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At one point, McNutt asked her on-air partner, announcer Tyler Murray, if Swift was actually at the game. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He responded that he thought someone else was \u201csaying her name to distract\u201d him, but then whipped out his camera to take a photo of the singer for his wife.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McNutt apparently wasn\u2019t impressed to see Swift and told Murray, \u201cShe\u2019s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You can see the complete exchange below, though McNutt is off-camera.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIs that Taylor Swift down there?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not a Knicks fan, get out of here girl\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

celebrity.land reached out to the Knicks for comment, but no one immediately responded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Meanwhile, social media users brought receipts showing that Swift has attended Knicks games since at least 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

TMZ tracked down McNutt<\/a> on Thursday. She said she appreciated the \u201cpassion\u201d of Swifties and admitted she may have been wrong about the singer\u2019s fandom, because \u201cshe\u2019s got an O.G. Amar\u2019e Stoudemire jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McNutt admitted she \u201cmisspoke. I did not know\u201d Swift loved the Knicks, but she has not seen the singer at a game in the past two years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Also, she added this slight diss:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe just saw her in Cleveland with her fianc\u00e9 \u2015 obviously, Travis supports the Cavs \u2015 she didn\u2019t have on any Knicks paraphernalia, so I did not know of her Knicks loyalty.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No word on whether Swift will be traveling to San Antonio for Game 5, but it is rumored she may return to the Knicks\u2019 home arena for her upcoming wedding to NFL player Travis Kelce.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
