There are few invitations more coveted than a seat at Madison Square Garden during a Knicks playoff run. On June 10, the New York Knicks erased a 29-point deficit to edge out the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. And the arena wasn’t the only place buzzing.
The dramatic comeback—which puts New York one win away from its first NBA championship since 1973—had celebrity fans reacting in real time from courtside seats, Instagram Stories, and even across the Atlantic.
Taylor Swift, who attended with Alana and Este Haim in a clever “Stevie Knicks” T-shirt, joined Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Mariska Hargitay, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Larry David, Tate McRae, Hailey Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Jordyn Woods, and more inside MSG.
By the time OG Anunoby delivered the game-winning basket, reactions ranged from stunned disbelief to all-out celebration. Videos from the arena showed Swift celebrating alongside Hargitay, while Chalamet—who attended with Jenner and has emerged as one of the team’s most visible celebrity supporters throughout this playoff run—appeared overwhelmed by the outcome.
Chalamet and Jenner were spotted jumping up and down alongside fellow Knicks fans as the Garden erupted after the final buzzer. He remained just as excited as he left the arena:

Elsewhere in the arena, Nina Dobrev documented the night from a suite, sharing a video from Madison Square Garden and writing, “LFG 🚀 @nyknicks.” Keke Palmer, who attended with Dobrev, wrote in one Instagram Story, “my date @ninadobrev,” before later sharing another video and adding, “so hype.”
Sydney Sweeney, who attended with Scooter Braun, also posted clips from inside the Garden, calling the game an “emotional rollercoaster,” while Woods—whose fiancé Karl-Anthony Towns plays for the Knicks—shared updates throughout the night, including posts about the orange handbag fans have dubbed a playoff good-luck charm.
The excitement wasn’t limited to New York. Selena Gomez, currently in London filming Only Murders in the Building, revealed she was staying up despite the time difference. Sharing a photo of the game on her laptop, she wrote, “3 A.M. London time, but can’t miss it lol.”
Nick Jonas was also locked in before taking the stage on tour, posting a backstage video celebrating the win and writing, “I love this team @nyknicks.”
With Game 5 now looming, one thing is already clear: whether they were sitting courtside, backstage before a concert, or awake at 3 A.M. overseas, celebrity Knicks fans experienced last night’s comeback exactly like everyone else, completely losing their minds.
Below, see how all the stars reacted to the Knicks’ historic Game 4 victory.
