Knicks fans are on fire right now — and one influencer's husband got the ultimate Knicks-themed surprise from her last night.

Ahead of the New York basketball team's appearance in Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 10, New York City-based influencer Jazmyn Smith posted a fit check video getting ready — like so many others across the city — to head out for a Knicks watch party with her husband, Kevin Callari.

"Hi guys, outfit of the night. We're going to go to a watch party with our friends to watch the Knicks game," said Smith at the beginning of her video, before she was humorously corrected by Callari, who said, "To watch the Knicks win."

"That, yes," she said, before adding, nonchalantly, "But... I thought it would be more fun if we went to the actual game, so we got tickets to go to the game."

Callari appeared not to register what Smith had just said at first, because it took him a minute to respond. However, suddenly, the realization hit him, and he turned to Smith, saying, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I'm serious," Smith said, smiling. "I got tickets to go to the game," she reiterated.

Callari, still in disbelief, asked again, "We're not going to Rocco's?"

"No, we're going to MSG," came Smith's response, before Callari picked her up and swept her off her feet.

In a follow-up video posted at Madison Square Garden, Smith made a joking nod to the fact that Taylor Swift was in attendance at Wednesday's game. "Taylor wanted to hangout with me tonight but she didnt want people to be jealous of our friendship so we had to sit separately," Smith wrote over a clip of her and Callari at the game, which then panned to a video of Swift on the jumbotron.

The Knicks ultimately took home the Game 4 win during one of the most intense games in NBA Finals history. The team won 107-106 in the last few seconds of the game thanks to OG Anunoby, who made the game-winning shot with just over a second left. Game 4 attracted dozens of celebrities, including Swift, Mariska Hargitay, Spike Lee, Adam Sandler, Tracy Morgan, Michael J. Fox and court-side staples Timothée Chalamet and Ben Stiller.

In another follow-up video, Smith showed a clip of her and Callari celebrating after the Knicks' comeback win. In white text over clips of them hugging, she wrote, "When you surprise your life long knicks fan husband with tickets to Game 4 and it ends up being the most insane game ever."

Swift's attendance at the game was all the more special for Smith and Callari as their own 2025 wedding had special ties to the "You Belong with Me" singer. The influencer and her husband tied the knot last year at Oheka Castle on Long Island, which was the filming site for Swift's 2014 "Blank Space" music video.

On May 24, 2025, a host of notable content creators traveled to Long Island to celebrate Smith, who has over 500,000 followers between Instagram and TikTok.

The N.Y.C. influencer's bridal party featured familiar faces, like Brigette Pheloung (known online as Acquired Style) and maid-of-honor Halley Kate McGookin.

Several other songs from the singer's discography soundtracked other clips shared by Smith over the course of the weekend. Indeed, the creator managed to keep her fans updated throughout the wedding festivities, and she explained her content strategy shortly after in a video titled, "How I posted so much during my wedding and why I did it."

According to Smith, she and McGookin share an assistant, and she was responsible for capturing the content they planned to share ahead of time. They listed all of their desired videos on a spreadsheet organized by which dress Smith would be wearing when they were to be filmed. Smith recalled how her assistant's "job the entire day was making sure these videos were done."
