Taylor Swift honours legend at NBA finals: 'Performative' move

Taylor Swift, who is about to tie knot with Travis Kelce, could not hold back her excitement at the recent NBA playoffs.

A day after performing at Toy Story 5 premiere, the 36-year-old made a rare appearance at the NBA finals without her husband-to-be.

In one of the viral videos from the Madison Square Garden, the Love Story crooner showed off Stevie Knicks (Stevie Nicks) shirt to the camera while cheering loudly.

She then turned to the Haim sisters and Mariska Hargitay, flaunting the names of other Hollywood stars with a hint of sports. 

One of them was Knickole Kidman (Nicole Kidman).

However, the move did not sit well with the online community as one of the X users penned down that the Grammy winner is “so performative,” having no interest in sports.

Another netizen reminded her that she is “from Pennsylvania,” referring to her fangirling over the icons from the entertainment industry.

Did Taylor Swift release any song for Toy Story 5?

The Bad Blood singer recently released her single I Knew It, I Knew You for the Disney movie. She performed the song live, sending fans into a frenzy.

Taylor, who is reportedly tying knot on July 3, also did a duo with Randy Newman on the famous You’ve Got a Friend in Me.
