Not a great look, judging by responses to posts of the moment by Barstool Sports and NY Post Sports. Some questioned how McNutt, given her job as a Knicks radio analyst, could not know of Swift's bona fides as a New York City resident and longtime Knicks fan.
"Maybe had she done some research she would have known TS performed the anthem for the knicks at age 12, has attended games in the past, and has lived in NYC for well over 13 years," one user wrote on X.
"How extremely unprofessional!!" someone else replied, and another wrote, "this isn't cute…."
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to McNutt's rep for comment.
The Knicks won the game by one point — 107 to the Spurs' 106 — to take a 3-1 lead after mounting a 29-point comeback in the second half, the largest in NBA Finals history. They are now one game away from their first championship in 53 years. Game 5 is on Saturday in San Antonio.
