How Taylor Swift responded to the Knicks’ good luck charm nickname
Taylor Swift had the most wholesome reaction to being labelled Knicks’ good luck charm. Entertainment Tonight captured a brief conversation between Universal Music executive Evan Lamberg and Swift at the New York event. Lamberg told Swift, “Thank you for our Knicks good luck.” To which, the pop icon replied with a laugh, “Oh my gosh. You know what, I did what I can. Just had to keep the energy up. Never a doubt.”
Fans, too, are in agreement of the fact that Swift was indeed the Knicks’ good luck charm. One fan commented, “umm, i’m pretty sure she was channeling all her winning energy to them and that’s how they had a massive comeback to win! thanks @taylorswift13 for bringing your magnetic energy in your clever shirt!”
A second fan wrote, “Taylor Swift knew something we didn’t… She is from the future.” A third fan penned, “Shake it off, Knicks!! Taylor is in the house to help you!!” A fourth fan chimed in, “She has peak lead character syndrome.” Finally, one fan remarked, “They won and it’s because of Taylor sweetie.”
Swift and the Haim sisters celebrated Knicks’ amazing victory by dancing to Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” They also donned personalized pun-filled T-shirts in the team colors of blue and orange. The “Opalite” hitmaker wore a blue T-shirt with “Stevie Knicks” printed in orange, tied her hair in a messy braid, and wore her signature red lipstick.
