When? Donald Trump attends Game 3 of the NBA FinalsThe crowd booed him during the national anthem, and the hometown New York Knicks lost for the first time in more than a month.
The President is generally not one to embrace criticism, but it seems he has got the hint this time.
Multiple outlets have now confirmed that Trump will do so No Be in attendance for Game 4 tonight — but it looks like a different culturally beloved, highly divisive blonde billionaire will be taking his place.
Yes, page six has confirmed that Taylor Swift will be at Madison Square Garden tonight.
This year will be her first time missing a playoff game: Ty and fiancé Travis Kelce were on the court for a game of the Knicks during their series against the Cleveland Cavs.
Travis – a Cleveland native and lifelong Cavs fan – also pleased the hometown crowd by standing and drinking beer.
There are two important differences for tonight’s game:
For one thing, Tai will be able to openly cheer for the Knicks (New York is her adopted hometown, but she has toned down her fans in Cleveland).
On top of that, it looks like Travis will No Be present tonight.
“She’s a huge Knicks fan and really wants to be there to support them. She’s going with friends,” a source told Page Six.
Travis talked about his own NBA fandom on the latest episode of his podcast, stating that he was “not trying to convince Taylor to become a Cleveland sports fan”.
“It was a fun date night for me, knowing that I love going to basketball games. We actually tried to go to a game in New York, but I was stuck in Kansas City. I love bringing her into the world of sports that I appreciate,” he explained, adding:
“Obviously, being a Cleveland sports fan my whole life, bringing Tai back to Cleveland and showing him his roots is always something I love to do.”
As far as the players are concerned, it seems they would prefer to play against Taylor rather than Trump.
“I think it’s inconvenient for everyone else to have the president here. We’ve got more, obviously more security. We’ve got to send stuff out sooner, I think our buses are a little bit earlier,” Spurs point guard De’Aaron Fox explained. Yahoo! news Before Monday’s game.
“The less stuff you can bring in, the better. Obviously, we’re screening like it’s TSA. A little inconvenient for people who have to play. It is what it is.”
Obviously, Taylor is almost as famous as the President, but the Secret Service won’t shut down entire city blocks on her behalf.
And we’re sure both the players and the city of New York will appreciate it.
