TAYLOR SWIFT AMONG PROMINENT CELEBRITIES AT MSG FOR NBA FINALS GAME 4

The New York Knicks arrived at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night hoping to Shake It Off after their Game 3 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
And MSG had a new famous face in celebrity row for Game 4, with pop star Taylor Swift in the house getting another look at a venue she may soon know All Too Well.
The 14-time Grammy Award-winning artist joined the Knicks’ celebrity contingent with the team holding a 2-1 series lead. Swift is reportedly scheduled to marry Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden on July 3, turning Wednesday night’s finals appearance into something of a scouting trip for her future wedding venue.
While significant security measures were in place for Donald Trump’s attendance at Monday night’s game, the president spent much of the evening in a bulletproof-encased suite alongside Knicks owner James Dolan near the top of the arena.
Swift, meanwhile, sat courtside with Alana and Este Haim, and the rest of New York’s celebrities, including Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Fat Joe. Swift showed her support for New York’s team while wearing a “Stevie Knicks” shirt.
It’s not the first NBA playoff game Swift has attended this year. Alongside Kelce, Swift sat courtside for Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Knicks. Kelce is a Cleveland native and a known Cavaliers fan. However, both Swift and Kelce were condemned to watching Jalen Brunson score 30 points and lead his Knicks to a 121-108 win over Cleveland to go up 3-0 in that series on the way to a 4-0 sweep.

RUGBY BOSS BANNED FOR 'RACIST, HOMOPHOBIC, AND SEXIST' SPEECH

Scottish Rugby has imposed a 12-month ban on Alloa RFC president Alan Stewart attending matches following an after-dinner speech, described as "racist, homophobic and sexist" by some present.
Stewart has also been suspended from holding any role within the game over the same time period.
Multiple objections were made following remarks by Stewart during Musselburgh RFC's annual dinner on 18 April and an independent disciplinary panel has upheld a misconduct complaint.
Stewart, who can appeal against the decision, has also been instructed to undergo equality, diversity and inclusion training.
Charges against Musselburgh RFC and their president were not upheld.
In April, the board of Musselburgh RFC issued an apology to those who attended, saying: "We particularly wish to recognise and acknowledge the hurt caused to our women's team, who we are extremely proud of and to whom we are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment."
The club criticised the "very poor judgement of the speaker" and said he had sent a written apology.
In a statement issued at the same time, Scottish Rugby said it is "committed to equality, diversity and inclusion at every level of the game", adding: "There is no place for discriminatory behaviour in our sport, or in wider society."
BBC Scotland has approached Stewart and Alloa AFC for comment.

LEWIS HAMILTON KNOCKED BACK DESPITE F1 RESURGENCE
Lewis Hamilton sits second in the F1 drivers' standings, but is he a legitimate contender for the championship?

Lewis Hamilton has claimed two consecutive second-place finishes in F1, a new point since joining Ferrari at the start of last year.
That revival has carried the seven-time F1 drivers' champion to second in the 2026 standings, albeit 66 points adrift of leader Kimi Antonelli.
The fact that he stands two points ahead of George Russell in the other Mercedes is not insignificant, given the early dominance shown by the W17.
But his former team-mate has been besieged by issues and has endured some dreadful luck of late, and will still be considered the most likely driver to take the fight to Antonelli over the final 16 rounds of the campaign.
And, unfortunately for Hamilton, the majority of F1 fans do not believe he can mount a challenge for the elusive eighth F1 drivers' championship.
In a recent poll by RacingNews365, most respondents wagered that the combination of Antonelli and Mercedes — in the seat once occupied by Hamilton — would be too much for the Ferrari driver to overcome.
