- A New York Knicks radio analyst was caught on a hot mike questioning Taylor Swift's bona fides as a fan of the team.

- "She's not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl," the broadcaster said.

- Social media users questioned how anyone in that role could *not *know Swift is a longtime fan.

Will Taylor Swift "Shake It Off" after a New York Knicks radio analyst was caught on camera disrespecting the pop superstar?

Swift attended Game 4 of the NBA finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night in a T-shirt reading "Stevie Knicks" when two announcers spoke about her, apparently without realizing their chat was being recorded on audio and video.

While broadcaster Tyler Murray tried to get a photo of the "Karma" singer for his wife, his colleague Monica McNutt questioned Swift's Knicks loyalty.

"She's not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl," McNutt said after she and Murray found Swift in the crowd at Madison Square Garden.

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…."

The Knicks won the game by 1 point, 107 to the Spurs' 106.
