Taylor Swift has been getting the heat for her attendance to cheer on the New York Knicks at Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Long-time bestie Selena Gomez, 33, seemingly threw shade at Swift by commenting, “so funny how some are all the sudden fans though lol,” in response to the large celebrity presence at the Knicks’ legendary 29-point comeback to beat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4.

Gomez’s subtle jab at bandwagon fans was not received well; one fan posted, “selena, please! the desperation for attention is showing.” After supposedly waking up to a slew of public discourse about her comment, Gomez responded to defend herself, stating that she was not referring to Swift. “‘I would never insult my friends nor was it an insult.

The comment was a reaction to the first slide on the page,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Second I bet my friends on the game.

The friends in the text chain I posted.

I lost but was poking at my opponents, my friends.

Believe it or not I do have other friends in my life.

But quickly forget that most assume otherwise. also ..

It’s a basketball game.” Swift wasn’t the only A-lister sitting courtside on Wednesday; Kylie Jenner was there with boyfriend and lifelong Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet, as well as Hailey Bieber and Adam Sandler.

Swift has not responded publicly to the supposed shade.
