Braun, accompanied by girlfriend Sydney Sweeney, settled in three rows back from Swift, who was courtside with Este and Alana Haim, sporting a blue shirt that read “Stevie Knicks.” A barricade separated the two parties, heightening the tension.
Earlier that day, Braun shared a photo on Instagram Stories featuring himself and his father at the iconic venue, captioning it, “Game 4 at THE GARDEN.”
The 44-year-old Braun has been a die-hard Knicks fan, posting videos of himself cheering for the team throughout their playoff journey.
Swift, 36, has shown her allegiance to the Knicks over the years, attending games and donning team merchandise. Last month, she was spotted at a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with fiancé Travis Kelce.

The feud between Braun and Swift ignited in 2019 when he acquired the rights to her first six albums—“Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation”—from Big Machine Records without her consent.
Swift publicly condemned Braun in a blistering Tumblr post, accusing him of bullying her through his high-profile clients Justin Bieber and Kanye West.
During a recent appearance on the “Second Thought” podcast, Braun downplayed their conflict, stating, “I don’t know Taylor Swift. I think I’ve met her in my life three times.”
He claimed he never had a meaningful conversation with her, asserting, “I will never truly understand that situation to this day. I wish her nothing but the best.”
Braun recounted an instance where Swift allegedly invited him to a private party and expressed her respect for him, but insisted their interactions were minimal.
“People are usually shocked to find out that I legitimately don’t know her and didn’t have many interactions with her and never really knew her,” he said.
He acknowledged that the feud transformed him into a villain overnight but claimed he learned valuable lessons from the experience.
