Lip Reader Reveals What Taylor Swift Said to Fan at Knicks Game Before Security Pushed Them Away From Her
Taylor Swift was one of the many stars in attendance at Madison Square Garden for Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs.
The pop star sat alongside sisters Alana and Este Haim of the band HAIM and SVU actress Mariska Hargitay in the exclusive “celebrity row.
Swift wore a custom royal blue and orange T-shirt that read “Stevie Knicks” as a playful crossover honoring the team and the music icon. She paired the tee with Area’s Slit Jeans, and completed her courtside look with chain-trimmed Versace heels and a black Dior D-Motion bag.
Just before the game got underway, Swift was standing chatting casually with others while fans had their phones out to take pictures of her. When one fan got a little too close trying to get Swift in a photo with him, security was right there to lead the man away, but not before Swift turned and said something to him.
So what did the “Opalite” say? A professional lip reader is sharing what they observed.

Hickling told The Mirror that Swift exclaimed, “Hey, are you doing a selfie? … Hi.” The man didn’t get a chance to answer because security pushed him back.
It’s not known if he did get the shot he wanted of the superstar.
