Hank Azaria revealed why Taylor Swift's headline-grabbing appearance at the Knicks game bothered him. The 62-year-old actor, not pleased that the pop star had been given courtside seats for Game 4 of the NBA Finals, watched the crucial game in less favorable seats alongside celebrities Rainn Wilson, Jeremy Strong, and Questlove. Notably, the Knicks won the pivotal game and advanced to the next round, and eventually won the NBA Championship.
Hank Azaria slammed Taylor Swift's appearance at the Knicks Game 4. Swift attended the star-studded game with her friends Alana and Este Haim on Wednesday. He made an appearance on The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz on Thursday. There, he commented, "It was crazy in there, celebrity-wise."
Azaria proceeded to confess that he was "bothered" by the "Opalite" crooner's presence there. "I'll tell you the one that bothered me was Taylor Swift. Come on. I know she's the hugest thing in the world, but we had to sit with her all through the NFL, and now she's at the Garden," he added.
Furthermore, Azaria explained that he found Swift's presence at the game "ridiculous". He dished that it is even challenging for celebrity fans to get complimentary tickets to games at Madison Square Garden. The Simpsons star shared, "You don't know from the Garden if you're going to get in until that day. If you're Ben Stiller or Tracy Morgan, you know. I think Spike [Lee] actually pays for his tickets. So they don't let you know until the day of because there's such high demand."
Azaria added about the seating arrangement, "Celebrities are scattered throughout the entire Garden. You only see the A+ list down at the bottom. Everybody else is stuck wherever." The actor admitted he was "just happy to be in there," though he would have preferred better seats with a clear view.
