Taylor Swift spent time with a surprising friend at the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden (MSG) on Wednesday night.
The pop star, 36, who is rumored to be marrying at the venue, was seated courtside, with 62-year-old actress Mariska Hargitay to her left.
The stars wore matching blue and orange ‘Stevie Knicks’ T-shirts while watching the New York Knicks face off in Game Four against the San Antonio Spurs.
Hargitay previously appeared in Swift’s 2015 Bad Blood music video.
Sitting with the women were musicians Alana and Este Haim, who wore similar blue and orange Knicks-inspired shirts.
Alana’s had the word ‘Knickelback’ printed across it, while Este’s said ‘Knicole Kidman.’

One of the singer’s cats was named after Hargitay’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit character Olivia Benson.
In a notable twist, Hargitay later adopted a cat and named it Karma, in a nod to Swift’s song from her 2022 album Midnights.
‘Karma is a Cat @taylorswift Meet Karma. My Cat,’ the actress wrote in an Instagram post at the time, adding, ‘#MeAndKarmaVibeLikeThat #AndIKeepMySideOfMyPawClean #KarmaIsACat.’
Swift joined the comments to write: ‘Are you serious?!!!! Nothing has ever come more full circle ⭕️ LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!’
Hargitay could possibly be on the guest list for Swift’s upcoming nuptials to Travis Kelce.

Does age really matter when it comes to genuine friendships among celebrities?
An insider exclusively told the Daily Mail that the couple will marry at Madison Square Garden, as they have decided to ’embrace the spectacle’ of a giant wedding.
The sprawling and storied venue is best known for concerts and professional sporting events, and can hold up to 22,000 people.
However, it is unclear just how many people will be invited.
‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ the lovebirds captioned a joint Instagram post announcing their engagement in September last year.
Page Six reported in April that businessman Michael Rubin has moved his annual July 4 bash so it doesn’t coincide with the couple’s wedding.
Rubin is said to have bumped his party to July 1 amid reports that the power couple will marry in New York during Independence Day weekend.
