Scooter Braun sat feet from Taylor Swift at the Knicks game and yeah, it was awkward
Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney were seated close to Taylor Swift at the NBA Finals. The awkward seating arrangement had everyone talking.
So Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney showed up to game four of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night, and—plot twist—they were basically sitting next to Taylor Swift the whole time. We're talking uncomfortably close. Like, if someone sneezed, they'd all feel it.
For anyone who's been living under a rock, Braun and Swift have had beef for years. The whole thing started when his company Tha Dot purchased the master recordings of her early albums back in 2019, which she was not thrilled about. She's been pretty vocal about it since then, so the idea of them being separated by just a few feet at one of the biggest basketball games of the year? That's the kind of awkward nobody asked for.
Sweeney was there too, which added another layer of weirdness to the whole scene. The three of them in the same vicinity, trying to enjoy the game, probably very aware of each other's presence. You can't help but wonder if anyone actually watched the basketball or if everyone was just thinking about the elephant in the room.
The NBA Finals aren't exactly a low-key event either. There's cameras everywhere, fans screaming, celebrities trying to look cool. So this wasn't some quiet, private situation where nobody would notice. People definitely clocked it.
No word on whether they actually made eye contact or if there was any kind of interaction. Honestly, they probably just kept their eyes on the court and pretended the other person didn't exist. It's the celebrity equivalent of running into your ex at the grocery store and suddenly becoming very interested in the cereal aisle.
Whether this was pure coincidence or someone's idea of a test, it happened. And it definitely gave people something to talk about besides the actual game.
