Taylor Swift, who at age 12 sang the National Anthem before a Sixers game, speaking to Time Magazine about her favorite team, which let her sing when she was a kid, the Knicks:

I love them, though. Why does that matter? So you run into a bunch of different, interesting types of people at the Met Ball. I’ve gone the last four years. And the most normal people at that event, every single time, are Amar’e Stoudemire and his wife Alexis. I talk with them and hang with them every time I’m there. So I’ve always had this sort of love of the Knicks, just because Amar’e is so cool. And also I performed at the Knicks’—at Madison Square Garden’s—Kids Talent Competition at halftime when I was 12 or 13. And ever since then I’ve had this kind of sparkly, magical* opinion of Madison Square Garden and the Knicks, since they let me sing when I was a little kid.

Boo. We are never, ever… you know what? Never mind. Not even I can believe I’m writing this. Just shut it down.

*She totally would have a “sparkly, magical” opinion.
