Selena Gomez Sparks Debate Watching Knicks Game at Beyoncé’s Concert

Selena Gomez had fans buzzing after her recent Instagram story on Tuesday night. While many celebrities gathered in Indianapolis for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Gomez chose a different kind of evening. She was in New Orleans, attending Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour.

But it’s what she did during the concert that really caught people’s attention.

Watching the Knicks Courtside… from a Phone

In her story, Selena posted a clip of herself watching the New York Knicks play the Indiana Pacers. The twist? She was doing it from a phone while seated in a private suite at Beyoncé’s concert. The post made its rounds quickly.

Some fans thought it was funny. Others were shocked she chose to tune in to basketball while at one of the biggest tours in the world. A few even questioned her loyalty. Why show up to the concert at all if she was going to be glued to a game instead?

The Knicks Fell Behind in the Series

While Selena was balancing basketball and Beyoncé, the Knicks were struggling on the court. They lost Game 4 to the Pacers 130-121, dropping to a 3-1 deficit in the series.

The timing made her post stand out even more. With the team now on the brink of elimination, fans are tense. For some, Gomez’s post came off as a distraction. One fan online even said she was “putting herself in a poor position” by sharing that moment.

Selena’s Love for the Knicks Runs Deep

Despite being born in Texas, Selena Gomez has been a longtime supporter of the Knicks. She’s shown up courtside in New York across multiple seasons and playoff runs. She’s even attended games with fellow celebrities like Benny Blanco.

While bigger Knicks fans like Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet grab headlines, Gomez is quietly consistent. She’s been there. And she expects a lot from her team, like many other fans.

All Eyes on Game 5 at Madison Square Garden

Now the Knicks are facing their biggest challenge yet. Down 3-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals, they’ll need to win three straight to keep their season alive. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns haven’t lived up to expectations so far, while Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers are bringing the pressure.

Game 5 tips off Thursday at 8:00 p.m. ET in New York. Madison Square Garden will be packed with hopeful fans, and you can expect Selena to be one of them. Whether or not she posts about it this time is another story.

Love her or not, one thing’s for sure — Selena Gomez’s Knicks fandom is real. Even if it means watching from a phone in the middle of a concert.
