Scooter Braun and Sydney Sweeney were painfully close to coming face-to-face with his nemesis Taylor Swift when they attended game four of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night.
Fans on social media spotted the couple sitting awkwardly close to Swift, who had courtside seats next to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay.
‘why am i just noticing Sc**** Br*** behind her,’ one shocked user noted on X while sharing a screenshot from a video posted by Entertainment Tonight.
Braun, 44, had posted about how excited he was for the game ahead of time, though he likely didn’t plan to nearly run into Swift, 36, after he set off their yearslong feud by buying up the rights to her master recordings.
The drama in the first few rows was nearly as intense as on the court, where the New York Knicks made a comeback for the ages after they were down by 29 points to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Knicks ended up clinching game four by a razor-thin 107–106, giving the team a 3–1 lead.

Swift, who was accompanied on her other side by her friends and squad mates Este and Alana Haim, had some fun at the game by wearing a shirt reading ‘Stevie Knicks’ in the team’s blue and orange color scheme.
The screenshot of Braun and Sweeney behind her indicated that they were about seven rows back and just behind a metal railing separating the more cushioned seats from the folding courtside chairs, and several seats to the right of where Swift sat.
Earlier on Wednesday, Braun shared a photo of himself and four other men, including his father, as they prepared for the showdown between the Knicks and the Spurs.
‘Game 4 at THE GARDEN,’ he wrote.
