Okay So Scooter Braun Just Explained Why He & Sydney Sweeney Were Rows Behind Taylor Swift At Knicks Game -- And It's Actually Heartwarming!

Scooter Braun Responds To All The Talk About Him & Sydney Sweeney Being Rows Behind Taylor Swift At Knicks Game!

Scooter Braun is addressing all the chatter about his appearance at Game 4 of the NBA Finals earlier this week!

On Wednesday night, the former manager attended the New York Knicks match against the San Antonio Spurs with girlfriend Sydney Sweeney! However, fans quickly noticed the couple wasn’t sitting courtside with the rest of the A-Listers, including Scooter’s arch nemesis Taylor Swift and her pals Alana and Este Haim and Mariska Hargitay!

Nope, they sat at least five rows behind the popstar! But still probably too close for comfort for Tay! Even he must have felt a bit awkward catching a glimpse of the singer during the game at times! Oof! See (below):

Well, Scooter wants to make one thing clear — the reason he and Syd didn’t sit front row at the game isn’t that they aren’t big enough celebrities (or because of Taylor)! They were with family! He clarified in the comments of a New York Post Instagram post:

“She surprised me with tickets in the same section with my pops and my brother so I could share it with them . Let’s keep things positive and get One more! Greatest game of all time. Cant stop smiling”

Scooter later shared highlights of the game with his dad and brother on his own Instagram account — and asked for the “negativity” to stop:

“Still buzzing and haven’t slept all night as that was one of the greatest nights of my life. That is what sports and basketball are all about. It brings people together. I don’t want to hear any negativity. To be able to share it with my dad and my brother is something I’ll never forget. Life time Knicks fans. Real ones knows what this means to us. We were there for it all. The ups and the downs. And we have loved it all. Thank you to the Knicks. Thank you to the Universe, thank you to God, and thank you to Syd for surprising us all with tickets in the same section so I could share it with them. And yes thank you to OG, Jalen, Jose, and the fellas! The Garden was rocking! One more!! San Antonio here we f**king come.”
