One actor was not too happy with Taylor Swift's attendance during the NBA Finals.

Hank Azaria was not excited about the superstar's appearance at Game 4 of the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs game in Madison Square Garden on June 10.

“I’ll tell you the one [person] that bothered me was Taylor Swift,” Azaria said on the “Dan Le Batard Show” Thursday, June 11. “Come on.”

The singer attended the game with the Haim sisters -- Alana, Este, and Danielle -- where they all wore matching shirts with different puns of celebrities such as "Stevie Knicks," "Knickole Kidman,"  and "Knickelback."

Azaria continued to complain: “I know she’s the hugest thing in the world, but we had to sit with her all through the NFL [to watch fiancé Travis Kelce] and now she’s at the Garden. Come on.”

While he did attend the historic 106-107 win by the Knicks, he shared that he sat  “way up in what they call the Cisco Suites, which are, like, the ceiling.” He was upset that Swift took up four courtside seats for herself, Alana, Este, and a bodyguard.  

The Simpsons star shared that he did buy courtside seats but ended up gifting them to two friends once he found out he scored free tickets. However, he later regretted the decision after he saw where he was sitting and “couldn’t switch with them.”

Swift, on the other hand, seemingly had a great time and was seen dancing and having a fun time with friends. During the game, she sat next to the Haim sisters, Mariska Hargitay, Spike Lee, Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, and others, all of whom also had the opportunity to see the Knicks make a historic 29-point comeback.

The Knicks and Spurs will be in Game 5 in San Antonio on Saturday, June 13. It's unclear if Swift will make the trek to San Antonio for the game. Tip-off will be at 8:30 pm ET.
