Taylor Swift, or T-Swizzy as the cool kids are calling her, has been at the forefront of all things New York City this past week. She was named the city's "global welcome ambassador" and dropped a track called "Welcome to New York," which probably most definitely made Jay-Z spit up his morning chai latte. She then sat courtside as the New York Knicks got blown out by the Chicago Bulls in their home opener, but even that couldn't deter her from throwing on a Knicks jersey and throwing down the most timid dunk you'll ever see with the help of Amar'e Stoudemire.

Look, getting to dunk, in Madison Square Garden no less, would be a thrill for anyone. But Swift's whole reaction afterwards, the "lol oh my gosh you guys did you see what I just did? That's like totally sports and stuff!" must have had Skylar Diggins shaking her head somewhere. In her short-shorts, oversized head band and toddler sized jersey, it just all comes off incredibly hokey.
