Fortunately, the situation was quickly resolved thanks to some folks close to the Knicks.

"Then the other lady came over."

She emphasized that everyone, not just her, faced difficulties accessing the court amidst the celebration. "Honestly, EVERYBODY had a hard time getting onto the court at some point," she noted, adding that she wasn't about to force her way through the crowd.

In the end, the delay didn't last long. "Trust me, I had everything I needed to have," Taylor assured fans, clarifying that she made it onto the court within a minute of the incident being recorded. She wrapped up her message by confirming that she thoroughly enjoyed the celebration: "I had an absolute blast!"

"Still not over thissssss," she gushed, showing her pride in the team's achievement and her joy in the moment.
