Taylor Swift's bottomless thirst for attention, her greed and sheer tackiness are now truly unbearable... this latest stunt has shown her true colors: MAUREEN CALLAHAN

The backlash can't come soon enough.

Not content with the highest-grossing tour ever (north of $2 billion), or the top-grossing concert film ever (more than $250 million), or all manner of record-breaking chart appearances, Taylor Swift has made herself and her forthcoming wedding to Travis Kelce inescapable.

But not before she attempted to hijack the biggest American sports story in modern history — the New York Knicks securing their first NBA championship in 53 years — by making a spectacle of herself courtside during Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, rumored site of her wedding.

Sources told TMZ on Tuesday that she's having a 'massive stage' built at a warehouse in Pennsylvania for the nuptials at MSG — chosen for 'privacy'.

Or, as the Daily Mail reports, is the MSG story a lie meant to throw the press — whose coverage Swift can't breathe without — off the scent?

'Taylor's official wedding will not have 1,000 guests,' one insider told us. 'There is a private and highly secure ceremony planned for her closest family and friends. Guests of the wider party have been encouraged to donate gifts to charity but her actual wedding will be a small, intimate gathering. There is something [else] associated with MSG.'

The latest rumors have Swift throwing a 'wedding tour', and/or four days of celebrations. One source close to Brittany Mahomes, wife of Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick, says Brittany will be 'out of town' for July 4 weekend and won't be able to post anything to social media — anything — until July 8.

And if Swift really is getting married over the Fourth of July weekend, she will doubtless consider herself as overshadowing America's 250th birthday celebration and President Trump himself.

It's enough. Truly, we have had enough.

Taylor Swift has made herself and her forthcoming wedding to Travis Kelce inescapable. But not before she somehow managed to hijack the biggest American sports story in modern history.

If Swift really is getting married over the Fourth of July weekend, she will doubtless consider herself as overshadowing America's 250th birthday celebration and President Trump himself.

Is she for real with this MSG nonsense? Is this an epic troll, or an unprecedented act of malignant narcissism?

Note that the media talks about this extravaganza, one with all the taste and discernment of a monster truck rally, as 'Taylor's wedding'.

It's easy to forget that Travis Kelce is a football great and a future Hall of Famer.

Especially when they release videos of Taylor making airplane noises and spoon-feeding Travis like a baby, as they did during a live taping of his New Heights podcast on Monday.

And it's beyond insulting to feign any kind of desire for privacy when you can't exit the spotlight for a single moment.

Paparazzi photographed Swift entering and exiting Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan on Monday night and early the next morning — paps surely called by Swift's camp.

Photographers don't just hang out, randomly hoping to spot a celeb. They're alerted, just as they seem to be when Swift goes out to dinner, often holding hands with her BFFs of the moment or arranging herself dead center, flanked by minions on either side, as she now does with the supremely mediocre Haim sisters.

It's exhausting. Utterly, completely, unbearably exhausting.

Has she never heard the phrase 'familiarity breeds contempt'?

Or does Swift simply think she's that special, that culturally indispensable, that the public will never grow tired of her and her juvenile antics?

Taylor Swift is a 36-year-old woman who still has a 'girl squad', who exacts revenge on famous ex-boyfriends in song, and who seems constantly engaged in some celebrity friendship break-up more suited to middle school than middle age.

The bust-up with her one-time BFF Blake Lively — and what we've learned about the real Taylor through texts and emails released as part of Lively's lawsuit against Justin Baldoni — have arguably threatened to demolish Swift's perfectly curated, expertly tended reputation.

Turns out she's not such a good girl after all. Or even a girl's girl.

Swift has long been accused of blocking other female artists such as Billie Eilish, Charli XCX and Olivia Rodrigo from debuting at No.1 by intentionally releasing new versions of pre-existing songs.

She also reportedly strong-armed Rodrigo, who says she grew up idolizing Swift, into retroactively giving her a co-writing credit on her song 'Deja Vu' after comparisons were made to Swift's music — a move that cost Rodrigo dearly in her young career.

'Bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire,' was just one later lyric of Rodrigo's that fans widely speculated was aimed at Swift — who is a self-made billionaire.

And these: 'Every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news / You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called them crazy too.'

There is no shortage of famous friends left in Swift's wake: Karlie Kloss, Lorde, Dianna Agron and, most recently, Lively and Keleigh Teller, wife of actor Miles.

Note that the media talks about this extravaganza, one with all the taste and discernment of a monster truck rally, as 'Taylor's wedding'. It's easy to forget that Travis Kelce is a football great and a future Hall of Famer.

Sources tell the Daily Mail that Lively and Keleigh were fighting to be No.1 in Taylor's friend group — a dynamic that plays out with Swift so often some might think she encourages it. The end for Keleigh, we're told, came after Swift failed to call, or even text, when the Tellers lost their house in the Pacific Palisades wildfires last year.

'When Keleigh and Miles's house burned down in the fires and Taylor didn't call or check in at all, Keleigh just let the friendship go,' a source said. 'That was the nail in the coffin.'

The Tellers are said to be off the wedding guest list.

As for Blake Lively, who called Swift her 'dragon' during her battle with Justin Baldoni? Whose texts, according to court documents, revealed that Swift called Baldoni a 'bitch' and reportedly referred to herself as Lively's 'doll'?

Well, Swift's camp hasn't yet denied that Lively, who has since settled that lawsuit with Baldoni, may just be back on the guest list.

Here's hoping she is — because Swift embracing Lively, after all of this, will show us exactly who she is and what she values.

And that, hopefully, will be the beginning of the end of Taylor Swift.
