Did You Miss It? Alicia Keys Performed ‘Empire State of Mind’ in Celebration of the New York Knicks’ NBA Finals Victory

Alicia Keys, the Queen of New York anthems, was the perfect choice to help celebrate the city’s biggest basketball moment in decades.

Full story below.

The performance came as the city continued to trumpet the New York Knicks’ championship run and their first NBA title in more than five decades with a parade.

Although she proudly supported the team throughout their entire playoff journey, Keys turned things up a notch when she took New York City Hall to perform the 2009 #1 hit ‘Empire State of Mind’ on Thursday (June 18).

Sans JAY-Z, Alicia was joined by thousands of energetic fans including Mayor Zohran Mamdani who gathered to honor the Knicks’ historic victory.
