The woman who inadvertently stole the spotlight during Steph Curry’s iconic golf celebration has been identified as Katherine Taylor, a San Francisco-based escort.
The viral moment occurred when Curry celebrated a shot against the Milwaukee Bucks, with Taylor cheering in the background.
Taylor, who charges $900 for one-hour experiences according to her website, revealed herself as the woman in the viral photo on Thursday. While her Twitter account has since been deleted, Taylor reposted the photo of the celebration with herself in the background and expressed excitement about the experience.
In her posts, Taylor joked about the attention the photo received and commented on the reaction of others in the image. She also humorously acknowledged the potential consequences of her presence in the photo, particularly for the man seated in front of her, who was seen looking back at her.
Despite the distraction, the Golden State Warriors went on to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks with Curry leading the way, scoring 29 points and contributing to the team’s victory. The win extended the Warriors’ recent success, as they have won eight of their last ten games and currently hold a 33-28 record, placing them tenth in the Western Conference standings.
