Katherine Taylor, the escort who went viral at an NBA game, raises her rates to $1,500-an-hour and claims sports stars have been messaging her since Steph Curry photobomb picture

Katherine Taylor, the escort who unintentionally gained viral fame by photobombing Steph Curry during an NBA game, has increased her hourly rates from $900 to $1500 following her newfound notoriety.

TMZ reports that Taylor has received messages from several professional sports stars since her viral moment, although she has chosen not to disclose specific names. Residing in San Francisco, Taylor became a sensation when she was caught on camera joyfully celebrating Steph Curry’s ‘golf swing’ during a Golden State Warriors game.

Acknowledging her presence in the background on her Twitter page, Taylor humorously shared, “God… Best date of my life, as you can see. Fk me, remind me to come fully dressed next time. What a fking blast.” Although her Twitter account was briefly deactivated, it is now back online.

Reflecting on the unexpected attention, Taylor remarked earlier this week, “It is terrifying as a woman being in the same room as Steph Curry. I wasn’t even looking at the guy and caught smoke, f***. And if you are in any way shape or form above average hot, yes, please just don’t be in the same room with Steph Curry. Because you will be a meme.”

A user pointed out that in the viral picture, a man sitting in front of Taylor was looking back at her as she celebrated. He was assumed to be sitting next to his two sons. Taylor responded jokingly, “You’re about to get this man divorced. His wife is about to come home and take the kids, dog, and the hat lol.”

On the night Taylor was present, four-time NBA champion Curry led the Golden State Warriors to a 125-90 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, contributing 29 points, eight rebounds, and five assists. Ironically, Taylor is reported to be a Sacramento Kings fan rather than a Warriors supporter, according to TMZ.
