Taylor Swift surprised by Kobe Bryant

The crowd went wild (pfft lol, no they didn’t).

TSwift then brought out Mary J. Blige to sing Blige’s songs “Doubt” and “Family Affair.” Christopher Polk/Getty Images for TAS Taylor Swift has set the record for the most sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. This time, “Crazy Eyes” actually got to show off her insane voice, sitting down for a full-on acoustic duet of one of the rare Swift oldies of the night, “White Horse“. For “I Know Places” she and the dancers used a dozen doors on rolling wheels to create an ever-moving dramatic tableau for the song to unfold.

Uzo Aduba (Saturday): Also there to perform with Taylor rather than merely join her collection of celebrity besties, so while she’s an wonderful and perfectly current actress for Swift to absorb, she avoids direct comparison to Julia Roberts, Joan Baez, or the U.S. women’s soccer team.

In honor of Kobe Bryant’s 37th birthday and 20th season in the National Basketball Association, let’s take a look back at some of Kobe’s greatest games in the National Basketball Association.

“It was just attractive singing with her, because she has a handsome, strong voice and an awesome soul”.

The recognition was extra special because it was given on the first of her five-night, sold out “1989” shows at the Staples Center.

The country singer-turned-pop superstar performed a shimmering show at the Staples Center Monday night.

In Taylor’s previous 1989 Tour performances, she’s shocked concert goers with surpise star guests.

Blige admitted that she accepted Swift’s invitation because she has always been a fan of Swift.

Swift has made a regular feature of the surprise guest on her stage, and Friday it was Ryan Tedder, the One Republic frontman who also worked on “1989” as a producer and songwriter. Maybe Swift didn’t know she was coming? “It’s so incredible to put two year of your life into something and show up in L.A. and see you’ve got every single word memorized”, Swift told fans. “So I asked her if she could sing it with me, and she said yes”. During “Style,” Swift welcomed comedian Ellen DeGeneres, who sported a glimmering tutu over a silver jumpsuit, on stage.
