Kobe Bryant Presents Taylor Swift Her Own Banner At Staples Center
Taylor Swift receives a banner from Kobe Bryant honoring her for all her sold-out shows. I see some erotic sci-fi musical numbers in her Litchfield future.
Upon hearing about the record, Swift expressed her excitement, saying that she would “pass out” and later adding: “not gonna be able to sleep tonight or ever again and I’m going to celebrate today every year as a holiday”.
“That moment when @UzoAduba comes out and sings “White Horse” and makes everyone in the arena fall in love with her”, Swift tweeted.
That’s because by the time the “Shake It Off” songstress completes the fifth sold-out show on Wednesday, August 26, she’ll have played a total of 16 full-capacity performances at the venue, which is more than any other performer has done in the history of Staples Center.
Historic is right! The 25-year-old is the first artist to have racked up 16 sold-out shows at the Staples Center, an unprecedented accomplishment that brought a whole slew of celebrities to the stage last night. “One Republic” singer Ryan Tedder already had joined Swift on stage. It is Swift’s ability to connect with her fans on a personal level that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries.
Blige said there was some discussion over which single song of hers to collaborate on before they came to the obvious conclusion. The audience went wild seeing Mary bumping sides with Taylor during their performance and Taylor even said “you know we got to get it crunk”. During Taylor’s performance of “Style,” Chris Rock, Matt LeBlanc and model Sean O’Pry, who was featured in Tay’s “Blank Space” music video, joined the stage. Since before you knew what my album was gonna be called, we planned this tour, and I’ve been excited about these shows. Australia’s Joy represents the singer-songwriter side of her past on numbers such as “Mess Is Mine” and his ukulele-driven hit “Riptide”.
As for the requisite catwalk of the night during “Style”, that belonged to three guys on this particular night.
