Kobe Bryant Surprises Taylor Swift With Staples Center Banner

However, Kobe Bryant’s big comeback should lend his helping hand to the Lakers aim for a playoff spot in the tough Western Conference run. Since before you knew what my album was gonna be called, we planned this tour, and I’ve been excited about these shows.

In case you’re wondering what makes Swift so deserving of her own banner at the Staples Center, her sold-out performance on Friday gave T-Swizzle the new arena record for most sold-out shows, with 16.

Really looking forward to when the neighboring Clippers cover up Swift’s new banner with a picture of Lance Stephenson.

“Me being up here means I am the coolest dad to my kids”, Bryant said onstage.

Here is the banner being unveiled to Swift. Another special guest during the concert was OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder. Christopher Polk/Getty Images for TAS Taylor Swift has set the record for the most sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.

Surprise appearances are becoming something of a tradition at Taylor Swift concerts.

Swift seems to have been having a ton of fun during her concert tour and it looks like the celebrities love to join her on and off stage too!

Proving she’s yet again an absolute STAR, Taylor allegedly turned down the mega-bucks wedding deal to instead perform for free at a christening. Click the gallery below to see who else showed up!

Matt LeBlanc (Saturday): Also not a natural fit for Taylor’s brand, but he’s such an odd choice that he pretty much guaranteed that people would be tweeting about the WTF-ness of it all, making him the unexpected MVP of Taylor’s weekend house of “Style”. Looking out at a sea of twinkling lights – fans arrived to find fancy wristbands taped to their seats, which were triggered remotely to flash different colors depending on the song – she encouraged everyone to hold onto the happy moments, not dwell on the bad.

The 25-year-old singer was completely floored with the honor given to her by the 5-time National Basketball Association champion.

After playing second fiddle to Shaq – and occasionally struggling to co-exist with his larger teammate – Bryant added two more titles as the clear alpha dog of the franchise.
