So it looks like it won’t be the Clippers, or the Lakers, who will get a banner up next in the Staples Center. Thanks to the Lakers great, Kobe Bryant, it will be Taylor Swift.
You may be sitting there pondering the reasoning for this, and yes, it is a little strange. Last night Kobe Bryant joined T.Swift on stage at her concert to unveil a banner for the very popular singer. Not only does Taylor have a banner in the hallowed halls of Staples for most sold out shows, but it has the honor of living next to the Lakers’ 16 Championship banners.
The AJC.com reports the following:
The show was Swift’s 12th at the venue, but when the run is over, she’ll have sold out 16 shows there, which is why the Lakers star was on stage: to present her with a banner for selling out the Staples Center the most of any artist.
