Taylor Swift got her own banner in the Staples Center before the Clippers.
On Friday night the pop megastar performed the first of five sold-out nights at the Staples Center, setting the record for "Most Sold Out Performances" in the history of the arena. Including last night and the next four nights, Swift set the record at 16 sold-out shows. Kobe Bryant, that other champion of Staples Center, made a surprise appearance to present her the banner:
Bryant walked on-stage just a few songs into her set, commanding the mic and telling her band to pipe down for the announcement, reports the L.A. Times. After all, a banner commemorating an ultra-specific record is important.

Ryan Tedder of One Republic also joined Swift onstage for a song, as the two duetted on his own hit, "Counting Stars."

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
