Pop singer Taylor Swift brings the best out of everyone with her new hit singles, and Bulls guard Jimmy Butler has grown fond of her.
Butler told Rolling Stone he’s a Taylor Swift fan and he’ll see her concert in San Diego.
Jimmy Butler calls Chicago his ‘home’You’re also a Taylor Swift fan, right? I am a T-Swift fan. I’m going to see her in San Diego in August. I’m not going to say I’m gonna be in the back screaming but…I didn’t say I wouldn’t. Will it be the first time you’re seeing her? In concert, yeah. She’s a Knicks fan so whenever we play the Knicks I just go up to her and say, Hey, you know, I listen to your music and she’s like, Oh, well I watch you play basketball. Do you play a little harder when she’s in the house? Nah, I just play no matter who is there. The hardest people to play in front of are my brothers and friends from childhood, because I can never take them seriously. I know when they’re sitting in the stands; it’s constant jokes. They’re just waiting on me to shoot an air ball or dribble the ball off my foot so they can laugh. If it’s another celebrity, I’m just out there doing what they do, putting on a show.
After a game, Butler was seen dancing in the locker room to Swift’s “22.”
At Butler’s press conference for NBA’s Most Improved Player Award, the Bulls guard sang Swift’s hit single “Shake it off.”
Butler got the lyrics a little wrong, but Swift was happy the Bulls guard gave her a shoutout.
