WATCH: Russell Westbrook Makes Appearance at Taylor Swift Concert

In this story:
Taylor Swift recently took over Los Angeles, playing six nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. With nearly a full week of shows, Taylor gave her Southern California fans several opportunities to see her live. Amongst those in attendance at one of her recent SoFi shows was LA Clippers guard Russell Westbrook, who took in the concert with his wife Nina Westbrook:

In this Instagram story post by Nina Westbrook, the Clippers guard was seen singing "...Ready For It?" from Taylor Swift's reputation album. Those who have followed Westbrook for a while know that he is actually a big Taylor Swift fan, and has regularly recorded himself singing along to her music:

Taylor even shared a congratulatory message for Westbrook when he won the league MVP award in 2017, saying, "You are amazing, you're the MVP, I'm so happy for you. Sending you the biggest hug ever, congratulations."
It was a cool moment that the Oklahoma City Thunder shared on Twitter:

The Eras Tour has taken over every city it has come to so far, and the Los Angeles shows were some of the biggest. SoFi stadium has already been home to several major sporting and music events, but it's certainly hard to top what Taylor Swift did during her six nights there. For Russell Westbrook, it was another chance to see one of his favorites.
