Kobe Bryant was an incredible ambassador for the sport of basketball and a true representative of the Los Angeles Lakers. Kobe was a Laker for life, winning 5 championships across his 20 seasons in the NBA. And in 2016, he surprised pop icon Taylor Swift during a concert at the Staples Center.
A 2016 video of Kobe Bryant surprising Taylor Swift at her concert has recently gone viral. Kobe came out, hugged Taylor, and presented her with her very own banner in the rafters of the Staples Center, recognizing her for having the most sold-out shows by any artist in the history of the Staples Center.

Swift was clearly touched by the gift and showed Kobe her appreciation. Bryant, who was such a symbol for the city of LA, was the perfect person to present Swift with such an honor. And he clearly seemed thrilled for her, as their interactions came across as extremely warm and friendly.
Kobe Bryant Was Popular Among Musicians
While this interaction was truly wholesome to witness, it is far from the only experience Kobe Bryant had with famous musicians. After his rookie season, Kobe Bryant received a phone call from none other than Michael Jackson. The King of Pop gave him some great advice as Kobe embarked on his legendary career.
Despite Bryant being popular among the greats of the music world, during his playing days, his focus would always be on the court. Kobe was one of the most driven people in NBA history and wanted to fight to the very end to be the most successful player and a champion at the end of the season.
Bryant will always be remembered as the biggest legend in LA and the greatest Los Angeles Laker of all time.
