Oop! #Socialites, is ESPN anchor Stephen A. Smith a new Swiftie? The sports host recently sang Taylor Swift her praises after dropping $20,000 on tickets for himself, his daughters and friends.
While we used to hearing hot and opinionated takes on the biggest sports topics, it appears Smith is changing gears a bit as he hopped on his show this past week to seemingly let fans know that he has officially became a Swifite.
Smith give the pop star kudos on giving fans such a great show during her Los Angeles, California stop of her ‘The Eras Tour.’ Per Smith, he dropped $20,000 on tickets after his daughters asked several of their friends to join in on the concert.
The proud father not only covered his and his daughters’ Taylor Swift tickets, but also their friends, so between all 10 people, it broke down to $2,000 per person. Smith took to his digital show, ‘Stephen A. Smith Show,’ and recalled the experience. He began, “My man Mark Shapiro, he gave me two free tickets. Not only did I send my daughters back to the concert, daddy actually went with them. Me at a Taylor Swift concert. But I said I’m gonna go see her.”
Smith continued to explain how he got caught up shelling out $20k to see Swift. He said, “I have two daughters…Teenagers have friends. And so, when your dad is perceived as having money… and you got daughters that opened their mouths and promises them that daddy’s going to get them tickets…ladies and gentlemen I had to get ten tickets. Them damn things was $2,000 a piece. Two times ten is $20,000!”

Speaking specifically on Taylor Swift’s performance, Stephen A. Smith would go on to call it “the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life.” The new Swiftie not only praised the show as these best ever, but also said that Swift’s performance was “sensational.” And because of this alone, he said he would be more than ready to drop another bag to see the “Shake It Off” singer live in concert again.
The sports host and new Swiftie explained, “That’s the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life. Excuse my language, but that shit was off the chain. Taylor Swift brought the damn house down. I was jamming to Taylor Swift! She was sensational. I’d pay to see her again. Seriously, I’m not joking. She was a superstar that night. That girl is special.”
