T.Swift's first on-stage special guest was OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder, who co-wrote "Welcome to New York" and "I Know Places" on Swift's 1989 album. Tedder and Swift teamed up to performed his band's hit single "Counting Stars."
During her now famous "Style" catwalk, Taylor brought down the house, introducing Lakers star Kobe Bryant,
"Me being up here means I am the coolest dad to my kids," Bryant said onstage.
Bryant's appearance was extra significant, the NBA star pointed out, because the 25-year-old singer now has 16 sold-out at the Staples Center, the most of any artist.
"Sixteen is a very special number here in Los Angeles because 16 is the same amount of championships that we have as a Lakers franchise," Bryant told the crowd. "To celebrate those championships, we do something very special. We hang banners. That's what we do."
Bryant then surprised Swift with her own banner in the Staples Center rafters, celebrating her "Most Sold Out Performances."
