Taylor Swift is joined by NBA great Kobe Bryant during first night of her 1989 Tour in Los Angeles

Taylor Swift is usually the one bringing surprises to her concerts, but Kobe Bryant did the honours during Friday night's show. The 36-year-old basketball player was there to unveil a banner commemorating Taylor's five sold-out concerts at Los Angeles' Staples Center. 'The banner's up at Staples Center right now because WHAT IS LIFE EVEN,' wrote the 25-year-old singer after the show.
