You know when a player is suiting up before a game or warming up? Whenever they wear earphones or headphones. Do you ever wonder what they’re listening to?
What did Russell Westbrook listen to before one of his many monster triple double nights? What did Klay Thompson jam to before that stupid 3rd quarter explosion? It’s always interesting to ponder the players and their preferred playlists.
Jimmy Butler has good nights. And apparently we have to thank Taylor Swift of all artists. That’s right. According to ProBasketballTalk, Jimmy Butler rocks to Taylor Swift. Who knew!
“I get my own playlist in warmups sometimes,” Butler told ProBasketballTalk. “My teammates don’t like it very much because it’s country music, but they get over it.”
Country? Yes. Starting with Taylor Swift.
“I like Taylor Swift,” Butler said. “I like music as a whole, but her music is kinda catchy. I’m sure she’ll hear this interview now and be like ‘what’s going on?’”
So what’s on his playlist?
“I like country music. I listen to a little hip-hop,” Butler told us. “But I try to listen to people I’ve gained relationships with over the years, so whether it’s Ludacris or Lee Brice or Jason Aldean, whoever it is I try to support them just like they support me.”
Yes of course he mixes it up a little. But Taylor Swift? Why? I mean I can ask that to all of her fans but I consider that a tad random.
