The Taylor Swift Banner Has Finally Been Removed from the Staples Center

Curses are a funny thing.  For people who believe in  them, they truly feel their team won’t be able to win as long as the curse is in play. The banner hanging from the rafters for the pop star Taylor Swift at the Staples Center has finally been pulled down following Kings fans complaining it was jinxing their performance. Back in October 2019, the banner was covered up during home games after fan started chirping.

“The connection to our fans is our highest priority and through our engagement, they have made it clear that the banner shouldn’t be part of their Kings game experience,” Michael Altieri, senior VP of marketing, communications, and content for the Kings and AEG Sports, previously told the Los Angeles Times. “We didn’t see an issue in covering it for our games and in fact see it as an opportunity to show our fans that we hear them.”

This was long overdue.  No one needs a banner up acknowledging sold out shows. Whomever thought this was a good idea should be fired, if they haven’t been let go already for this egregious blunder.
