Arkansas menโs college basketball coach John Calipari was too intimidated to approach pop megastar Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks-Spurs Game 4 of the NBA Finals earlier this year.
During an interview on the โEye on College Basketballโ podcast on Thursday, Calipari explained that he was embarrassed to go up to Swift and acted like he was on his phone.
โIโm in the back corner just kind of watching, and Taylor Swift was there,โ Calipari said, painting a picture of a star-studded โdugoutโ area where celebrities were mingling at the game. โI was embarrassed to go up to her. She was talking to whoever she was talking to, Adam Sandler and his wife [Jackie].
