Flavor Flav is a Swiftie! Rapper, 64, rocks a Taylor Swift T-shirt and shows off custom bracelets inspired by her songs as he attends the singer’s concert in Detroit
Flavor Flav often raps about life’s difficulties, but it seems that beneath his stern onstage appearance lies the heart of a Swiftie.
The 64-year-old Grammy winner, who recently shared cultured hip-hop roots with Harvard students, dressed like a true fan when he attended Taylor Swift’s concert in Detroit on Friday.
The He Got Game performer was decked out in a white T-shirt with “I Knew She Was Trouble” written on it, with “Trouble” highlighted in red.
It was a reference to Swift’s hit song, I Knew You Were Trouble.
He also wore a red jacket, red cap and large white-framed sunglasses for the show.
