Flavor Flav proves he’s a devoted Swiftie as he attends the world premiere of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert film in LA… before trading a friendship bracelet with Taylor’s DAD

He is a member of one of the most influential and acclaimed rap groups of all time.

But Flavor Flav showed he’s a big Swiftie too when he got a choice invite to the world premiere of Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert film.

The Public Enemy hype man showed off his bling and trademark watch necklace as he posed on the red carpet at the high-profile event, which saw the 33-year-old singer-songwriter shut down Los Angeles’ high-end outdoor mall The Grove for the entire Wednesday.

He previously showed he’s a big fan of Taylor in June, when he attended her Eras Tour stop in Detroit while decked out in custom beaded bracelets inspired by her songs.

The 64-year-old rapper (real name: William Jonathan Drayton Jr.) rocked an all-black look as he posed on the red carpet.

Swiftie supreme! Flavor Flav, 64, showed he’s a big Swiftie when he attended the premiere of her Eras Tour concert film at The Grove in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Grand entrance: Taylor showed her new film at all 14 screens on the AMC Theater at The Grove for 2,200 lucky fans

Flavor Flav wore a black graphic T-shirt emblazoned on the chest with white faded text, and he accessorized the shirt with black vinyl pants.

He jazzed up the dark ensemble a bit with sneakers adorned with sparkling silver glitter, and he wore a black New York Yankees cap turned to the side.

The rapper covered up with skinny white sunglasses, and he had several necklaces hanging from his neck, including a black embellished version of his iconic watch.

He added some extra glamor with two opulent luxury wristwatches, with one worn on each wrist.

Taking to Instagram, Flavor Flav revealed that he ran into Taylor’s father, Scott Swift, in the lobby of the AMC Theater at The Grove, which used all 14 of its theaters to play her film at the same time.

In the short clip, the music icon shook hands with Taylor’s father before exchanging friendship bracelets, with Scott giving him a colorful bracelet while Flavor Flav traded him for a sharper all-black design to match his outfit .

‘FLAVOR FLAV::: Made the Friendship Bracelets and traded them with #PapaSwift,,, you can call him Flavor Flav now!!!’ he joked in his caption. ‘Congratulations on changing the entertainment industry #TaylorSwift #tstheerastourfilm.’

Taylor’s new film could have a huge impact on the film and theatrical distribution industry, as she took an unusual route to get it to theaters.

The documentary was a major coup for AMC, as Taylor negotiated directly with the theater chain to serve as her film’s distributor – bypassing the usual middleman – after she and her family became frustrated with the demands of distributors she worked with has.

All AMC theaters in the US will show the documentary when it debuts Friday, and AMC has also worked out contracts with rival theater chains to allow them to show the film as well.

The movie is also not eligible for AMC’s A-list subscription plan, and the tickets are more expensive than usual, meaning the theater chain — and Taylor — will make an even bigger pile of cash than usual.

Scott is regularly involved in Taylor’s business arrangements, so he likely had a hand in the innovative arrangement.

For Wednesday’s premiere, Taylor was able to shut down the entire outdoor mall The Grove for the day, and police and firefighters were on hand to watch for trouble and make sure no one entered the massive complex without a ticket. .

Rick Caruso, who owns The Grove, will pay stores that had to close for the day for lost revenue, according to TMZ.

A total of 2,200 fans were invited to the premiere.

It wasn’t initially clear if Taylor would attend, but she made a grand entrance in a stunning powder blue dress with striking cutouts and banana leaf-like designs embroidered into the skirt.
