Taylor Swift saw a video of Steve Kerr quietly slipping her lyrics into NBA<\/a> press conferences \u2014 and wanted to post it.<\/p>\n

According to an ESPN feature by Wright Thompson<\/a>, the Golden State Warriors<\/a> coach spent the 2022\u201323 season working lines from Swift\u2019s \u201cAll Too Well\u201d into his postgame answers, unnoticed at the time.<\/p>\n

Swift later came across a compilation of the clips through a mutual friend and, according to ESPN, found it \u201ccreative and funny.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWait, is this real?\u201d Taylor asked.<\/p>\n

She asked if she could share the video publicly. Kerr declined, and it remains private.<\/p>\n

Steve Kerr Used Taylor Swift Lyrics Throughout 2022\u201323 Season\"Steve<\/p>\n

Kerr began the exercise with what sounded like a routine line after a March 2023 win over the Houston Rockets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI walked through the door of the locker room at halftime,\u201d he said \u2014 also the opening lyric of \u201cAll Too Well.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Kerr kept going. He threaded additional lines into press conferences over the course of the season, checking them off privately as he went, Thompson reported. The phrases blended into standard basketball breakdowns and passed without notice, even as they accumulated over months of interviews and media sessions.<\/p>\n

Kerr\u2019s son, Matthew, later compiled the quotes into a single video, creating the effect of the coach reciting the song in full across multiple interviews. The project, initially shared among family, eventually reached Swift and brought renewed attention to the story.<\/p>\n

Warriors Season During Kerr\u2019s Taylor Swift Experiment<\/p>\n

The lyric experiment unfolded during the 2022\u201323 season, when the Golden State Warriors were defending their 2022 championship.<\/p>\n

Golden State finished 44-38, earning the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. The team struggled with inconsistency throughout the season, particularly on the road, where it posted one of the league\u2019s worst records among playoff teams.<\/p>\n

Despite those challenges, the Warriors advanced to the second round before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in six games, ending their title defense.<\/p>\n

Steve Kerr\u2019s Coaching Resume, Contract Extension<\/p>\n

Kerr, 60, recently agreed to a two-year contract extension to remain with Golden State, continuing one of the most successful coaching runs in modern NBA history.<\/p>\n

He has led the Warriors to four championships and six Finals appearances, compiling a 604-353 regular-season record and a 104-48 playoff mark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful for the opportunity to continue coaching this team,\u201d Kerr said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Warriors Look Ahead After Injury-Plagued Season\"Head<\/p>\n

Golden State is coming off a 37-45 season that ended in the play-in tournament, marking the second time in three years the team missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The Warriors dealt with multiple injuries, including extended absences for Stephen Curry<\/a> and a season-ending knee injury to Jimmy Butler<\/a>. Moses Moody<\/a> also underwent knee surgery late in the season.<\/p>\n

What went unnoticed during that earlier championship defense has since taken on a different life \u2014 a coach, a long season, a song and a Swiftie hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n
