Taylor Swift is very much here for the dance moves of Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler.

Butler has long been open about his love for T-Swift and his tendency to listen to the Grammy Award-winning artist before games and practices. With that said, the guys at TNT's Inside The NBA tried to clown the Heat swingman for an old Instagram video of him dancing to Swift's song “22” on Wednesday.

Well, it looks like the joke is on Dwyane Wade and Co. as Swift herself chimed in on the clip, giving Butler a 13/10 for his moves.

Jimmy Butler has never been shy about revealing his depth or varied interests. After all, this is the same guy who enjoys his ventures in the wine business and started “Big Face Coffee” with the Heat in Orlando during the NBA restart.

Still, it's certainly nice to get some validation from Swift herself. Butler can tell D-Wade to throw his Aaron Gordon-esque “9” out the window.

The 31-year-old has had a strange season for a Heat team struggling to find rhythm. Butler is averaging 19.1 points to go along with career-high marks in both rebounds (7.8) and assists (7.7). He has also stayed aggressive in attacking the basket (8.0 free throws per game) while averaging 1.9 steals on the other end of the floor.

But despite Butler's production and another All-Star season from Bam Adebayo, the Heat are in a ditch. Miami ranks 10th in the NBA in 3-point attempts, but just 24th in three-point percentage. They are also turning the ball over a league-high 16.5 times per game.

Miami needs some momentum heading into the All-Star break. Perhaps this shoutout from Taylor Swift will give Butler an extra boost in the next couple weeks.
