Upon receiving his Most Valuable Player award on Monday night, Russell Westbrook was immediately showered with congratulations from many stars — one of them, Taylor Swift.

The country/pop singer sang some praise to the Oklahoma City Thunder guard, despite failing miserably at making it a comical congratulatory bit during the first half of it.

Westbrook has been a notable Swift fan, whether it is him jamming to “Bad Blood” in his car or attending some of her concerts.

Only fair she returned the love in one of his biggest days of the year. Cheers to the MVP.
