Vancouver Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk has been making headlines on and off the ice lately. With the team’s busy schedule and a crucial stretch of games coming up, DeBrusk had to make a tough decision regarding his attendance at Taylor Swift’s concert on Saturday. The Canucks are set to face off against the Calgary Flames on Friday, and with a quick turnaround, DeBrusk knew he had to prioritize his team’s needs.
However, DeBrusk is also a self-proclaimed Swiftie and has been a fan of the pop star for years. He has often spoken about how Swift’s music helps him get pumped up before games, and he even has a few of her songs on his pre-game playlist. With Swift’s concert scheduled for Saturday, DeBrusk knew he had to make a decision quickly.
“I’ve been a huge fan of Taylor Swift for years, and I’ve always wanted to see her live,” DeBrusk said in an interview. “But at the same time, I know that our team has a big game coming up on Friday, and I need to make sure I’m focused and ready to go.”
After weighing his options, DeBrusk ultimately decided to attend the concert. However, he made sure to get permission from the team first and promised to get plenty of rest before the game on Friday.
“I talked to the coaches and the trainers, and they gave me the okay to go to the concert,” DeBrusk explained. “I know it’s a quick turnaround, but I’m confident that I can get plenty of rest and be ready to go for the game on Friday.”
DeBrusk’s decision to attend the concert may come as a surprise to some, but it’s clear that he’s a dedicated fan. He’s even been known to belt out Swift’s hits in the locker room, much to the amusement of his teammates.
“Jake’s a huge Swiftie, and we all know it,” said Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes. “We’re always giving him a hard time about it, but at the end of the day, we’re all just happy to see him happy.”
While DeBrusk’s attendance at the concert may be a distraction for some, it’s clear that he’s prioritizing his team’s needs. He knows that the Canucks have a big game coming up, and he’s committed to being ready.
“I’m excited to see Taylor Swift live, but I’m also excited to get back on the ice and help my team win,” DeBrusk said. “It’s going to be a fun night, but I know I have to stay focused and be ready to go for the game on Friday.”
With DeBrusk’s decision made, the question on everyone’s mind is: will he be singing along to Swift’s hits on Saturday? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: DeBrusk is a true Swiftie at heart.
