"That’s the best concert I’ve ever been to in my life. Excuse my language but that s--- was off the chain. Taylor Swift brought the damn house down. I was jamming to Taylor Swift. She was sensational," Smith said on "The Stephen A. Smith Show."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I’d pay to see her again.
"Taylor Swift is a performer," Smith added. "She was a superstar that night. And I just have to take a moment to give her some love. That girl is special."
