Jimmy Butler was caught dancing like he's "22," and his moves got Taylor Swift's stamp of approval.
An old video of the professional basketball player -- and longtime Swiftie -- showing off his moves and singing along to the upbeat Red track in the locker room aired in an interview segment on TNT this week. Laughing, Dwyane Wade gave him a 9 out of 10.
Butler's reaction? "Y’all need to stay off my Instagram or wherever you got this from."

Butler once named "I Knew You Were Trouble," "Shake It Off" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" as his favorite Swift songs, though that list circa 2015 might have changed with time.

Katy Perry got fans excited about a possible collaboration with Taylor Swift during the most recent episode of "American Idol."
Swift and Perry were famously feuding for many years, with Swift even hinting that her song "Bad Blood" was inspired by her tiff with the singer. However, they famously buried the hatchet and have been on good terms with one another for a few years now. That’s why many "Idol" fans took notice when the singer offhandedly mentioned that she would be open to collaborating with Swift.
The latest episode was all about duets as contestants took the stage in pairs to compete for a spot in the next round. After singers Athea Grace and Camille Lamb performed a stunning cover of Lesley Gore’s classic hit "You Don’t Own Me," Perry gave them each top marks and sent them to the next round.
After they exited the stage, the singer mused to fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie that the performance made her think of what she and Swift could accomplish together.
"Can you imagine if Taylor and I work together, what we could do?" she said.
It took almost no time for fans to take to Twitter to encourage the hypothetical collaboration and note that the two artists have come a long way from their days of feuding.

Today is the fifth anniversary of one of the biggest gossip stories of the last decade – and I would make you guess but we always need a feature photo to go with every post so the image that’s attached to this has already given it away. But yes… five years ago today, it was a Wednesday, late in the afternoon, this happened: Those pictures went around the world, FAST. If you want to revisit the whole set, click here. Five years later and I’m still impressed at the quality of these shots. Let’s rewind and set the scene: these photos were taken at Taylor Swift’s property in Rhode Island, where she used to host #Taymerica, her then-annual Fourth of July celebration, which she has suspended, at least publicly, for the last five years. In fact, 2016 #Taymerica was so epic she hasn’t done it again since. Because, of course, two weeks after #Taymerica was the Day of the Receipts. The gossip that Taylor generated that summer was WILD. But this is not the anniversary we are observing. Today we are observing Taylor + Tom Hiddleston. Swift + Loki. SWOKI! It started a month prior at the Met Gala. They hung out all weekend and danced all night: http://instagram.com/p/BE8mCj3o_kP But Taylor was dating Calvin Harris at the time. Two weeks before Taylor and Tom’s Rhode Island pictures were taken though, Taylor and Calvin broke up and Calvin, hilariously, tried to get his story out there first, that he was the one who ended it because he’s a private person and Taylor was too public. Well. As she told us later in her song “Getaway Car”:

A California police officer played Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” in an attempt to prevent a Black Lives Matter activist from uploading a video to YouTube — in the belief that the platform’s copyright-detection system would block it.
It didn’t work.
In fact, the video in question was not only shared successfully on YouTube, it has gone viral — garnering widespread attention because of the controversy.
On June 29, BLM protesters gathered at the Alameda Country courthouse in Oakland, Calif., before a pretrial hearing for Jason Fletcher, a former police officer charged with murdering Steven Taylor, a Black man, inside a Walmart store in 2020.
As captured on video, an officer from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office confronted one of the protestors, James Burch of the Anti Police-Terror Project (APTP), to demand Burch remove his group’s banner. Burch questioned why the banner needed to be moved — before the cop takes out his mobile phone and starts playing the Swift song.
Burch, confused, says, “Are we having a dance party now?” The officer eventually admits, “You can record all you want. I just know it can’t be posted to YouTube.” Later, the officer, identified as Sgt. David Shelby, reiterates to Burch, “I’m playing my music so that you can’t post on YouTube.”
The video, available at this link, has been viewed more than 170,000 times since it was shared Thursday.
Free-speech advocates decried the attempt by a law enforcement official to use copyright law — even though unsuccessful — to try to avoid public scrutiny and try to thwart Americans’ First Amendment rights.
“This video of a police officer taking advantage of copyright laws to avoid accountability is the latest chilling example in a line of abuse that stretches back decades,” Lia Holland, campaigns and communications director at digital-rights group Fight for the Future, said in a statement. “The U.S. must fundamentally reform our archaic and corrupt copyright system to put the interests of artists and the public first in the digital era. The last thing we should be doing is giving copyright monopolies more power to abuse, and cops more tools to evade accountability.”
