Swift's concert campaign was quite successful before, but Hansen was worried for Swift, as her songs were mostly love songs. Singing love songs at the NBA All-Star game, now that seemed out of place.
Yet, Swift's final choice of song was breathtaking; she chose a song that Hansen had heard but didn't remember well: "Change."
The theme of this song, just like its title, was about "overcoming challenges," and it had even been used in the United States Olympic promotional materials, making it highly relevant; the performance was ultimately quite successful.
After the All-Star game, like other players, Hansen enjoyed a rare few days off.
These days were also the most active in the NBA trade market, as the trade deadline was just a few days away.
This year, Hansen was noticeably more attentive to the trade market compared to last year, because the classic Cleveland trade involving Jamison was certainly memorable.
