Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes' seasoned coach, is no stranger to grand events. He graced the Super Bowl stage with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. He also played in the World Series with the Atlanta Braves and hosted Saturday Night Live in 1995. Sanders has now set his sights on transforming the Buffaloes’ spring game into an extravagant affair - a Prime Weekend.
Hip-hop artist Lil Wayne recently sat down with Sanders in Las Vegas on Young Money Radio. They discussed the grand plan for the Spring Game, scheduled for Apr. 27 at Folsom Field in Boulder.
Coach Prime said the festivities will kick off with the Fashion Show on Thursday. It will be followed by Boosters’ Delight on Friday, Game Day on Saturday and the Halftime Extravaganza, possibly featuring Taylor Swift.
Wayne enquired Coach Prime about the American pop star joining the halftime.
“So there will be some Taylor Swift plays?” Wayne asked.
“I don't know if Taylor gonna be swift now,” Sanders replied. “I love her. She's a beast,” Sanders replied.
The football world was intrigued when Swift and Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce started dating, reportedly since at least Sep. 2023. The couple caught the eye of the sports world and celebrities throughout the NFL season.
