Gabe Johnson is obviousy a new arrival in Seattle after the big fee they paid for him, so it has been a bit of an akwkkward transition period getting acquainted with new faces in the team for him. This combined with the absence of fans makes it a bit difficult to adapt. However, Johnson has found inspiration in trying to force his love of popular music artist The Weeknd on all his teammates, and most notably general manager Tiggie Smalls. Johnson hopes that before games he can provide energy with songs from The Weeknd such as Blinding Lights, The Hills and Starboy, because The Weeknd is basically all he listens to nowadays. Due to the nature of Johnson only having two years left on his contract, Seattle agreed to play songs in the Weeknd to fill the empty stadium during COVID-19 times, because Johnson threatened to leave the team if they would not accomodate his love of The Weeknd. Johnson has said he is looking forward to walking out to Starboy reverberating throughout the closed off arena before every game.
