Taylor Swift shared a special moment with Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter, Bianka, during her “Eras” Tour stop in Los Angeles. Taylor gifted the 6-year-old her “Red” hat and gave her a big hug. The Bryants, including Vanessa and her daughters, were among the Swifties in attendance for the concert at SoFi Stadium. Vanessa donned a custom jean jacket to honor the late Lakers legend.
But it was Bianka who had her wildest dreams come true when Taylor picked her out of the crowd and brought her up on stage in the middle of the show. This is a part of Taylor’s tradition where she gives out her iconic hat to one lucky fan during her performance of “22.” It has become quite a phenomenon throughout the tour.
Taylor shared a warm embrace with Bianka, hugging her and saying a few words before putting the hat on her head. The entire stadium erupted in cheers and applause over the gesture. Vanessa took to Instagram to express her gratitude, saying, “We love you @taylorswift ❤️.”
The Bryant family has a longstanding connection with Taylor Swift. Not only are they huge fans, but in 2015, Kobe took the stage at Staples Center to reveal a banner honoring Taylor’s record for sold-out shows at the venue. Gigi Bryant, who tragically passed away, was also a massive Swiftie. Vanessa shared a throwback photo of her late daughter rocking out to Taylor’s song “You Belong With Me” before attending Thursday’s concert.
