Many might not know this. But Kobe Bryant and Taylor Swift shared a profound friendship. In fact, Mamba publicly shouted out the singer for her “killer” mentality. They never failed to lift each other up in their respective careers. Taylor has expressed many heartwarming gestures to the Bryant family and has been a strong supporter since Kobe’s untimely demise in 2020. Recently, Vanessa Bryant was celebrating the 33-year-old’s record-breaking tour.

Taylor’s’ The Eras Tour‘ is the current talk of the town. We could see Vanessa and her daughters all jubilant during the tour and enjoying it as true swifties. Vanessa took her Instagram stories to share her swiftie moments, including a very special hug from the pop star.

On Thursday night, Taylor Swift performed for over 100,000 fans in LA’s sold-out SoFi stadium. Among the attendees was the Bryant family. Vanessa looked vibrant at the concert with her daughters. She paid homage to Kobe Bryant by wearing a jacket commemorating Mamba‘s friendship with Taylor Swift.

Vanessa embedded ‘Swiftie‘ on the jacket, as seen on her story. Below the word was a picture of Kobe and Taylor on stage together from 2015.

The front of the jacket had a huge heart imprinted with the lines, “say you’ll remember me,” from Swift’s song ‘Wildest Dreams’. We could witness Vanessa’s reverie as she paid tribute to her husband and celebrated Swift with such a sweet gesture.

She shared the sweetest picture of all from the tour where Taylor Swift hugs six-year-old Bianca. Bryant captioned it with “we love you@Taylor Swift“.

Vanessa also shared a heartwarming video where her daughters Natalia and Gigi dance to Taylor Swift’s ‘Love Story’. While the family enjoyed the concert thoroughly, it was Kobe himself who started the family’s swiftie trend.

Kobe Bryant and Taylor Swift’s friendship

Kobe was very vocal about being a big fan of Taylor Swift.

In fact, the picture of Kobe and Taylor is from a momentous feat the singer achieved on the Los Angeles Lakers‘ home turf. Back in 2015, The Black Mamba took Taylor by surprise, gifting her a championship banner at Staples Centre. This was after the popstar sold-out 16 performances and set the record at that time.

Taylor Swift has now continued her record-breaking ways. ‘The Eras Tour‘ cracked the fabled billion-dollar mark last month. It’s now reported to have earned nearly $1.5 billion during its run, making it the highest-grossing tour of all time.

Kobe also talked about Swift in an interview back in 2019, saying, “You can’t have that level of consistent success and not be a killer.”

Taylor Swift has since shown friendly gestures to the family by gifting Natalia a replica of the cardigan she wore in ‘ Folklore ‘ and a special ‘Midnights’ gift to Vanessa.
