Taylor Swift melted hearts once again as she shared an endearing moment onstage with Bianka Bryant, the 6-year-old daughter of the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant. The heartwarming interaction took place during Taylor Swift’s electrifying Eras concert at the iconic SoFi Stadium on Thursday night.
The video shared by Vanessa Bryant on her Instagram shows the 33-year-old singer was in the midst of performing her hit song 22 when she paused to hug her daughter Bianka, who was seated in the front row with her mother Vanessa, and Sister Natalia Bryant. Swift’s act of kindness didn’t end there as she adorned Bianka by putting her hat on her head, kissing her cheek, and giving a long hug.

The emotional evening held even more significance for Vanessa Bryant as she paid homage to her late husband and daughter. She donned a denim jacket adorned with an image of Kobe Bryant alongside Taylor Swift during one of the singer’s concerts back in 2015. Above the image on the jacket are block letters that read ‘Swiftie,’ a term used to refer to Taylor Swift’s passionate fans worldwide. The jacket also featured a patch that bore the lyric “Say You’ll Remember Me,” a line from Swift’s hit Wildest Dreams.
Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others, tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash in January 2020.
