During her “Eras Tour” performances, Taylor Swift has typically given her hat to an audience member and a special little girl was one of the latest recipients.
At Thursday’s concert held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Swift gifted her hat to Bianka Bryant, the daughter of late basketball legend Kobe Bryant.
Taylor Swift performs onstage during “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” at SoFi Stadium on August 3.
The elder Bryant was killed in a plane crash in 2020, along with his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven others.
Video shared on social media shows Swift putting the hat on 7-year-old Bianka’s head, kissing her cheek and giving her a big hug.
