Taylor Swift Gave Kobe Bryant's Daughter Bianka the “22” Hat At LA Eras Tour

Taylor Swift is winding down the United States leg of the Eras tour (well, sort of, as she just announced new dates in 2024) with a whopping six nights in a row at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Celebrity Swifities will definitely be flocking to the shows, and the first night didn't disappoint. Swift's pals HAIM performed with her, but it was the sweet, tender moment with Kobe Bryant's daughter Bianka that really stole our hearts.

As noted by PopCrave, Bianka was the recipient of the coveted "22" bowler hat for the evening. Swift knelt down at the edge of the stage, placed the hat on Bianka's head and embraced the six-year-old, who wore a sparkly pastel pink Lover-esque jacket for the occasion, then kissed her on the cheek and whispered something to her before heading back to her performance.

Bianka attended the show with her fellow Swifties: big sister Natalia and mom Vanessa, who got a great shot of the heartfelt moment between her daughter and Swift. "We love you @taylorswift," she wrote on Instagram. Vanessa also shared a few Instagram Stories of her look for the show, including a bedazzled denim jacket with a photo of Swift and Kobe onstage together in 2015 with a heart-shaped "Say you'll remember me" patch on the front. Vanessa also wore a stack of Eras tour friendship bracelets, including two dedicated to Kobe and their daughter Gianna, who both died in a helicopter crash in 2020.

Bianka isn't the only Bryant daughter with a major tour moment this year. Natalia is an intern for Beyoncé's Renaissance tour, and she's even listed in the tour credits. (She was also featured in Ivy Park's 2021 Halls of Ivy campaign and calls Beyoncé "Auntie BB.")

The Eras tour runs through August 9 in Los Angeles, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for more celebrity Swiftie moments, but I don't know if you can really top the poignancy and sweetness of this one. I think I need a Kleenex.
