After Swift expressed gratitude to Kobe Bryant on Twitter (then known as X), Bryant replied, “My pleasure @taylorswift13.” Never stop making history and saving lives.

The NBA great also posted a picture from the event to Instagram with the remark, “Friends hang from time to time, but banners hang forever.”

Vanessa Bryant took her girls to a Taylor Swift concert in Los Angeles in August. The singer took a detour from the act to give 7-year-old Bianka Bryant a hug onstage. Her birthday is in December.

One of the viewers recorded the event and posted it to X. Swift is seen giving Bianka Bryant an embrace and a few words before handing her the black hat she was wearing onstage. Swift returns to the stage and waves to Bianka Bryant before starting up again.
