Taylor Swift sent Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia a cardigan identical to the one the singer wore in a music video for a song in her latest album “folklore”.
“Thank you SO much @taylorswift. I am OBSESSED with ‘folklore’!!!” Natalia said on her Instagram Stories last Saturday, July 25, alongside a photo of the piece of clothing.
A fan account (@SimplySFans) dedicated to Swift shared screenshots of Natalia’s post on Twitter on the same day. The page also posted a screengrab of the Instagram Story of Natalia’s mother, Vanessa, which showed her child holding the cardigan.

The cream-hued knitted cardigan was featured in the music video of Swift’s new song aptly titled “cardigan”.
The over 4-minute clip shows Swift entering a piano in a long, sleeveless white dress and going through an adventure before returning to where she originally came from. Upon exiting the instrument, she sits down in front of it and pulls on the cream-colored cardigan as the song and video end.
The Bryant family are longtime fans of Swift, as per Metro yesterday, July 26. Natalia and her late sister Gianna met the singer backstage during her “Reputation” tour back in 2018.
The late basketball star Kobe also surprised Swift onstage while she was performing at the Staple Center in Los Angeles, United States in 2015, as seen in his old Instagram post.
Swift’s “folklore” follows her seventh studio album “Lover”, which she released in August last year. Ryan Arcadio/JB
