00:00 Taylor Swift is honoring Kobe Bryant's daughter Bianca with a special piece of her
00:08 Eras tour.
00:10 The lover-songstress took the stage at LA's SoFi Stadium on Thursday for the first night
00:15 of her final stop on the US leg of her Eras tour and had a sweet surprise for the six-year-old.
00:22 While singing her hit "22," Taylor gives away her hat to a member of the audience each
00:27 show, and this time she presented it to Bianca before giving her a big hug.
00:33 Vanessa Bryant shared the precious moment on Instagram early Friday morning, writing,
00:37 "We love you @taylorswift."
00:40 The 41-year-old posted heartwarming moments from the concert, including a jean jacket
00:44 she made for the occasion, which featured a photo of her late husband with the musician
00:49 on stage during her 1989 world tour stop in LA in 2015.
00:55 She also shared a patch that referenced Taylor's song "Wildest Dreams" in honor of her
01:00 late daughter Gigi, with the words "Say You'll Remember Me" written inside of a heart.
01:05 Vanessa also shared a selfie with her oldest daughter Natalia and showed off her friendship
01:09 bracelets she made for her.
01:11 Taylor will play six concerts in LA as she closes out her record-breaking tour.
01:16 The first night brought out a slew of celebrities, including Sarah Poulsen, Brie Larson, Nick
01:22 and Vanessa Lachey, Ashley Tisdale, Alison Holker, Jenny Garth and more.
01:27 Access Hollywood's Scott Evans spoke to Taylor back in November 2021 at the premiere of her
01:32 short film "All Too Well," and she explained why she loves going the extra mile for fans.
01:38 "You woke up and chose violence today with this suit.
01:41 I see you lady, I see you.
01:43 Come on now.
01:44 I mean, you have to listen.
01:47 Violent velvet, right?
01:48 Violence.
01:49 But then when you hear the fans singing the song."
01:53 "It's really got my heart expanding.
01:55 It's insane.
01:57 I love them so much.
01:59 That's what all this is about.
02:00 I'm just so glad they're having fun.
02:03 I just want them to have fun this week.
02:05 Because they filled my life with a lot of fun."
02:06 "Joy and everything.
02:09 Tell me, singing these songs this time around, I've heard you say that you cried through
02:14 a lot of the press the first time you were promoting 'Red.'
02:18 It was tough.
02:19 And now, I wonder when you were back in the studio singing the songs this time, did you
02:26 have that same feeling or were you in a different headspace?"
02:29 "I think recording it, really it was going back and trying to create as authentic a replica
02:37 of the originals as I possibly could.
02:39 With songs on the original album, I wanted them to sound exactly alike.
02:46 And with the vault tracks, I wanted to be as creative as I possibly could.
02:50 So these are songs that no one's heard before, so I wanted them to be the best version.
02:53 These are the first impressions of these songs.
02:56 So they're singing so loud.
02:57 I love them so much."
02:58 "It's so good, right?"
02:59 "It's beautiful."
03:00 "Okay, so this song, everybody talks about it being one of their favorites.
03:05 You did a 10 minute short film.
03:08 It's written and directed by...
03:10 Okay!
03:11 How did it feel to be on that set, knowing that this was a story that you were going
03:16 to tell?
03:17 Mainly to be a gift to all of these people who've made it something so special?"
03:21 "Oh, it really just was wonderful because when you have a secret, I love planning things
03:25 secretly for them.
03:26 Because they're so rewarding.
03:27 They do this!"
03:28 "Right!
03:29 They show up!"
03:30 "They do this.
03:31 And it's so rewarding to surprise...
03:33 I can't believe they care that much, honestly, still."
03:35 "Okay, listen.
03:36 They care a whole lot.
03:37 I've been online looking at some of the Easter eggs and the connections that they've made.
03:42 One that killed me was Dylan and Sadie's age difference.
03:45 They were like, 'Okay, there's a secret somewhere in there.
03:48 There's a secret somewhere in there.'
03:49 Are they reading too much into it?"
03:51 "They are the best detectives in the world.
03:54 I love watching their theories, too.
03:56 I love looking at...
03:57 I like scroll TikTok, like watching their theories so often, all the time."
04:02 "Oh, I love that!"
04:03 "So I love to just watch what they come up with because they're brilliant.
04:06 And also sometimes...
04:07 I'm very into numerology.
04:10 Sometimes they find things I didn't even plan."
04:13 "Really?"
04:14 "Yeah."
04:15 "Okay."
04:16 "95% of the time I'm planning it.
04:17 But there are some times when they're like, 'The math!'
04:20 And I'm like, 'Oh my God, the math!'"
04:23 "I didn't anticipate that one.
04:24 Okay, wait.
04:25 What about this one?
04:26 What about this one?
04:27 So you wore this...
04:28 Okay, this is Princess Diana."
04:30 "Oh my gosh, this is not...
04:32 I just liked a dress.
04:33 It was a black dress I liked.
04:34 I'm not trying to...
04:35 I'm not..."
04:36 "No, it was...
04:37 So that one is wrong.
04:38 We debunked it."
04:39 "Yeah."
04:40 "We did debunk it!"
04:41 "I saw that, too.
04:42 I was like..."
04:43 "No, not at all.
04:44 Not at all.
04:45 Okay, listen.
04:46 We were actually interviewing you for the promotion of Red, and we asked you what you
04:52 wanted to do by the time you turned 30.
04:55 This is what you said to us."
04:56 "I hope that I make more albums that I'm proud of.
04:57 I hope that I have more tours that I'm really...
04:58 Like, they're like the highlight rail of like the best moments of my life."
04:59 "Yep.
05:00 That happened."
05:01 "Like, you hope that you have the most...
