Natalia Bryant, daughter of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, revealed that her dad was one of the reasons why she became a Taylor Swift fan.
"Both my parents, absolutely," Natalia revealed to E! News on April 13, when asked where her love of Taylor Swift comes from. "I actually found my original concert t-shirt from Taylor Swift's like first concert. I still have it."
At the 2024 Revolve Festival, she also shared her disappointment at not being able to give Swift a friendship bracelet during the Eras Tour. At the time, before the concert, Natalia posted TikTok crafting bracelets before the event, with the caption "Make ERAS bracelets with me."
During the Eras Tour performance in Los Angeles on August 3, all members of the Bryant family were in attendance, including Kobe's wife Vanessa, and their three daughters: Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.
A heartwarming highlight of Swift's Eras Tour performances is her tradition of gifting a black hat to a lucky young fan in the audience. At this particular show, the coveted hat found its way into the hands of 6-year-old Bianka. The scene was nothing short of adorable as Swift planted a kiss on Bianka's cheek and gave her a long hug.
Given Kobe's unwavering support for Swift before his tragic passing in 2020, it's hardly shocking that his daughters are fans of the pop sensation.
"I think it's important to listen to people who do great things," he shared during a 2019 appearance on The Jordan Harbinger Show. "Taylor's been at the top of the game for a very, very long time."
He continued, "I don't care if you like her music or don't like her music, look at what she's doing. It's frightening. It's unbelievable to be able to pull that off over and over, and so I look at things like that to try and learn from them as much as I can."
