Taylor Swift shared a sweet moment with Bianka Bryant, daughter of the late NBA icon Kobe Bryant , on Thursday.
In a touching moment that was caught on video , the singer handed Bryant her hat and shared a hug with the 6-year-old while performing the song 22 during the first of six shows at Inglewoods SoFi Stadium .
Vanessa Bryant , who was married to Kobe Bryant for nearly 19 years before his death in 2020, shared a photo of Swift and her daughter embracing onstage.
We love you [Taylor Swift ], she captioned the photo.
Swift has typically handed off her hat when performing 22 on her Eras Tour, but this is not the singers first sweet moment with the Bryant family.

Natalia Bryant, Vanessa and Kobe Bryants 20-year-old daughter who was also at the concert with her mom and sister, once received a Folklore cardigan from Swift.
The Bryants embraced their Swiftie side for Thursdays show. Vanessa Bryant shared a photo of a custom jean jacket she wore that featured a picture of her late husband and Swift.
The photo is from a 2015 concert at the Staples Center, where the Los Angeles Lakers legend presented her with a banner in the rafters for the most sold out performances at the venue.

The jacket also featured a colorful Say Youll Remember Me patch, a nod to Swifts song Wildest Dreams.
