Kobe Bryant’s Daughter Natalia Makes Surprising Declaration About Taylor Swift

The daughter of the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant has opened up about whether or not she’s a fan of the pop star and, further, exactly how she was introduced to the “Lavender Haze” singer’s music.

While speaking with E! News’ The Rundown at the Revolve Festival on Saturday, April 13, the 21-year-old opened up about the beginning of her journey as a Swift fan after being asked who was responsible for initially making her family “massive Swifties.”

“Both my parents, absolutely,” Natalia responded. “I actually found my original concert t-shirt from Taylor Swift’s, like, first concert. I still have it.”

Proof of this can be found in photos of the basketball great and Vanessa from Swift’s 2018 Reputation concert in Los Angeles prior to his tragic death, where Natalia and her late sister, Gianna—who passed away in a 2020 helicopter crash alongside her father—were also present.

And apparently, the respect has always been mutual, as the “You Belong With Me” songstress has been pictured wearing a nod to the Los Angeles Lakers icon in the past.

As for whether Natalia has been able to swap friendship bracelets with the 14-time Grammy winner, though, unfortunately, the University of Southern California student admitted she missed her opportunity.

“I didn’t!” the model—who showed herself making the wristwear ahead of attending an Eras Tour show in August—said of getting one in the hands of the superstar. “I wish… I fumbled.”

Still, she hopes to make up for it in the future, so here’s to a potential accessory swap between the two!
