Taylor Swift has been celebrating the release of her new album ‘Folklore’ by sending cardigans to various fans, including Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia.
‘Cardigan’ is the name of the first single to be taken from Swift’s eighth studio album, which fell almost without warning on Friday (July 24).
A friend of the Bryant family for years, Swift sent Natalia the cardigan, who wrote: “Thank you very much @taylorswift. I’m obsessed with folklore, “in her Instagram story.
Natalia’s mother Vanessa Bryant also thanked Swift for the gift on her Instagram page.
Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash in late January this year. Bryant was traveling in his private helicopter when it sank and a fire broke out, with all five people on board confirmed dead, including Bryant’s daughter Gianna Maria-Onore Bryant, 13.
Names from around the entertainment world, including Drake, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Travis Barker, Flea, and Cardi B, paid tribute to Bryant at the news of his death, with Taylor Swift writing: “Kobe meant a lot to me and everyone U.S. Sending my prayers, my love and my infinite condolences to Vanessa and the family and to anyone who has lost someone on that flight. “
Kobe joined Swift onstage at her Los Angeles show during the ‘1989’ tour in 2015. Other cardigans the star has sent included recipients such as Kesha.
