Taylor Swift posts Folklore cardigan to Kobe Bryant’s daughter in sweet gesture

Taylor Swift has sent a potential piece of iconic pop fashion to Kobe Bryant's 17-year-old daughter.

Natalia has thanked the star after she mailed her one of the famous cardigans she wore in the music video for her well-received new album Folklore.

Taylor has a special bond with the family, who are still coming to terms with the harrowing loss of the basketball superstar and his daughter Gianna, 13.

They both tragically perished in a plane crash that killed a nine people in January.

Taylor first got to know the Bryant family in 2015 when Kobe surprised her on stage at her Staples Center show in Los Angeles.

Then in 2018, Natalia and Gianna joined Taylor backstage during her Reputation tour.

Now the star has sent her biggest fan something special.

"Thank you SO much @taylorswift. I am obsessed with folklore," Natalia wrote as she showed off her gift on her Instagram Story.

Vanessa Brant, 38, also posted to thank Taylor for the generosity shown to her daughter.

The star was stunned by the news of the plane crash six months ago.

"My heart is in pieces hearing the news of this unimaginable tragedy," she tweeted at the time.

"I can’t fathom what the families are going through.

"Kobe meant so much to me and to us all. Sending my prayers, love, and endless condolences to Vanessa and the family and anyone who lost someone on that flight."

In the first 24 hours, Folklore reportedly exceeded 1.3 million copies sold globally.

It also is said to have broken the record on Spotify for 'global first day record streams by a female artist with 80.6 million streams'.

Critics have already called the new album her best ever.
