Date: March 25, 2023

Venue: Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas

Swift made a 7-year-old fan named Bella’s wildest dreams come true when the young Swiftie sent the pop star a handwritten letter before a show in Las Vegas. The little girl’s mom, Gina Lanzino, recalled thinking how unlikely it was that Swift would even see the letter.

After handing off the note to an usher, Lanzino and her daughter were approached about halfway through the show. “They say, ‘We wanted to give this to you,’ and it was the letter Bella gave to Taylor and [Taylor] signed it,” Lanzino later recounted in a TikTok. “[Bella] did write her section number on the back, but I really didn’t ever in a million years think that this was going to get returned to her. They filmed my daughter getting the letter back because they wanted to pass it back to Taylor.”

Tay was captured giving a special “hello” to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids, whose names inspired the characters in several of the songs on Folklore. “Hi, James! Hi, Nezzy!” the star appeared to mouth from the stage.

After the show, Swift exited the stage holding hands with James and waving to fans, while Lively held Inez. The Grammy winner has been a longtime close friend of the Lively-Reynolds family, and long ago included a snippet of James’ voice on her Reputation single “Gorgeous.”

Venue: Soldier Field in Chicago

One young Swiftie at the pop star’s Chicago concert was so cute, Swift’s better judgment completely went away as she tried to invite the fan onstage. “My brain just broke,” she frantically explained in the middle of singing “22” after pulling the little girl’s arm and promptly turning the motion into a high-five.

“She’s so cute that I wanted to like, I was just like, ‘I’m just gonna bring her on the stage, I’m just gonna hug her and put her on the stage,’” Swift later explained before singing “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” “And then I remembered we don’t have a safe way to get her off the stage.”

Harbour was spotted in the crowd at Swift’s Eras show in Minneapolis, which he later revealed was a daddy-daughter bonding night for him and one of his stepdaughters. (The Stranger Things actor is father by marriage to wife Lily Allen’s kids Ethel and Marnie.) And while Swift didn’t have a minute to spare to meet the actor and the “Smile” singer’s little girl, she did send the pair a sweet handwritten note from backstage.

 “We sat there for about 30 minutes of the opener and then a woman came out with a letter,” Harbour recalled during an interview, adding that Swift waved at them mid show, as she’d promised in the note. “It was addressed to me and my stepdaughter, and it was a handwritten letter on a particular stationery. I’ve never seen my stepdaughter speechless.”

Swift had an emotional moment with the daughter of her late friend basketball legend Kobe Bryant, when 6-year-old Bianka was chosen to receive the “Anti-Hero” singer’s black costume hat during “22.” After placing the cap on Bianka’s head, Swift kissed her on the cheek and wrapped her in a big hug as mom Vanessa Bryant looked on.

Alicia Keys’ 8-year-old son Genesis — whom she shares with husband Swizz Beatz (the pair are also parents to 12-year-old Egypt) — got the VIP treatment during the mom-son duo’s night out at the Eras Tour. Swift posed for a number of photos with the family after the show, gave Gen a kiss on the cheek and even wrote him a handwritten letter.

“Gen, Hi my friend!!” read Swift’s card. “I was so excited when I heard you were coming tonight!! I hope you have so much fun at the show. I’ll be waving at you. Love, Taylor.”
