The legacy of the late, great Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant continues to shine well beyond his tragic passing thanks in large part to his wife Vanessa Bryant and many stars who proudly represent what the legend was all about. One star who has been linked to the Bryant family is perhaps the biggest music star on earth in Taylor Swift.
It wasn’t too long ago that Swift gifted her ’22’ hat to Kobe’s daughter, Bianka, during her historic Eras tour and it is well known that Vanessa and the Bryant family are huge fans of the pop star. Swift recently released ‘Taylor Swift: The End of an Era’ docuseries which chronicled the behind the scenes moments and impact of the historic tour and within the series was a nod to Kobe and the Bryant family.
During one scene, Swift was sporting a blue Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation sweater as she prepared for her performance and Vanessa took to social media to thank Swift for the shoutout, via The Taylor Swift Updates:

It may seem like such a little thing to wear a sweater, but those kinds of connections really matter, especially when it also involves someone like Kobe and continuing he and Gianna’s legacy. Swift is the biggest music star in the world and seeing that Mamba emblem being worn by her just has to mean so much to Vanessa and the rest of the Bryant family.
Between the shoes still being so popular, the merchandise being worn, the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation still going strong and everyone who knew him continuing to share so many amazing stories, the legacy of Kobe Bryant continues to grow around the world and that light will never dim.
