Recently in New York City, Taylor Swift adorned herself with a necklace bearing Kobe Bryant’s inspirational quote, ‘Bet on yourself.’ Swift’s fashion choices have been under close scrutiny, and fans quickly recognized the meaningful pendant as she left Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village. The necklace, part of a capsule collection designed by Vanessa Bryant in collaboration with the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation and Zoë Chicco Fine Jewelry, is unfortunately no longer available.

Swift’s choice of accessory drew attention to Kobe’s motivational mantra, a sentiment also echoed by Kobe and Vanessa’s daughter, Natalia, in a recent interview. Natalia shared her commitment to embodying the ‘bet on yourself’ mentality, emphasizing personal growth and continuous learning.

In response to Swift’s gesture, Vanessa Bryant expressed gratitude on her Instagram story, saying, ‘We Love You Taylor,’ and acknowledging Swift’s support for the foundation. Kobe, a fan of Swift, had previously praised her consistent success and positive impact. Swift’s connection with the Bryant family extends beyond this, as she had interacted warmly with Kobe’s daughters before becoming a global icon.

The shared admiration continued, with Vanessa and her daughters attending Swift’s Eras Tour in Los Angeles, where they received a special hat for Bianka. 

Natalia documented the experience on social media, expressing her joy and gratitude for the memorable moments shared with Taylor Swift.
