INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Taylor Swift fans lined up early outside SoFi Stadium Friday ahead of the second night of the singer’s engagement at the venue, and following a three-hour-plus opening night performance that included an emotional moment between the Grammy winner and one of Kobe Bryant’s daughters.
As Swift performed her song “22” during Thursday night’s show, the singer — as she traditionally does for a fan during her concerts — presented the hat she was wearing to 6-year-old Bianka Bryant, youngest daughter of the late Kobe Bryant. Swift kissed Bianka on the cheek and gave her hug to the cheers of the crowd.
Bianka’s mother, Vanessa, posted video of the exchange on her social media accounts.

Vanessa Bryant also posted a photo of the denim jacket she was wearing during the concert. The jacket featured a photo of Swift with Kobe Bryant in 2015, when the late Laker legend presented the singer with a banner recognizing her record for the most-ever sold-out shows at Staples Center, which is now Crypto.com Arena.

Hundreds of Swift fans descended early on Sofi Stadium Friday morning, hoping for a chance to purchase Swift merchandise.
Additional performances are set for Saturday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Stadium officials reminded the public that people who don’t have tickets shouldn’t bother coming to the venue, thinking they can listen to the music by standing nearby or just hoping to soak up the atmosphere.
According to the stadium’s website, nobody will be permitted to remain in the parking lots or outside the stadium once the show has started, and only ticketed guests will be given access to the venue.
