Taylor Swift was recently spotted wearing a gold pendant necklace that holds a special and hidden meaning to the songstress.
The Bad Blood hitmaker, 34, notably sported the piece of jewelry as she visited Electric Lady Studios in New York City earlier last week.
The necklace is from Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant’s, Mambacita x ZC capsule collection that dropped back in March 2022. The limited collaboration was with the L.A. based company called Zoe Chicco Fine Jewelry.
The gold-chained piece contains a small, circular pendant that has the late basketball player’s famous quote engraved on the front: ‘Bet on yourself.’
Not long after Swift’s outing, Vanessa took to her Instagram stories to give a sweet shout out to the Grammy winner and reposted a story about the star donning the necklace.

She added a blue, heart-shaped emoji that had the words, ‘We Love You Taylor’ printed in the middle.
At the time the limited collection was launched, 100% of the proceeds went to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, which was also tagged in the recent post.
The nonprofit organization is, ‘dedicated to creating a positive impact for undeserved athletes and boys & girls in sports,’ per the official website.
The foundation was also ‘founded through the vision and loving memory of Kobe and Gianna ‘Gigi’ Bryant.’
Taylor has been very close with the Bryant family for many years, and Kobe notably joined the Love Story singer on stage back in 2015 during her 1989 World Tour. He died aged 41 in a helicopter crash in January 2020 alongside daughter Gianna, 13, and six others.
Last year, Vanessa had shared a TikTok video originally posted by ESPN that had captured the moment when Kobe stepped in front of the cheering crowd to present Swift with a special banner.
Text added towards the top of the reel read: ‘Kobe Bryant presented Taylor Swift her ‘championship’ banner for most sold out shows at Staples Center in 2015.’
At the time, the performer had also jumped to Twitter, also known as X, to express her gratitude for the sports star joining her on stage.
