The internet broke down in collective tears last night after Taylor Swift gave Kobe Bryant's daughter Bianka her hat during "22" at night one of the Eras Tour in Los Angeles.

The Swift Society, an update account dedicated to the singer, uploaded footage of the heartwarming moment on Twitter, which shows Swift approaching Bianka at the end of the catwalk and immediately dropping to her knees and pulling her in for a hug.

Eventually, she leans back and they speak for a moment, before Swift places her hat on Bianka's head and pulls her in for a kiss on the cheek and another hug.

She appears to mouth "I love you" at the younger girl as she backs away, pointing at her as she goes back to singing.

"I'm not crying, you are," one Twitter user replied, using a gif of Swift herself wiping away tears from her eyes.

"I’m not crying…. I’m not… I’m…. Okay I’m crying," wrote another.

Bianka's dad and older sister Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash in early 2020, and her mom, Vanessa, brought a piece of them along to show.

She wore a custom denim jacket for the occasion, with a bejeweled photo of Kobe and Swift on stage during her 1989 Tour, where he presented her with a commemorative banner for having the most sold-out shows at LA's Staples Center (now the Crypto.com Arena). Per photos from her Instagram Story, viewed by People, the jacket also featured a heart-shaped patch with the lyrics "Say you'll remember me," from the song "Wildest Dreams." Her oldest daughter, Natalia, also made her friendship bracelets honoring Kobe and Gianna.

Vanessa also shared a series of photos from their night on Instagram, including a group shot of the whole family with the singer backstage after the show ended.
