Vanessa Bryant excitedly took to social media after she spotted Taylor Swift wearing merchandise from the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation in her End of An Era docuseries.

Bryant, 43, posted a photo of Swift, 36, wearing the brand's royal blue crewneck in a scene from the six-part docuseries to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Dec. 30. "What a gift. We love you @taylorswift," she wrote, adding a blue heart emoji and Swift's song "Opalite" to the post.

Bryant shared another image of Swift in the royal blue sweatshirt, tagging Swift again and using "The Fate of Ophelia" in a second Instagram Stories post.

Swift has been a friend of the Bryant family for years, and the singer brought out Vanessa's late husband Kobe Bryant as a surprise guest at her concert in 2015.

A few years later, Kobe, who died alongside his daughter Gianna Bryant in January 2020, praised Swift as an artist and said he believed it was "important to listen to people who do great things." Kobe explained, "You can't have that level of consistent success and not be a killer. It's impossible."

In May, Swift showed her support for Natalia Bryant after the eldest of Vanessa and Kobe's daughters graduated from the University of Southern California.

Natalia, 22, shared a TikTok video of herself lip-syncing to Swift’s song “Nothing New (Taylor’s Version)” alongside three friends at the time, and Swift liked the post.

Vanessa spoke to PEOPLE in October about the release of Mamba & Mambacita Forever, a book paying tribute to Kobe and Gianna. "As difficult as it was to work on this book due to the painful reminder it represents, I’m glad I did it," she told PEOPLE.

"The murals of Kobe and Gianna are all so beautiful but the majority of them are outside and will unfortunately fade or get damaged by the elements like most murals do over time," she explained. "I wanted to make sure we preserved them."
