Taylor Swift wrote a letter thanking Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy for his support ahead of her concert on Saturday night.
On Sunday, the BFFs podcast host took to Instagram to share images of a handwritten note that the Cruel Summer hitmaker’s brother Austin Swift personally delivered to him at The Eras Tour gig at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
“What a gift from @taylorswift to @stoolpresidente at last night’s Eras Tour,” he posted.
David also uploaded snaps of Taylor’s letter and the white envelope he received it in, which was sealed with a green wax stamp featuring the number 13 – her lucky number.
“Dave, I’m so happy to have you at the show tonight!” she wrote. “I wanted to say thank you for always being so supportive, so loyal, and for having my back when a lot of people didn’t.”
The singer concluded: “I hope you have a blast tonight!! Love, Taylor.”
While Taylor didn’t state the exact reason why she wrote the letter to the 47-year-old businessman, he publicly defended her after she endorsed U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election race last month.
In addition, Dave posted a video on X in which he exclaimed he had the “time of (his) life” at the concert and “can’t get over how unbelievable Taylor is”.
“I can’t believe I met Austin and her mother, (Andrea Swift). I didn’t meet Taylor. That’s fine. I don’t think she ever really meets people when she’s performing,” he said, insisting the personalised note “means more” to him because it shows the 34-year-old “took time out” of her schedule to pen it.
Taylor is next set to perform her The Eras Tour show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on 25 October.
