Taylor Swift wears necklace with empowering Kobe Bryant quote for recording studio session

Long live all the mountains he moved.

Taylor Swift stepped out in a comfy outfit to head to the recording studio Thursday, and along with supporting Beyoncé by wearing Ivy Park sneakers, she donned an accessory honoring her late friend Kobe Bryant.

The “Shake it Off” singer, 34, arrived at NYC’s Electric Lady Studios in an unusually casual look, wearing a zebra-print Adidas men’s fleece with leggings and a pair of sold-out kicks from the “Single Ladies” singer’s Adidas collab.

And while she went simple on the accessories, her jewelry certainly packed a punch.

The Grammy winner’s diamond-encircled gold disc pendant was engraved with one of Bryant’s famous quotes: “Bet on yourself.”

The sold-out necklace is part of the Mambacita x ZC capsule collection the basketball great’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, designed for jeweler Zoë Chicco; 100% of the profits benefited the Mamba and Mambacita Foundation to help support underserved athletes and boys and girls in sports.

In addition to the necklace, Swift wore earrings from Maria Tash and Foundrae.

Swift was friendly with the Lakers player — who died in a helicopter crash alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, in 2020 — and his family for years, inviting him on stage during a 2015 performance in Los Angeles when her banner for most sold-out performances at LA’s Staples Center was unveiled.

“Friends hang from time to time but banners hang forever @taylorswift #badblood #history #builddreams #breakrecords” Bryant captioned an Instagram post commemorating the moment.

When the basketball great died, Swift took to Twitter, writing, “My heart is in pieces hearing the news of this unimaginable tragedy. I can’t fathom what the families are going through. Kobe meant so much to me and to us all. Sending my prayers, love, and endless condolences to Vanessa and the family and anyone who lost someone on that flight.”

She’s since honored Bryant’s daughters, gifting a sweater from her “Cardigan” video to Natalia, 20, in 2020 and presenting 7-year-old Swiftie Bianka with her “22” hat during the Eras tour in Los Angeles last year as mom Vanessa looked on in her own custom Kobe- and Swift-themed jacket.

The “Getaway Car” singer’s casual outfit also might have been a subtle nod to another man in her life, with numerous fans on social media wondering if the pop star was wearing boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s fleece.

“Did she borrow that from Travis?” one fan commented on the Taylor Swift Styled Instagram account, while another commented, “That’s a real Travis Kelce outfit.”

Thursday’s look — which included a simple green tee under her fleece — follows a series of green outfits this week, including the sequined Gucci gown she wore on the Golden Globes red carpet and two casual green dresses that Swifties think are Easter eggs hints that “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” might be coming soon.

Another big event that might be impending? An engagement, with sources telling Page Six the NFL star is planning to propose this summer.
