Taylor Swift surprised Dave Portnoy over the weekend with a heartfelt letter expressing her gratitude for his unwavering support. The self-proclaimed “king of the Swifties” received the handwritten note from Taylor’s brother, Austin, who personally delivered it to Portnoy before attending the singer’s Eras Tour concert in Miami.
Portnoy was ecstatic about the surprise, so much so that his “BFFs” podcast shared the letter on Instagram, showcasing Taylor’s personalized touch. The front of the envelope had “Dave!” scribbled with a star next to his name, while the back featured a green wax seal highlighting Taylor’s lucky number 13.
In the letter, Taylor expressed her happiness that Portnoy was attending her show and thanked him for always being supportive and loyal, especially during times when not everyone had her back. This was likely in reference to the backlash Taylor faced in September after endorsing Kamala Harris for the 2024 presidential race, despite Portnoy’s support for former President Trump.
In response to the controversy, Portnoy defended Taylor, stating that people can vote for whoever they want in the country, and it wouldn’t change his opinion of them. This message of acceptance and understanding resonated with fans and showcased Portnoy’s open-mindedness.
With this surprise letter from Taylor, it seems that Dave and Taylor are well on their way to becoming lifelong friends. Their mutual respect and support for each other have solidified their bond, making this unexpected gesture all the more special.
