The players gonna play, the haters gonna hate, and the bakers gonna bake. And when Taylor Swift is the one doing the baking, you know it’s going to be good.
The pop star recently surprised Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco with a homemade sourdough gift basket, topped with a very Taylor Swift pun: “It’s a loaf story.”
The basket didn’t stop at bread (and intricate floral patterned-bread, at that).
Swift also packed in a candle from Le Labo in the scent Encens 9, a frankincense fragrance with notes of incense, patchouli, clove, and amber, along with two bottles, presumably oil and vinegar. The care package arrives as Gomez celebrates her 33rd birthday.
Swift’s approach to baking as a gift has become legendary.
Tour crew members have received surprise holiday treats baked by Swift, and friends have recounted receiving fresh homemade banana bread and artisanal loaves at their doorstep during difficult times.
Her viral chai sugar cookie recipe resurfaces every autumn like clockwork.
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed she personally baked Pop-Tarts for the team’s offensive linemen, and former Brown’s quarterback Bernie Kosar shared that Swift had whipped up cinnamon rolls timed perfectly before a crucial game. “As good a singer as she is and entertainer, she’s also a really good cook,” Reid said of Swift during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show in March 2024.
Baking for someone says “I invested time, energy, love, and care into making these for you.” What better gift is there than that? If you want to channel that same intentional energy into your own gift-giving game, below are products to help you build a gift basket like Taylor Swift.
