Taylor Swift’s famous friends weren’t “delighted” with her thoughtful gift.
During a night out in Los Angeles on Friday, January 9, the 36-year-old pop superstar appeared to gift her friends, including Este Haim, Danielle Haim, Alana Haim, and Sombre, a carefully wrapped sourdough bread, complete with her signature handwritten label.
Photos of the Haim sisters and the “Back to Friends” singer leaving the Bird Street club showed the crew leaving the West Hollywood restaurant with baked goods in hand.
Swift, 36, hasn’t been shy about sharing her baking “obsession” with the world. During an August 2025 appearance on fiancé Travis Kelce and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights Podcast, the “Destined Ophelia” singer explained that she had been spending a lot of time in the kitchen following the end of her record-breaking Elas tour.

“I think all of my hobbies can be categorized as hobbies that could have been created in the 1700s. You see? I inherited all of my grandma’s hobbies,” she joked at the time. “We’ve fallen so deep into our sourdough obsession that it’s taken over my life.”
“Sourdough has taken over my life in a big way. I talk about bread 60 percent of the time now,” she continued. “I always bake bread and email my friends and say, ‘Can I send you the bread? I need your feedback. Do you like this one better than the other? Did you rise it a little differently?'”
In fact, Selena Gomez shared a photo on her Instagram Stories featuring a basket of fresh bread and a Le Labo candle that Swift gave her on her 33rd birthday in July 2025. The package included a handwritten note to her and then-fiance Benny Blanco, which read: “Homemade Sourdough…For Selena and Benny. It’s a Story of Bread.”
A few months later, Swift surprised BBC presenter Greg James with her bread during an interview on BBC Radio 1 in October.

“I was baking, so I brought Greg some sourdough,” she said, handing him some homemade bread. “It’s lemon blueberry. I think it’s a really nice variation.”
And once again, Swift wrote one of her signature puns on the packaging.
“You wrote, ‘The Fate of Dorferia,'” James read aloud, to which Swift explained, “You know, I think the worse Pan puns are, the better.”
Days later, Jimmy Fallon revealed on social media that he was one of the recipients of Swift’s coveted sourdough bread.
“I’m not going to lie, Taylor actually makes the best sourdough. Thank you @taylorswift!!!,” the Tonight Show host, 51, wrote on Instagram on Oct. 8. The package featured the handwritten phrase “The Loaf of a Doughgirl,” a nod to the singer’s album “Life of a Showgirl.”
