Taylor Swift has recently shared a glimpse into her baking hobby, specifically her passion for sourdough, through a thoughtful gift to her friend, Selena Gomez. The pop star gifted Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco a loaf of her renowned sourdough, reportedly in celebration of the upcoming Super Bowl. This gesture highlights not just her baking skills but also her unique sense of humor.
Swift’s sourdough has gained a following among her friends, who often showcase the loaves she shares. This week, chef and influencer Jake Cohen posted a close-up of the packaging, revealing the array of playful stickers adorning the loaf. Among the labels are phrases like, “Sourdough bread baked freshly by Tay Tay” and “Thank you for supporting my small business.” The packaging also features a humorous “Baking because murder is wrong” sticker, reflecting Swift’s lighthearted approach to her culinary endeavors.
In a previous appearance on the podcast New Heights during the summer, Swift discussed her deepening obsession with baking. “The sourdough has taken over my life in a huge way,” she noted, adding that she spends about 60 percent of her time discussing bread. Swift has experimented with various flavors, including cinnamon swirl and blueberry lemon, which she humorously refers to as “getting pretty crazy over here.”
Swift’s focus on sourdough has fostered a sense of community among fellow bakers. She often reaches out to friends for feedback on her creations, asking questions about different baking techniques. “I’m just always baking bread and texting my friends and being like, ‘Can I send you some bread? I need some feedback,’” she explained. This interaction exemplifies her enthusiasm for baking and the connections it fosters.
The blueberry lemon sourdough gifted to Gomez and Blanco was not an isolated incident. Earlier this summer, Swift also surprised them with a loaf for Gomez’s birthday. Such gestures underline the personal touch that Swift brings to her baking, making each loaf a reflection of her personality and relationships.
As the Super Bowl approaches on February 11, 2024, fans and friends alike are likely to appreciate not only Swift’s musical talents but also her growing reputation as a passionate baker. Through her sourdough, Swift continues to blend her humor and creativity, making her culinary adventures as engaging as her music career.
