Perhaps one of the more unlikely alliances in all of pop culture is that of megastar musician Taylor Swift and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

Portnoy has long been public with his support of Swift, so maybe it comes as no surprise that the singer handwrote a heartfelt letter to the Barstool founder when he attended her show in Miami on Sunday.

“I’m so happy to have you at the show tonight! I wanted to say thank you for always being so supportive, so loyal and for having my back when a lot of people didn’t. I hope you have a blast tonight!!” Swift’s note read.

Pictures of the note were shared on Portnoy’s BFFs Pod Instagram page. The caption read, “What a gift from @taylorswift to @stoolpresidente at last night’s Eras Tour.”

Now, some have pointed to Swift’s phrasing in the note as referring to Portnoy’s support of the singer after her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election. Portnoy is an outward supporter of former President Donald Trump, though took to social media last month to defend Swift’s freedom to vote for whoever she wants.

It’s a strange world we live in that one of the most cordial political interactions this election cycle comes between one of the world’s most famous celebrities (and girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce) and the founder of a bro-centric sports website who regularly appears on Fox News.

But hey, that’s 2024 for you.
