- On or before February 12, photos showed Swift sent a homemade blueberry lemon sourdough loaf to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, as reported by entertainment outlets.
- The packaging featured stickers reading “Thank you for supporting my small business” and “Baking because murder is wrong,” with reports noting a personalized note on the bundle.
- Newsweek highlighted online criticism from a Reddit thread where some users objected to the “small business” sticker, calling it tone-deaf and performative.
- Swift has recently described her baking habit on the New Heights podcast, saying sourdough has “taken over” her life and that she talks about bread much of the time.
- The gesture continues Swift and Gomez’s well-documented friendship, which dates back to 2008.
