Bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake. Taylor Swift recently made Selena Gomez some homemade sourdough in celebration of the Rare Beauty founder’s romance with Benny Blanco, complete with a cute pun on the gift tag.
As shared by the producer in a photo on his Instagram Story on Tuesday (July 22), he and Gomez — who celebrated her 33rd birthday over the weekend — received a helping of bread straight from the Eras Tour headliner’s kitchen. Topped with an ornate floral pattern baked into the dough, the gift was decorated with various stickers displaying Swift’s handwriting, reading, “Home-made sourdough,” “For Selena + Benny” and “‘It’s a loaf story.’”
The 14-time Grammy winner signed her name on a sticker at the bottom of the bread bag, which arrived in a gift basket. Swift also sent a scented candle and a couple of bottles in the package.
The sweet gift comes just a few days after Gomez partied with both Swift and Blanco for her birthday, as seen in photos shared by the Only Murders in the Building actress on Instagram on Sunday (July 20). The festivities took place a few days early, as Gomez’s big day is actually on Tuesday; Blanco marked the occasion by posting a carousel of photos of his famous fiancée snoozing and wrote on Instagram, “our life is a dream… so i’m never waking u up… happy birthday my love.”
While the sourdough may have been baked with a little extra love considering Swift and Gomez have been besties for nearly two decades, the former is well-known for crafting and doling out homemade treats. In 2024, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid revealed that the pop star had baked Pop-Tarts (Taylor’s Version) for his offensive linemen, and shortly prior, Bernie Kosar shared that Swift had made cinnamon rolls for Travis Kelce before a big game.
Plus, pretty much every autumn, Swift’s recipe for chai sugar cookies resurfaces anew online.
