Just Hours After Declaring Her Love, Taylor Swift Packs Lovely Bread for Best Friend Ashley Avignone

Taylor Swift’s affection for those closest to her has always been on full display, blending thoughtfulness with a touch of whimsy. From surprise gifts to personal gestures, she knows how to make her family and friends feel truly cherished, allowing her warmth to shine not only through musical tributes but also in intimate moments with them. In a particularly heartwarming instance, just hours after publicly declaring her love for baking and baked goods, Swift packed a lovely loaf for one of her longest-standing best friends.

Taylor Swift’s latest declaration of love was not romantic — it was for bread, which she lovingly packed for Ashley Avignone.

Taylor Swift’s bread love sparks sweet surprise for Ashley Avignone

Taylor Swift’s passion for baking is not exactly breaking news; however, the less glamorous aspect of the singer’s life took on a new life after she highlighted it on the August 13 episode of the New Heights podcast. Soon after the singer shared her obsession with sourdough, Ashley Avignone, her longtime best friend, posted a glimpse of a freshly baked loaf she received on Swift’s behalf on her Instagram stories. The bread, labeled “THE LOAF OF A DOUGH GIRL,” playfully nodded to the Grammy winner’s upcoming album ‘The Life of a Showgirl.’ Another decorative sticker on the bread. Meanwhile, highlighted its flavor — cinnamon and raisin.

Taylor Swift described her current hobbies, including baking, as “real granny s–t” on New Heights. Sitting beside her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, the pop titan confessed her sourdough obsession has taken over her life post Eras Tour, explaining she talks about bread sixty percent of the time. From blueberry lemon to cinnamon swirl, she has mastered multiple loaves, she said, while adding that she is working on “Funfetti sourdough” for Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce’s daughters Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley. The latter bread will have rainbow sprinkles as its MVP. Swift, notably, also recently sent sourdough to a different best friend, this one as much a headline staple as herself.

Taylor Swift treated Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, who she is reportedly causing a special kind of headache, with her special sourdough not long ago.

Taylor Swift’s Sourdough Love: Everyone gets a taste

Taylor Swift delighted Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, with a sourdough loaf on July 22 to mark Gomez’s 33rd birthday. Swift sent a beautifully arranged gift basket featuring a homemade bread, a Le Labo Encens 9 candle, and two bottles, likely olive oil and balsamic vinegar, to the couple. The gesture reflected Swift’s heartfelt effort to make her friend’s special day more special, combining her culinary creativity with a playful touch of humor that only those who truly know her would appreciate.

Adding to the charm of the personalized birthday gift, Taylor Swift’s sourdough basket carried a handwritten note reading, “It is a loaf story,” a worthy nod to her 2008 hit ‘Love Story.’ Swift’s extended friend’s circle includes other high-profile names like Gigi Hadid, Gracie Abrams, Sabrina Carpenter, and more. The world should not be shocked at all if any of these names received bread from Taylor Swift, following Ashley Avignone.
