After a night out in LA, Taylor Swift's friends appeared to leave with homemade sourdough bread in hand.
If you needed proof that Taylor Swift is firmly in her cozy, flour-dusted era, it’s here. Paparazzi photos from a recent dinner outing in Los Angeles show her friends (including the Haim sisters and Sombr) leaving with loaves of bread wrapped lovingly in labeled paper bags. And not just any bread—the labels read “Original Sourdough!” with at least one sticker featuring a Swiftie pun (“Are you bready for it?”), strongly suggesting these were homemade by Taylor.
We don’t know much beyond what the photos reveal, but the scene feels on-brand for Taylor. Giving homemade bread is thoughtful, personal and decidedly old-fashioned, echoing the kinds of hobbies she’s openly embraced in recent years.
Sourdough Is the Perfect “Old Lady” Hobby
During an appearance on New Heights—the popular football podcast hosted by her fiancé, Travis Kelce, and his brother Jason—Swift joked that many of her interests feel like they belong to another century. “I’d say all my hobbies could be categorized as hobbies you could have had in the 1700s,” she said.
Sourdough fits neatly into that category. It’s slow, methodical and deeply routine-driven—the kind of hobby that rewards patience more than perfection. There’s feeling, waiting, adjusting and then waiting some more. It’s part science experiment, part domestic ritual. It’s the kind of thing that hooks people once they start seeing results, and the pop singer is no exception.
As it turns out, Taylor has been pretty specific about what she’s baking. On New Heights, she rattled off a surprisingly creative sourdough rotation, including blueberry lemon, cinnamon swirl, cinnamon raisin and even funfetti sourdough. Travis Kelce, for his part, declared blueberry sourdough to be his favorite and affectionately dubbed Swift a “loafer for life.”
If those loaves spotted in Los Angeles were any indication, her friends appear to be reaping the benefits of a very productive baking era.
