“Taylor Swift is something special, and what I saw her do for Kobe Bryant's daughter Bianka last night was beautiful,” Smith wrote on his official Twitter account.

That indeed is something special, as that moment will be a treasured memory for Bianka Bryant until the end of time. Knowing how famous Taylor Swift is, not too many diehard fans get the opportunity to see the 14-time MTV Video Music Award winner up close and personal, let alone to share a hug with her on stage with millions of fans watching.

This just goes to show how genuinely kind Swift is to her fans. If even Stephen A. Smith doesn't find fault in something one did, then they must be doing a bang-up job. Swifties love her for plenty of reasons — her lyrical composition is top-notch, her ability to hit high notes is almost unparalleled, and she's just a genuine person through and through — especially if this latest gesture to Kobe Bryant's daughter is any indication. Overall, it'll be difficult for Swifties to find better personalities to admire than Taylor Swift.
