Taylor Swift’s penmanship was questioned after Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy posted an image of a handwritten note she had sent him Saturday.
The 34-year-old singer-songwriter’s lucrative Eras Tour hit Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium Saturday, with Portnoy, 47, among those in attendance.
Via his podcast’s Instagram page @bffspod, Portnoy shared an image of Swift’s letter, which she sent her brother Austin Swift to deliver to him.
The social media post was captioned, ‘What a gift from @taylorswift to @stoolpresidente at last night’s Eras Tour.’
The letter, delivered by Swift’s sibling, included a green seal with the number 13 inscribed.

The Grammy-winning singer ended the note, ‘I hope you have a blast tonight!! Love, Taylor.’
Swift’s handwritten note garnered the attention of fans for its content and aesthetics, with one fan saying, ‘That signature is wild lol.’
Other comments critical of Swift’s writing included: ‘This is amazing but low key she has terrible hand writing;’ ‘The signature is not what I’d expect;’ and ‘I didn’t think anyone could have worse handwriting than me till I saw this.’
Another said it ‘looks like a 6 year old wrote the whole thing,’ while a fan defended Swift noting her massive net worth.
‘That a 6yr olds $1.6billion signature,’ the fan said. ‘Congrats Dave & thanks for being a Diehard Swiftie & ALWAYS having Moms back!!!’
Swift last month took to Instagram to declare her support for the Democrat ticket following Harris’ debate with the Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump.

The Shake It Off singer penned the correspondence to the media mogul after Portnoy came to her defense after she found herself under social media fire after endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat candidate in next month’s presidential election
‘I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election,’ Swift said. ‘I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.
‘I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos.’
The feted entertainer encouraged her fans to get informed on the issues at hand before casting their ballots.
‘I’ve done my research, and I’ve made my choice,’ Swift said. ‘Your research is all yours to do, and the choice is yours to make.’
Portnoy, a self-proclaimed Swift superfan who has endorsed Trump, defended the musical artist in a post, saying he didn’t change his opinion on her because they have differing political views.
‘As the king of the Swifties people are asking me what I think of her Kamala endorsement,’ Portnoy said. ‘I don’t care at all. People can vote for whoever they want in this country.
‘How somebody votes will never change my opinion of a person. I’m voting the other way but to each their own.’
Portnoy also praised Swift for her efforts during Saturday’s show, saying that he ‘can’t get over how unbelievable’ she is on stage.
After a few fans were critical of Swift’s handwriting, one chimed in with her massive net worth
Multiple fans left Swift’s name out of it as they referred to her penmanship
One fan pointed out that the criticism of Swift led to her correspondence with Portnoy
Portnoy said that he met her brother and mother Andrea but didn’t meet Taylor herself.
‘I didn’t meet Taylor – that’s fine – I don’t think she ever really meets people when she’s performing,’ he said.
Portnoy said the note itself meant more to him since the musical artist ‘took time out’ of her packed slate to pen it.
