‘Today’ Stars Attend Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ with Their Families
Former Today co-hosts Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager enjoyed a night out with their families at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Miami.
Kotb, 60, Guthrie, 52, and Hager, 42, reunited on Friday, October 18, at Hard Rock Stadium for the show, and they were joined by some very special guests. Guthrie was accompanied by her husband Michael Feldman and their children, Vale, 10, and Charley, 7. As for Kotb, the former Today host brought her children Haley, 7, and Hope, 5; while Hager brought her daughters Mila, 11, and Poppy Louise, 9. Sports anchor Lindsay Czarniak was also at the show with her daughter Sybil, 7.
The coworkers posed with their children at the concert for a sweet snap that was shared via Instagram on Friday in a joint post between Kotb, Guthrie and the Today show. Kotb captioned the photo, “SWIFTIES!!!”
Another photo offered a closer look at Hager, Kotb and Guthrie posing together in their Eras Tour outfits. While Hager donned a pink top with bedazzled blue jeans, Kotb sported a black t-shirt with “Swift” and “89” written on it like a sports jersey as Guthrie wore a black shirt that read, “I was there, I was there,” a lyric from Swift’s track “All Too Well.”
Guthrie also shared a video via Instagram of herself, Feldman and some of the kids excitedly walking through the stadium, set to Swift’s song “You Need to Calm Down.” Guthrie captioned the post, “Can’t calm down.”
Following the Friday concert, Guthrie shared another video via Instagram on Saturday, October 19, featuring highlights from the concert, including a snap of her, Feldman, Vale and Charley in their Eras Tour outfits. (Feldman, for his part, was wearing a shirt that read, “Knows every song (all too well).”)
“I was there I was there…thank you, @taylorswift, beautiful Tree and the entire epically amazing #TeamTaylor for the night of our lives 💜,” Guthrie captioned her post.
Swift’s first of three Miami shows boasted a star-studded crowd which, besides the Today crew, included Tom Brady (along with his teenage sons Jack and Benjamin) and Serena Williams.
On Friday, Swift debuted new outfits for her Fearless, Reputation and acoustic sets, and brought out several special guests, including Florence + The Machine’s Florence Welch for a performance of “Florida!!!” Swift is set to perform 15 more shows for the final North American leg of the Eras Tour, which will end on December 8 in Vancouver, Canada.
Kotb’s appearance at the Eras Tour with her Today colleagues comes after she announced in September that she would be departing the show early next year. Kotb cited her children as a major influence on her decision to leave. Her last day as Today host will be January 1, 2025, when she will transition into another unspecified role at NBC.
“Hoda and I have had this discussion for years and years,” Guthrie exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, October 10, of her cohost’s departure. “We’re dear friends and we have a lot of similarities. We’re basically in the same phase of life.”
Guthrie added that she understood Kotb’s family-oriented decision. “We have these little kids that we both feel so lucky that we got to have later in life,” she told Us. “It makes a lot of sense to me what she has decided.”
