Savannah was absent from Today on Tuesday and Wednesday.
She had returned to the studio on Thursday and explained her whereabouts on social media.
Along with enjoying Taylor’s music, and spending time with her daughter, Savannah also ran into some friends.
The Today host snapped a picture with Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay and posted it to Instagram.
Mariska plays Detective Olivia Benson on the show, who Taylor named one of her cats after.
“miss olivia benson is a swiftie and has the bracelets to prove it!!” Savannah captioned her post.
“loved experiencing the magic with @therealmariskahargitay.”
They snapped two selfies together- one where they were on the floor wearing their friendship bracelets and one where they appeared to be in a VIP tent or backstage.
Mariska responded to Savannah’s post and said: “Loved every second with you!”
Savannah wore a shirt that read “Swift 89” and Mariska wore a 1989 shirt with seagulls on it.
Although she attended the show on August 7, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) was announced just two days later on August 9.
SHE’S BACK!
Savannah returned to the Today studio on Thursday.
She was absent due to being on the West Coast for the concert.
Her typical co-host, Hoda Kotb, has been out all week.
Hoda has not provided an explanation for her absence.
Savannah was joined by Craig Melvin on Thursday in the studio.
When both Savannah and Hoda were out, Sheinelle Jones sat beside Craig at the desk.
SWIFT RESPONSE
While still out on Wednesday, Savannah explained to her followers that she was at a Taylor concert on the other side of the country.
She attended the concert with her eight-year-old daughter, Vale.
On Instagram, the TV personality shared two adorable selfies all ready for the concert wearing Taylor-inspired outfits.
“We are ready for it! @taylorswift,” she captioned her post.
‘ENJOY EVERY SECOND!’
Fans and other famous faces commented on Savannah’s social media post to share their excitement.
One fan said: “Wow! She’s so grown up!!!”
“Enjoy every second. Your daughter is beautiful,” exclaimed another.
“SO EXCITED FOR BOTH OF YOU,” commented a third.
Al Roker’s wife, Deborah Roberts wrote: “Yes you are!!!”
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle said: “The bracelets!!!”
During the Eras Tour, fans like to trade friendship bracelets due to a lyric in one of Taylor’s songs.
In You’re On Your Own, Kid from her 10th album, Midnights, Taylor sings: “So make the friendship bracelets. Take the moment and taste it.”
