Savannah Guthrie Had a Very Good Reason for Recently Missing 'Today'
TODAY show viewers may have noticed that Hoda Kotb wasn't the only host absent from the show earlier this week, with Savannah Guthrie also not appearing on air.
She had a great reason for taking the day off: traveling cross-country to Los Angeles to see Taylor Swift's Eras tour.
Guthrie shared a video montage of photos and clips from the concert, which she attended with her daughter Vale as an early birthday present days ahead of her 9th birthday.
The mother-daughter duo posed for photos in matching glittering eyeshadow and Swift-themed outfits. They displayed their many friendship bracelets, which they exchanged with fellow fans, and sang along to Swift's hits.
The 51-year-old captioned her Instagram Reel, "memories for a lifetime with my beautiful girl. thank you @taylorswift for singing your heart out every single night. feeling so grateful and lucky to have seen this in person with the little girl of my wildest dreams ??."
Guthrie's fans were touched by her bonding moment with her daughter.
"Oh my !!!!! How I love this !!!! Vale & mom !!!! What a lifetime memory!!," gushed a fan. Another shared, "Hope you had a blast with your cutie!???? My daughter and I had so much fun today but mostly I got to spend fun memory with her!!????????."
Others were shocked by how quickly Vale has grown. "Cannot believe how giant Vale is, Savannah!!!!!!!!! HOW HOW HOW," someone remarked. Another commenter noted, "Wow I just can't believe how fast these kids are growing up! Vale is so great…"
Guthrie also posed for a sweet selfie with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Mariska Hargitay, who had already confirmed that she'd be in attendance at the Aug. 8 concert.
Guthrie and Hargitay weren't the only celebrities in attendance at SoFi Stadium, as Laura Dern, Taylor Lautner, Austin Butler, Kaia Gerber, and Selena Gomez were all spotted at the performance.
It's said Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife and the Duchess of Sussex, was even in attendance.
Seems like an "Enchanted" evening indeed.
