In his failed attempt to get Taylor Swift's attention, Kai Cenat tried to convey to the pop icon that Bri was a massive fan of hers. Shouting out to Swift, who was walking by him at a small distance, Kai Cenat exclaimed:
"Taylor! Taylor! Taylor! My assistant loves you, Taylor! Her name is Brianna! D**n! She went the other way!... I tried, bro. I tried!"
Later on at the event, Taylor Swift once again passed by Kai Cenat, but this time was much closer. On the third try, the streamer finally got her attention and Swift asked how he was. He wasted no time in greeting her on behalf of Brianna, stating:

"Hi Brianna!"

"Blue Ivy is going crazy, she watches everything. I said, shoutout to you, you're doing amazing. Okay?... Then look, right, he gave me his number. Jay-Z gave me his number, okay? He gave me his number, alright? He said, 'Yo, bro! Crazy New York sh**."
