Overview
- Omega Auctions has listed the handwritten note in its Music Memorabilia sale with bidding set to open on December 2.
- Dated December 1, 2017, the card was written ahead of Swift and Payne’s performances at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball in London.
- Swift wrote that she was "always cheering" for Payne, praised his single "Bedroom Floor," and wished him good luck for the night.
- The item includes the envelope labeled with Payne’s name and a personalized "T" wax seal, and Omega cites provenance from a close associate who received it from Payne.
- The auction comes just over a year after Payne’s death in October 2024 in Buenos Aires, with officials later citing polytrauma and toxicology findings of alcohol, cocaine and prescription antidepressants.
