A handwritten note sent by Taylor Swift to Liam Payne eight years ago is being auctioned off.

As Payne pursued a solo music career after his One Direction days, Swift cheered him on ahead of their respective performances at that year's Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball.

"Liam, Long time no see!" reads Swift's message in her signature loopy handwriting.

"I'm so excited for you, you're crushing it out there. I'm obsessed with Bedroom Floor. It's so cool to see you from afar, I'm always cheering you on. Good luck tonight! Taylor."

As announced by Omega Auctions and reported by Billboard, the upcoming Music Memorabilia sale will feature the 2017 note. The item is valued at £5,000-£10,000 ($6,500-$13,000) on the auction house's website.

The letter comes with its original envelope and custom 'T' wax seal.

Omega notes that it was acquired through a "close associate" of Payne's, to whom he apparently gifted the card shortly after receiving it from Swift.

"Expecting serious interest in this. An original handwritten note from TaylorSwift to Liam Payne, December 2017. Offered in our Showcase sale of music memorabilia, 2nd December," Omega announced on its socials.

The auction follows the one-year anniversary of the British singer's death. In October 2024, Payne died at the age of 31 after suffering a fall from the fourth-floor balcony of his hotel room in Argentina.
