Spencer Pratt clings to hope that Taylor Swift will bail him out after wildfires torched his $2.5 million home. The “Hills” star, 41, emailed the pop icon for help, but insiders call him deluded. Despite her silence, Pratt believes she’s plotting a rescue.
Wildfire Woes and Swift Dreams
Pratt lost his Pacific Palisades pad last month and reached out to Swift right away, he told the Viall Files podcast. He hopes she’ll toss his wife, Heidi Montag, a role in her “Reputation” rerelease project. So far, the billionaire singer hasn’t replied, sources say.
He stays upbeat, insisting Swift might have something brewing, though he offers no proof. Pratt, a dad of two with Montag, refuses to give up on his Swiftie fantasy. Insiders scoff, saying there’s zero chance she’ll swoop in.
Cashing In on Chaos
Pratt and Montag, dubbed Speidi, don’t stop at Swift—they’ve milked the disaster for cash elsewhere. They’ve pushed fans to stream Heidi’s 2010 flop album “Superficial,” which recently hit No. 1 on iTunes. The hustle paid off big, insiders note.
On social media, they’ve played the sympathy card, raking in nearly $25,000 via TikTok and $100,000 in direct donations. The couple’s shameless tactics keep the money flowing. Still, Pratt’s eyes stay fixed on Swift as his golden ticket.
Their PR stunts draw eye rolls, but the cash keeps coming. Montag’s music resurgence ties straight to their wildfire sob story. For now, Swift’s silence doesn’t dim Pratt’s wild hopes.
