Spencer Pratt has revealed that he contacted Taylor Swift soon after he and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost their home to the Pacific Palisades Fire earlier this month.
However, Pratt is yet to get a response from the pop star, though he maintains hope that she will reply to his email.
Pratt and Montag are among the celebrities who lost their properties in the Los Angeles wildfires and have documented their experience on social media.
Spencer Pratt Reveals He Reached Out To Taylor Swift After Losing Home
On Thursday, Pratt appeared on the "Viall Files" podcast and revealed he sent an email to Swift soon after his home burned down.
He said per Page Six, "That was night one. This is the email. This one is getting read. If you don't get a response, that's also a response."
Despite not getting a response from Swift, Pratt hoped she would reply because she may "have something in the works."
He speculated that Swift might involve his wife, Montag, in a "Reputation" announcement after Swifties theorized their fave could be ready to release "Taylor's Version" re-recordings of her 2006 album, "Taylor Swift" and 2017 album, "Reputation," after they appeared to be removed from Spotify.
Pratt said, "I think she's just gonna have Heidi be involved in the "Reputation" announcement somehow. Like, an Easter egg for everyone or something."
Spencer Pratt's Email To Taylor Swift
"The Hills" alum remained hopeful and revealed the content of his email to Swift.
He revealed, "I still haven't given up. That was a big one night one. I was like, 'House just burned down, Taylor. I need you!'"
In another part of the episode, Pratt playfully begged Swift to "email [him] back." He also said he had "lost all the gifts" the singer sent him.
Earlier this month, Pratt told a fan who asked if he lost his Taylor Swift merchandise in the fire, and he responded via a video on TikTok.
In the video, the television personality stared at the camera while zooming in on his white sweater with red writing that read, "TAYLOR SWIFT."
The background music in the video was "Ready for It?" from Swift's "Reputation" album.
Spencer Pratt And Heidi Montag Get Help From Fans After Losing Their Home
Pratt's special request to Swift continues his and Montag's outspokenness since losing their home to the fires.
The couple, who shares sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, have not shied away from seeking help since the fire tragedy which also burned Pratt's parents' home.
Pratt told Varietyhe earned about $24,000 on TikTok after the fire tragedy, adding, "So that's phenomenal and life changing. That's the power of individual supporters, people just backing you and getting behind you."
The couple also made over $100,000 from donations after two TikTokers created a GoFundMe page for them.
Heidi Montag's Musical Resurgence
In addition to the donations, Montag has enjoyed a musical resurgence and even reached No. 1 on iTunes after Pratt urged fans to stream her music to help her earn some streaming revenue.
Pratt has since beckoned on music stars to promote his wife's now-viral songs, with Pitbull heeding the call and remixing her 2010 tune, "I'll Do It."
Despite her recent gains, Montag continues to count her losses and reflected on them during an interview with Vogue.
She told the outlet how she felt about losing her clothes in the fire, saying, "You know, I'm very conflicted with it. It sounds silly, but I was so sad about losing my clothes."
Montag added, "They're just things, but they're things that I spent 15 to 20 years collecting. Things I wore to a special place, with special people."
Pratt's Love For Taylor Swift
Pratt has always been a huge fan of Swift and attended her "Reputation Stadium Tour" in 2018.
There, he got to meet the pop diva and introduced her to his oldest son, Gunner. That memory would always remain with Pratt, who gushed about it during an interview with Cosmopolitan.
He said, "My only issue with the whole experience is it's over. If the world felt more like a Taylor Swift concert, I don't think there would be wars."
Pratt added, "I don't want to shade anybody, but you don't need to take a bunch of drugs and go into the desert for Burning Man. Have a skinny margarita and go to a Taylor show."
He also said, "You don't need to trip out? You don't need to go to [Electric Daisy Carnival] and OD. Just put on one of these Taylor wristbands and just get in the middle."
