Spencer Pratt is waiting for a response from Taylor Swift — but so far, he’s got a blank space in his inbox.
The “Hills” alum reached out to Swift, 35, “right away” when his and wife Heidi Montag’s home burned down in the Palisades Fire earlier this month.
“That was night one,” the former reality star, 41, revealed on Thursday’s episode of the “Viall Files” podcast. “This is the email. This one is getting read. If you don’t get a response, that’s also a response.”
Pratt, notably, has contacted multiple music industry stars to promote Montag’s now-viral songs, with Pitbull recently remixing “I’ll Do It” from 2010.
He is holding onto hope that Swift replies to his request because the pop star may “have something in the works.”
Pratt speculated, “I think she’s just gonna have Heidi be involved in the ‘Rep[utation]’ announcement somehow. Like, an Easter egg for everyone or something.
“I still haven’t given up,” he continued. “That was a big one night one. I was like, ‘House just burned down, Taylor. I need you!’”
Elsewhere in the episode, the former MTV personality jokingly begged Swift to “email [him] back.”
He quipped, “I lost all the gifts you sent me.”
Pratt and Montag, 38, were among the first A-listers whose houses burned down as wildfires ravaged Los Angeles County.
Pratt’s parents’ home in the same neighborhood was also reduced to ash at the time.
The “Celebrity Big Brother” alum — who shares sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2, with Montag — documented their family’s tragedy via TikTok.
They have made nearly $25,000 in TikTok earnings since the fire, Pratt revealed to Variety, as well as $100,000 in direct fan donations.
Montag’s music has also seen a resurgence, with the singer even reaching No. 1 on iTunes.
Amid her and Pratt’s ongoing recovery from the devastation, he confirmed that they still had his Swift merch when a TikTok hater wrote that “all [their] Swiftie crap was prob gone.”
Pratt silently stared at the camera as he zoomed in on his white and red sweater repping the Grammy-winning singer in his video response, which was set to “Ready For It,”
Swift addressed the “heartbreaking” fires on Jan. 16 while donating an undisclosed amount of money to multiple charities.
“So much suffering, loss and destruction,” the songwriter told her followers while urging them to help however they could. “As so many embark on some of the most challenging times of their lives, there are also many amazing organizations and groups banding together to help these communities rebuild.”
The American Music Award winner’s pals Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry also lost their Los Angeles home, as well as Leighton Meester, Adam Brody and more celebrities.
