Taylor Swift’s recent gesture just made a fan’s Christmas. On December 25, Taylor’s significant other, Travis Kelce, had a game to play at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bad Blood singer turned up for Travis as usual, and after the game, decided to channel her inner Santa spirit.

As they were leaving the venue, Taylor Swift gave out generous tips to the workers while thanking them for being available on Christmas Day. One of the beneficiaries, an employee named Robyn, took to her Facebook to narrate how the special moment occurred. She revealed that she started crying after she received the tip because it was equivalent to her paycheck for two weeks.


Taylor Swift surprised workers at Arrowhead

On Sunday, Jordyn, an employee at Arrowhead Stadium, took to her official Facebook page to share the story of how Taylor Swift surprised her and other workers at Arrowhead on Christmas. The woman explained that the Kansas City Chiefs had just finished their game when Taylor Swift, Kelce and Swift’s mum came to their area to share some tips and thank them for their hard work, even on Christmas.

“I was working at Arrowhead for the chiefs game Christmas day. I was doing my end of season to do list, talking with my coworkers when security goes to walk through. First it was momma kelce, then it was Travis, and then Taylor. She was running around telling everyone merry Christmas and came towards me, saying thank you so much for working on Christmas, please take this, Merry Christmas. My mind just froze. Of course I said Merry Christmas and thank you so much. Travis and her were smiling so big and just kept saying merry Christmas, thank you for working Christmas but then they were gone.”

She revealed that the Blank Space crooner had given her the sum of $600, which she explained was equivalent to her salary for two weeks.

“I stopped to look at what was in my hand.... $600. My whole paycheck for two weeks. I had just dropped that much for Christmas for 8 kids. I immediately started crying.”

Jordyn has decided not to spend the money. She wrote that she framed a note from the cash and was still contemplating whether she should spend the rest.

“So I came home and cant bring myself to spend it. So I framed one. Still havent spent any, but I wanted to share the story with people who will appreciate it with me & Taylor and Travis are beautifully kind people. It's very true, incredible and very kind people. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me.”
