Taylor Swift was at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas Day supporting her fiancé, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, when she surprised stadium employees with generous cash tips after the game. One worker, Robyn Gentry, shared that Swift personally approached her during her shift and handed her $600 in cash, an amount she described as the equivalent of her “whole paycheck for two weeks.” Gentry said she was overwhelmed when she realized what had been given and later framed one of the $100 bills as a keepsake.

Reports from multiple outlets state that Swift and Kelce walked through areas where staff were working, warmly wishing them “Merry Christmas” and thanking them for being on the job during the holiday before moving on. The gesture occurred after the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game, and Swift’s interaction left Gentry and other employees visibly moved by the unexpected gift.

Swift’s act of tipping stadium staff follows other instances of generous gestures she has made publicly, adding to stories of her spreading holiday cheer through direct acts of appreciation.

The moment quickly circulated online as fans and media shared details from Gentry’s recounting of the event, highlighting the personal interaction and the emotional response from the employee who received the tip.
