Security guard at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in Louisiana wins Swifties' praise for kind gesture
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA: Thousands of Taylor Swift admirers have expressed their gratitude to a security guy in New Orleans for his thoughtful gesture following one of her performances.
The happy security guard helped fans in the outer area of the floor seats, who were unable to retrieve the confetti that was thrown from the stage and hit the floor, collecting it up after one of the singer's performances.
The giving moment was recorded and shared on social media which shows the security guard standing behind the barriers, pouring handfuls of confetti into fans' bags.
A user @swifferwins posted the video on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "That smile says he really knows how much it means to the swifties that he’s doing this for them. i’m SOFTTTT"

Taylor Swift confirms her Eras Tour's final stop is Indianapolis
During the 'Lover' era, Taylor Swift slung a blue guitar over her shoulder and exclaimed, "What an absolute thrill it is to get to say these words to you tonight, Indianapolis, Indiana. Welcome to the Eras Tour."
The singer assured the 69,000 supporters that the Indiana stop was, in fact, the tour's last US stadium, per USA Today.
"We decided we have got to end this tour in front of the most dedicated, passionate, beautiful, enthusiastic, excitable crowd," Swift said.
She added, "So we decided that the very last US city of the Eras Tour would be right here in Indianapolis, Indiana. And I can already tell we made the best decision possible."
Swift had announced that she would wrap up the massive event in December at her 100th performance in Liverpool, England.
The singer told the English audience during her June 'All Too Well' speech, "This is the very first time I’ve ever acknowledged to myself and admitted that this tour is going to end in December."
