Taylor Swift rewards woman with $600 for working at Chiefs game on Christmas Day
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Taylor Swift has once again shown her generosity! Swift rewarded Robyn Gentry, a catering attendant at Kansas City Chiefs’ Arrowhead Stadium, with $600 for working at the Chiefs game on Christmas Day. After receiving the generous tip, Robyn praised 'The Fate of Ophelia' singer and her fiance, Travis Kelce, calling them 'beautifully kind people.'
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are beautifully kind, says Robyn
According to a Facebook post shared by Robyn Gentry in a group called 'Taylor Swift Vault,' she began her post with an excited question, “If Taylor handed you money would you frame it?!?”
Robyn, who joined the 'Taylor Swift Vault' group in September 2025, then explained, “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.”
Robyn continued, “First it was momma kelce, then it was Travis, and then Taylor.” She described how Swift handed her the money, “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."
Robyn shared her reaction, “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 and I stopped to look at what was in my hand.... $600.”
She added, “My whole paycheck for two weeks. I had just dropped that much for Christmas for 8 kids. I immediately started crying.”
She then explained what she did with the gift: “So I came home and cant bring myself to spend it. So I framed one. Still havent spent any 🤣🤣.”
Robyn continued, “But I wanted to share the story with people who will appreciate it with me 🥰. Taylor and Travis are beautifully kind people. Its very true, incredible and very kind people.” She concluded the post, saying, “Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me 🥰.”
