Erin said, “We had the night of our lives. Such a special moment that Andrea made the trip to our seats to say hello. We felt so seen and so included. Absolutely blown away by their kindness and generosity.”
Henry’s viral Halloween costume leads to concert tickets
Henry’s costume journey began when he decided to dress up as Kameron Saunders, one of Taylor Swift’s dancers, after watching the Eras Tour performance on Disney+. Donning an elaborate recreation of Saunders’ outfit from the show’s opening number, Henry caught the internet’s attention.
His mom’s TikTok post of the costume garnered nearly 4 million views, including a comment from Saunders himself, who called the tribute “remarkable and elaborate and generous.”
Swift’s team took notice, and two days after the costume video went viral, Henry’s mom shared a joyful announcement on TikTok that he would be attending Swift’s Indianapolis concert, courtesy of Taylor Nation.
"I've gotten a lot of messages, but today I got a message from Taylor Nation. They are giving us two tickets to one of the shows in Indianapolis," Hinson says to her son, who starts screaming before she can finish. "So, you are going to the Eras Tour."
At the concert, Henry shared a friendship bracelet with Andrea that said "Henry's version."
