The NFL’s favorite fan Taylor Swift had herself quite a day on Sunday watching her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs beat the New England Patriots.
The 12-time Grammy winner reunited with Brittany Mahomes after many speculated that they had fallen out.
In their suite at the game, Taylor Swift had some birthday cake (which he dad Scott Swift handed out pieces of to nearby fans), she had special cookies made that referenced all of the “Dads, Brads, and Chads” out there, and got booed by numerous Patriots fans when she was shown on the big screen inside Gillette Stadium (angering the easily-angered Swifties worldwide).

“I hoped that she would get a kick out of that,” Debbie Butters of Coco Butters Cookies, who made the snacks, told People. “When Brittany Mahomes posted a picture of that cookie on her Instagram story I couldn’t believe it. I felt like that cookie had the impact that I hoped it would have…which was to give them a little chuckle!”
Despite that negative reaction, Swift stayed true to form after the game by generously and personally tipping the workers who delivered food to her suite during the game.

So, as one website reported, not only did the food service workers get to meet Taylor Swift face to face, they also got a $400 tip from the pop star.
This tracks with Swift’s previous behavior. At her first Chiefs game this year she was spotted cleaning up some of the trash in her suite after watching Kelce defeat the Bears.
Swift also reportedly gave her entire touring company, including caterers, truck drivers, riggers, lighting and sound technicians, band members and dancers, $55 million in bonuses
Each truck driver on her Eras Tour reportedly took home $100,000 each in bonuses, and there were around 50 of them, so there’s $5 million.
Of course, the tour made around $1 billion so $55 million is only 5.5 percent of what they made. Still, it was a heck of a gesture. Much like what she did in Foxborough on Sunday.
