Arrowhead Stadium Worker Says Taylor Swift’s $600 Tip Made Christmas “Absolutely Magical”

An Arrowhead Stadium worker who went viral after framing part of a $600 tip from Taylor Swift says the moment meant far more than the money.

TMZ spoke with Robyn Gentry, who shared how the surprise gesture turned a difficult holiday season into something special. Robyn recently lost her son, who she says was the one who always made Christmas feel magical for their family. Working on Christmas Day wasn’t easy—but Taylor’s kindness helped make it a day she’ll never forget.

Taylor was at Arrowhead Stadium on Christmas to watch her fiancé, Travis Kelce, play for the Kansas City Chiefs. After the game, several stadium workers received tips from Taylor. Robyn’s totaled $600.

One of the bills—a crisp $100—now sits framed in Robyn’s home as a keepsake. While $600 might not sound like much to some people, Robyn says it equals about two weeks of pay for her. She used part of it to buy Christmas gifts for her kids.

Still, Robyn says the money wasn’t the best part. What mattered most was the unexpected kindness and having a Taylor Swift story to tell during a hard time. She says Taylor didn’t have to tip at all, but the gesture meant everything.

Taylor Swift is known for being generous, but for Robyn, this tip became a bright spot in a season marked by loss—proof that a small act of kindness can carry a lot of heart.
