Taylor Swift has been called a ‘sweetie pie’ by a worker at Highmark Stadium after the 12-time Grammy winner gifted her a $100 tip and a picture during her time in Buffalo. Swift came to Western New York to watch her Kansas City Chiefs tight end boyfriend Travis Kelce play in the AFC Divisional round against the Buffalo Bills.
Jerris Rainey, a ticket taker for the luxury boxes at the stadium, ran into Swift and received the generous gift and photo, per ABC7 in Buffalo. ‘She’s a sweetie pie. Very down to Earth,’ Rainey told the television station. ‘I just wanted to just see her, and she stopped and she asked me if I worked at the stadium.’
‘I said yes, and she asked if she could give me a tip. And she gave me $100 and then she asked if I wanted to take a picture with her and I said yes,’ Rainey continued. The pop star has been spotted tipping stadium workers well before, having done so at the Chiefs vs Patriots game a little more than a month ago.
On Sunday, Swift was in a luxury box with several members of the Kelce family. It meant a first-time ever meeting with Philadelphia Eagles center, and Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie. Swift has been at around a dozen of Kelce’s games since they started dating, with this weekend’s AFC Championship against the Ravens in Baltimore.
There has not been a clear indication as to whether Swift will make her way to Maryland, but she is expected to be an attendance. Should the Chiefs defeat the Ravens, Kelce will be playing in his fourth Super Bowl, but first with Swift on his arm.
Swift’s Japanese dates of ‘The Eras Tour’ conclude from the Tokyo Dome on February 10, which will be plenty of time to fly to Las Vegas for the NFL championship game. Kelce has won two Super Bowls with the Chiefs, including last season’s title over Swift’s hometown Philadelphia Eagles.
