A ticket taker working at the Buffalo Bills stadium in New York was blown away after meeting and being tipped by Taylor Swift herself.
Jerris Rainey has encountered countless football fans while working at the Toyota Club at Highmark Stadium, but the game she worked on Sunday (January 21), had one particularly special guest.
With the Bills facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce was on the field and his girlfriend and frequent supporter, Swift, was in the stands to cheer him on.

Rainey was hopeful that she'd be able to spot the singer while at work, but she got more than she expected as she found herself actually chatting to Swift.
The worker recalled the encounter in an interview with 7 News' Michael Wooten, where she described Swift as 'very down to Earth'.
Rainey continued: "I just wanted to just see her, and she, you know, 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."
Not many people would turn down a tip - especially not one coming from arguably the biggest pop star in the world - so Rainey said yes.
Swift then reportedly handed Rainey $100, but her generosity didn't stop there.
The singer asked Rainey if she wanted to take a picture together, and Rainey again said 'yes'.
The worker left her shift that night with a picture of herself and Swift beaming at the camera, and later described the singer as a 'sweetie pie'.
Swift was given another reason to smile when the Chiefs won their game against the Bills, with a score of 27-24.
The win put the Chiefs one step closer to the Super Bowl final, with their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday (January 28) now the only thing standing in their way.
However, while Swift has appeared at a number of Kelce's game to show her support, the pop star might not be in attendance if his team makes it all the way to the Super Bowl.
Just days before the huge sporting event, Swift is set to kick off the next leg of her Eras Tour in Tokyo, Japan.
She concludes her gigs in the city on February 10, giving her just one night to make it back to Vegas in time to watch the Super Bowl final.
So while football fans will know by Sunday whether Kelce will appear in the stadium in Vegas, we'll have to wait until the day itself to find out whether Swift will be cheering him on.
