Taylor Swift fans simply can’t believe how much a crew member got as a bonus on top of their salary in a viral post.

Everyone loves to get a bonus after working their butts off on a long and stressful project, as it helps you feel appreciated, and who doesn’t like an extra bit of change in their pocket?

Well, it seems one Taylor Swift crew member certainly has a lot to be smiling about, after revealing how the singer shows her appreciation for her staff who made her tour possible.

In a post that has now gone viral on Twitter, a staff member showed a handwritten letter by Taylor Swift thanking them, as well as revealing their bonus.

The letter read: “Thank you for you superb work on the U.S. leg of The Eras Tour!! Your well-deserved bonus is $100,000. Love, Taylor.”

You read that right; $100,000 on top of their salary...now that will keep you more than glad you put all the work in.

People on social media couldn’t believe the generosity and praised the star for the thoughtful nature as well as the money.

One user wrote: “How kind! The bonus was very generous, but a taking the time to hand write a thank you note...that really says a lot!”

Another commented: “Holy s***, Taylor just changed someone's ENTIRE LIFE with one letter.Who gets a $100k bonus AND a personal note from a global superstar?This isn't just generosity - it's next level human kindness. Absolute QUEEN move.”

With a third writing: “btw this was a BONUS…. like they got 100k on top of their salary !! taylor always takes care of her dancers/singers/crew.”

And another writing “What an amazing human being she is. If only more celebrities and billionaires were like her.”

And for all those who thought this was a one off gesture to just this crew member... well, Swift has shown she is even more generous than it seems.

According to a PEOPLE report from late last year, over the past two years, Swift gave out $197 million in bonuses to everyone working on her tour.

This included truck drivers, caterers, instrument techs, merch team, lighting, sound, production staff and assistants, carpenters, dancers, band, security, choreographers, pyrotechnics, riggers, hair, make-up, wardrobe, physical therapists, and video team.

So, pretty much anyone who ensured the singer was able to bring her best for her fans each and every night she was performing.

So regardless whether your a Swiftie or not... this story has got to put a smile on your face.

UNILAD has contacted Taylor Swift representatives for comment.
