‘Blew my mind’: Single mom receives generous Christmas gift from Taylor Swift while working at Chiefs stadium

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV/Gray News) - A single mom got the surprise of a lifetime from Taylor Swift on Christmas Day.

Robyn Gentry is a catering attendant at Arrowhead Stadium. Toward the end of her shift on Christmas Day, she noticed security coming through with Swift.

“She [Swift] just happened to come around the corner after Travis, and she was moving really quick,” Gentry said.

Swift approached Gentry and handed her a wad of cash. Gentry said Swift and Travis Kelce were both smiling.

“I looked in my hands, and it was $600, and I just could not believe, like she wasn’t even counting what she was giving people,” Gentry said.

As a single mom, Gentry has a lot of mouths to feed and said the monetary gift will go a long way and impact her entire family.

“I have four children of my own, and then I have four wonderful bonus children,” she said.

Gentry said that when her daughter was young, her favorite song to listen to was “Shake It Off.”

Gentry said that she could not have imagined something like this ever happened to her.

“It just blew my mind how kind and gracious both of them were. Like they were so happy. Her and Travis were both smiling and so happy to give that to others,” she said.

She has a message about Swift’s generosity.

“It comes from a very genuine place,” said Gentry.
