Overview
- Catering attendant Robyn Gentry posted that Swift, Kelce, and Donna Kelce, escorted by security, thanked staff after the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game and placed cash in her hand.
- Gentry says the envelope held six $100 bills totaling $600, which she called her “whole paycheck for two weeks,” adding she had spent a similar amount on gifts for eight children.
- She wrote that she immediately cried and has framed one of the $100 bills as a keepsake, sharing photos of the cash in her social posts.
- People, The Independent, and other outlets amplified Gentry’s account while noting it originated on social media; a representative for Swift was sought for comment without a reported response.
- Reporters contextualized the gesture with Swift’s pattern of tipping workers and giving large Eras Tour bonuses, as attention around Kelce’s career heightened during the holiday game.
