Overview
- Swift says the tradition traces back to the black fedora from her Red Tour, revived on the Eras Tour for a recognizable, nostalgic moment.
- During '22,' she kneels to meet a young fan onstage, shares a hug, and places the fedora on the child’s head as the crowd cheers.
- She notes she does not pick the child herself, with staff scanning early in the show for an enthusiastic kid who knows the words.
- Swift describes the exchange as a personal pause in a massive show that “reminds me why I do it,” with reactions ranging from shy to exuberant.
- The End of an Era’s final episodes, which include the segment, are now streaming on Disney+, with availability on JioHotstar in some regions.
