Taylor Swift trots up to a young fan belting out her song lyrics. After giving the girl a sweet hug, Swift hands her the coveted 22 trilby, causing the young fan to burst into happy tears.
Footage of Taylor Swift giving a sweet gift to a young fan during her Lisbon concert is melting hearts online.
The 34-year-old singer visited the Portuguese capital last weekend as part of her record-breaking Eras tour, performing at the Estádio da Luz on Friday. The three-and-a-half hour show is made up of 10 acts, with each “era” linked to a different studio album and period of Swift’s life.
As Swifties will know, the pop star has been gifting fans the trilby from her Red “era.” Themed around the 2012 album of the same name, a black trilby was part of Swift’s fashion repertoire at the time, along with short shorts, sequin shirts and horizontal stripes. The hat is worn during the Grammy winner’s performance of her track, “22,” the fourth single to be released from the album.
During each Eras tour show, Swift walks up to a fan waiting at the end of the stage and gifts them the 22 hat.
In a video of Friday’s gig, Swift trots up to a young fan belting out the lyrics. After giving the girl a hug, Swift hands her the coveted 22 trilby, causing the fan to burst into happy tears.
Swift then high-fives the girl, who blows the singer a kiss, before Swift returns to her back-up dancers to continue the performance.
A clip of the moment was shared to X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday by The Swift Society fan account. The snippet went viral, receiving over 500,000 views by the time of publishing.
