Gentry explained she was talking with some co-workers when security came through, first it was Kelce’s mother, then Kelce then Swift. 

“She was running around telling everyone ‘merry Christmas’ and came towards me, saying ‘thank you so much for working on Christmas, please take this, Merry Christmas,” she wrote.

“My mind just froze. Of course I said Merry Christmas and thank you so much. 

“Travis and her were smiling so big and just kept saying merry Christmas, thank you for working Christmas but then they were gone and I stopped to look at what was in my hand…. $600.”

Gentry explained that was the same as her pay for two weeks, and as a mum-of-eight, she had spent a lot on Christmas. 

“I immediately started crying,” the post continued. 

But despite being in need of the cash, she can’t bring herself to spend it all. She’s also set one of the notes aside and framed it. 

“Taylor and Travis are beautifully kind people. It’s very true, incredible and very kind people. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me,” she finished the post. 

The post was shared in a Taylor Swift fan group on Facebook and has attracted thousands of ‘likes’.

Swift’s generosity for those working on Christmas comes after she donated $1 million to Feeding America and the American Heart Association as well as another large donation to the Recording Academy’s MusiCares.

The Lover singer’s giving spirit was also seen in the recent Disney series, The End of an Era.

During one episode of the Disney+ series, about her Eras Tour, the singer gave out massive bonuses to her backup singers, dancers and band. 

“Bonus day is so important, because setting a precedent with the Eras Tour is really important to me,” Swift said in the episode. 

“These people just work so hard, and they are the best at what they do.”

The bonuses all had a personal touch too, with Swift writing a handwritten note for each person.
