Singer Taylor Swift, who occupied the third spot in Forbes magazine's annual list of the top earning celebrities under 30, gave a generous tip of $500 to the head chef of a restaurant.

The 23-year-old, who made $55 million between June 2012 and June 2013, was dining at the Ralph's Italian Restaurant in Philadelphia with singers Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone after which she gave out the grand tip, reports eonline.com.

The chef said that after Swift's team paid for the meal, they also left a tip of $500, and the "Love story" hitmaker also handed over two tickets of her concert to him.

"It was so kind-hearted of her. My son is 11. It was my son and I's first concert we've ever been to! It was really special," said the chef.
