Multiple Grammy-award winning singer Taylor Swift, who went out to dinner with Ed Sheeran and Austin Mahone at an Italian restaurant, handed over two tickets to her concert to the head chef.
Chef Shawn Gallo said the singer also posed with him when he asked for a picture, reported E! online.
"I called my mom to tell her Swift was there, and she wanted me to take a picture because she is a big fan. My son has autism, and while I'm at work my mom and my son love to listen to her music. He loves her music!," he said.
The 23-year-old singer, who occupied the third spot in Forbes magazine's annual list of the top earning celebrities under 30, also left a whopping USD 500 tip.
"It was so kind-hearted of her. My son Shawnee is 11. It was my son and I's first concert we've ever been to! It was really special," the chef added.
