A lucky Filipino Swiftie surely had the time of his life after receiving the iconic "22" hat from American singer Taylor Swift herself!
Mikael Arellano, the creator of the popular "Bejeweled" dance craze on Tiktok, shared a video clip of himself getting the hat that Taylor was wearing when she was performing "22" in the "The Eras Tour" concert in Philadelphia County, United States.
"what a magical weekend ✨ #taylorswift #swiftie #swifttok #tstheerastour #phillytstheerastour" he captioned.
But not only the 33-year-old singer gave away her hat, she also held Mikael's hand and made the iconic handshake in the "Bejeweled" dance trend.

In an interview with Canadian media Etalk, Mikael shared that during the Philadelphia concert, someone from Taylor Nation came up to him and brought him to the center of the stage.
"22 started playing. She came up to me and then she did the dance for me, and then she kind of kneeled down to give me the hat," he recounted.
"I don't normally wear hats, but it is the only hat I want to wear. It is in my closet because I wanted to keep it safe," Mikael jokingly said.
The 21-year-old content creator also shared that Taylor made him feel like a Disney character and that their enchanted encounter was a "dream" for him.
