Former Kansas City Chiefs star Tyrann Mathieu wasn't an avowed Swiftie while the superstar was crisscrossing the globe on her historic Eras Tour. That may have changed on Monday, December 15, when Mathieu, 33, caught a clip of her Eras Tour docuseries, The End of an Era. In the clip, Taylor Swift is addressing a group of her dancers and presenting each with their bonus checks. We don't know exactly how much she gave each individual, but based on their reactions, the totals could have been staggering. "A master class in leadership!" Mathieu wrote via X as he shared the clip. "I may have just become an swifte πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚β€οΈ" The original post says Swift, 36, presented each dancer with $750,000, though the total is censored in the docuseries. Some have speculated that to be the number, while others have assumed $130,000 - a nod to 13, Swift's favorite number. Everything the Chiefs Athletes Have Said About Meeting Taylor Swift The tour itself generated more than $2 billion in revenue and is believed to have catapulted Swift into billionaire status. While tour bonuses are nothing new in the industry, it is rare for an artist to present potentially life-changing money to their crew. Taylor Swift Disney Plus Swift said in the docuseries that she hand-wrote each letter and sealed them with wax, which took her "a couple weeks." "Bonus day is so important, because setting a precedent with The Eras Tour is really important to me, because people who work on the road, if the tour grosses more, they get more of a bonus, and these people just work so hard and they are the best at what they do," she explained. "It's fun to write the notes. It's fun to think about everybody's lives that they're gonna go back to and the time off they're gonna have and the kids they haven't seen because they've been away for months, and just making that worthwhile for them is really - it feels like Christmas morning when you finally get to say thank you." Swift's apparent generosity seems to extend back to before she was the global phenomenon she is today. Ben Clark, who played banjo on tour with Swift early in her career, pointed out that even at the time, she offered her musicians salaries. Yes, Taylor Swift Watched Chiefs Ring Ceremony Via Instagram Livestream "As a new artist, to offer salary is very rare," he said in 2024. "It's almost unheard of, but that's how they ran their business and that's how they took care of us band members." Mathieu, for his part, might be new to Swift's fandom, but he has long been a supporter of her fiancΓ© and his former teammate, Travis Kelce. The two played together from 2019 to 2021, winning Super Bowl LIV together in February 2020. When Kelce, 36, faced criticism in 2024 for a lackluster season, Mathieu jumped to his defense. "To dismiss Travis as being anything other than a valuable weapon, it's just nonsense to even think about it in that way. He's still a savvy player," he said in an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show. "He's always been a heady player, a savvy player. I don't even buy into a lot of the narratives that are being thrown out there right now for Kelce."
