It is mama Swift that chooses who gets the hat unless it is someone Taylor knows like Gracie Gomez or Kobe Bryant's daughter. Her Mom and Dad go everywhere she plays since she first started(like at fairs until now.) Her mom and dad used to walk around and pick who had the best signs, had the best Taylor outfit or was having the most fun and give them passes for a meet and greet after the concert. Her parents seem so cool. You can tell Taylor was raised right. She still writes handwritten letters, which is a lost art. Hardly anyone does that anymore. The recipients are so grateful that they matter enough to get a personal letter. It means actual thought and time were put into it. It might be a Southern thing. We were raised to send hand written letters even when email and texting came along. Her parents are also very involved in her brother Austin's life. Not controlling parents but involved in a good way. I heard an interview from someone who has worked on a couple of her tours in the background part(not a dancer, or the people she interacts with daily on tour) and they said it is amazing how much of an family environment her tours are. She is very lucky to have such a close supportive family.

I think it’s awesome of Taylor to give all these kids the memory of a lifetime.

Andrea may not pick every single person getting the hat but she has definitely picked a number of them. I would venture a guess that she's probably even picked most of them, unless Taylor or someone else on staff has a specific person they request. One girl even asked for a picture with Andrea before the start of a show and ended up being escorted by security up to the side of the stage to get the hat. The only person with as much pull as Taylor has, in Taylor world, is Andrea.

*Mama Swift does most of the choosing and then on special occasions, Taylor will choose someone. It was Daddy Swift who worked out the Movie Deal with AMC movie theater when all the Movie Studios were selfishly greedy, so Daddy Swift bypassed them all and went straight to the theater owners. So everything they do is a family affair.*

Yeah your theory is probably right, and I always wonder what is the process of choosing the person to receive the hat ❤

I’m pretty sure Taylor is the one that picked Leyton. She went to Steph’s house during Swiftmas and has acknowledged Leyton through the years since. He always gets super excited. I love that.

Her tour will be my very first of her and I'm so excited!!! Got my outfit picked out already, will be with 2 friends there as well! I've never been more hopeful about getting something like I'm with the 22 hat, tho I doubt I'll get it haha

It’s totally up to them. As long as everyone else is having a blast, there’s no issues.

Omgggg I’m sat in more or less the same spot for Wembley, my hopes are way too high😂😂

I love that KZfaq recommended this to me after 13 days❤

Taylor's eyes won my heart.

Dude, that taylor swift is the most FAMOUS person and most LOVED person. Shes musical and she WILL bring it like a superhero superstar superstar superstar

She does choose the person aside from Kobe Bryant's daughter she has chosen everybody

Good observation 🙋🏻‍♀️

Going to Taylor this weekend

So in other words if you have the extremely high dollar seats and if you're a little girl you might have a chance. Nobody else in the stadium has a chance unless they buy the high-dollar seats

I want to be the girl that received the hat 😭😭

If only she could’ve seen me in the 500s

This tracks. Britney during her vegas run had her dancers walk around before the shows starts to pick someone to come on stage with Britney.

they actually took the little girl to VIP with mama swifts mum ^^ i saw a video on it it was so adorable

That is such a great concert story

i’m pretty sure sometimes if taylor notices somone who she has came across on social media she picks them herself, mama swift defo picks a few! and i’m pretty sure security has picked many since in 2023 a couple pepole got chosen who were in nosebleeds.

I’ll do anything to meet Taylor,ANYTHING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Seems pretty likely this could be the case

Mama swift chooses a person and security brings them to the stage to receive the 22 hat

Your theory might well be right, but a lot of people with the 22 hat, taylor has somehow communicated with on social media (e.g liking or commenting on multiple posts)

I'm going to the eras tour when we can get tickets and it's near where I live and I am gonna scream my heart out to get the 22 hat lol

I’m praying now when I go I get it cause I’m on floor 😂

If you look behind mama swift in the first picture you can see Taylor running

Ya it’s like that

I'm watching this on 13 march at 00:13 am ❤

IM SO JEALOUS WHEN EVERYONE GETS THE 22 HAT

That is how thay pic them out

Every concert she picks one lucky fan to get her hat

I think she always chose a little kid

Omg that’s cool

I'm going to the eras tour for the first time and i want to 22 hat so bad😭

I’m a big fan of Taylor swift

My dream is to get the hat, which is probably not going to happen lol

MY theory if that she looks at all the people who are in the stadium closely and sees who's singing and dancing and jumping crazily like a maniac and it makes her happy and laugh and then she gets the security to bring down that person to the stage and then yeah, they get the 22 hat. But if she's giving away that much 22 hats, she must have a whole heap of them.

Do you think it would be possible to get it in the middle of the stadium up towards the back? 💜

Guys I’m going to Wembley in August and I’m a child so I am also sitting not on the floor but not too high up in the stadium to the right or left. I can’t remember LOL do you think that they have to sit on the floor to get chosen?

Yea

Do you know if there will be a possibility even in the nosebleeds or obstructed view?

So apparently in this particular story the girl had seen mama and papa Swift and a security if she could say hi and they said okay and after that she was chosen

Omg i'm going to the eras tour in the Netherlands i hope i get the hat

at the 1989 hyde park concert mama swift picked the two girl next to us for the meet and great cos of their outfits

Ye that’s what happened that I saw to bc I was sitting next to the girl 😊

Did you go to LA night 5? If you didn’t, what one did you go to?

It the 22 hat only for the front section? I’m gonna be at the second/back section but first row. Is there still a chance Taylor could see me and I could get the 22 hat?

That theory is probably not true because there are some back row people like really back and they get picked

It varies. Sometimes its planned.

Did anyone see the red stanly cup

I can confirm that this is wrong but due to confidentiality, i cannot disclose how it really works either.

The two women and child went to the vip space where you see mama Swift

I’m going in Milan and my seats are in general admission (VIP) but I’m 12 so do you think that’s too old?

I think this is true if the girl in front of u looked like the girl from night 5 then ur right

I'm eleven and I'm going to the eras tour, any tips on getting the 22 hat?

Okay now i'm pretty sure i'll never get the 22 hat... i'm never the one who get picks of someone and noone finde me in a big crowd so i'll never hug taylor

I’m so delelu cause I’m sitting in a similar area.. probably not gonna happen but.. :D also it’s like 10 months until we go

But mama Swift can choose anyone she wants or only people from the nearly sits?

In any other context Id be worried for the lives of these people...

Does she come up to obstructed view? That’s where I am and I’m sad because I don’t think she does and I don’t even get a chance to get the 22 hat 😢

ATTENTION ALL SWIFTIES! on DECEMBER 13th we decided that we are going to stream 1989 (Taylor’s version) as much as we possibly can so it hits the hot 100s copy and paste this everywhere so people see it! :)

I’m going to the New Orleans show, and I’m in a section on the right. If mama swift comes walking by my section, I will freak out! 😆

Btw she always chooses kids also

Ok so now when I go I have e to MAKE SURE mama swift sees me 😂

i really hope that i get the 22 hat😭 idk if she only picks people on the floor tho. i hope not bc i dont have floor seats😭😭💀

Where is that short of the girl getting the 22 hat?

How far back can ypu go to not get the hat? ❤

It is all pre arranged.

My daughter was in the VIP 1 row 4 (11 y.o) she was dancing and singing so hard until she lost her voice for somedays after the tour but she didn’t get picked for the 22 hat. Does taylor swift only pick young kids?

You have to get VIP to get hat

Maybe She just picks a random person 🤯🤯🤪

Mama swift dose the choosing so don’t go buying the seats that are like really expensive trying to get the 22 har because taylor doesn’t pick them

WAIT IM 7 AND I DANCE TO MUCH LISTENING TO TAYLOR I HAVE A 1000900. CHANCE TO GET THE HAT

What if your in the noesbleeds

Does it matter the section your in like does she only pick from a specific section?

do you know what the seat numbers were?

Also my theory is that i see her giving it to younger children like maybe 11 12 or 10 in a age range but idk what do you think

Wait NIGHT 5???

Is it possible to receive the 22 hat if u arent at the floor seats??

Can i still get the hat while im In 7th row

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Where does mama swift normally sit?

Taylor swift chooses the person and why did they get thrown out by security?

I think it's lily

Can kids sit on the floor seats?

My name is michelle

That would be my dream! 💜💜🥹 have Tay hug you

What seat was the girl in?

I think she only gives the hat to children or teens.

But momma swift is not at every show

It can’t be Taylor Swift herself that chooses the person

OK so you just told us a whole story but then you just ended up by answering the question how does Taylor Swift choose who she wants to come give the 22 hat by saying she kind of just chooses that did not answer the question

Maybe Kobe Bryant's daughter was chosen in a different way

It’s her choice. Not yours!

I think it’s unfair to choose 1 person at least choose a group of 5

To me I couldn’t tell you any song she sings I heard of her but not till I saw a commercial recently I said wow (Visual) I hate anything Kansas City anything But That’s entertainment I truly respect both these positive caring individuals that Just care Stand tall you will encourage others Sometimes words do hurt you Now you both have a hate groupies cult Who cares I’ll laugh with you both As a child I once Was introduced to Rosie Greer of the rams Other than his size All I remember is him saying Power to the people Things never change This. Stand up movement to all wrong Will totally be positive I still hate red and gold Every year in the nfl 😎

your wrong people have to do a video to be picked
