Taylor Swift Gives ’22’ Hat to Young Fan Eloise She Vowed Years Ago She Would ‘Totally Meet’ One Day

The full-circle “22” moment came when Eloise’s mother, Cindy Childs, documented her Eras Tour experience on social media — where she was joined by Eloise during Swift’s second gig this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium.

In new viral clips shared to X (formerly Twitter), Swift could be seen walking down the catwalk before squatting down and presenting the hat to Eloise, who was dressed in a sequin jacket and silver dress reminiscent of Swift’s tour wardrobe.

After embracing the young girl with a hug, Swift pointed at her and did a rocking-baby motion, appearing to mouth that she had known Eloise since she was a baby.

Swift then seemingly touched Cindy’s hand before heading back to the stage to continue her performance, but not before giving her old pal Eloise a quick high-five.

After it all went down, the mother expressed her gratitude on X toward Swift and her fellow fans.

“The way I’m still crying happy tears,” Cindy wrote. “I’ll never be able to thank you enough, @taylorswift13 & @taylornation13 , for the most magical evening! Dreaming instead of sleeping over here, forever and ever 🫶🏼🥹😭✨”

As several fan accounts noted on social media, Swift has previously viewed Cindy’s Instagram Lives, and even made touching — and sometimes silly — comments about Eloise when she was just a baby. Among those comments were Swift writing Eloise’s name in all-caps, playfully telling Cindy to “let her sleep” and informing the mom that she’ll “totally meet” her then-infant daughter.

“She’s a tiny baby and I will totally meet her and A when they’re not 3 months old and jus tryna GET SOME REST,” Swift wrote several years ago, per fan screenshots shared by the girl’s mother.

Fans have since shared their delight at the “22” hat moment between Swift and one of her biggest fans. “What a full-circle moment it is for Taylor to finally meet Eloise, @talldrinkhappy ! ♥️,” the official Taylor Nation account wrote on X. “It’s been a long 7 year wait! 🥹 We are so happy for her! #IndyTSTheErasTour #TSTheErasTour”

Cindy also shared her excitement to X beforehand, writing that she was “positively overwhelmed with all of the Swiftie love” for her daughter, and even provided her seats for those who wanted to “trade bracelets” with the pair.
