Taylor Swift fan’s family blasted for putting up for sale her ’22’ hat from Eras Tour: What is their asking price?

A Taylor Swift fan has caused an uproar by listing the singer’s famous concert hat for sale at $20,000. Swift typically hands over this iconic black hat to a fan while performing her hit song “22,” replicating her look from the song’s music video.

This particular hat, which surfaced on eBay, was given to a fan at one of Swift’s MetLife Stadium performances in New Jersey. The inside of the hat bears Swift’s signature, made with a silver sharpie.

Taylor Swift’s act of gifting her hat is intended to create special, lasting memories for her fans. The decision to commercialize such a personal memento has sparked a significant backlash, raising questions about the sanctity of fan experiences and the ethics of selling cherished souvenirs.

Although the eBay listing has been removed, it was reshared on X, revealing a starting bid of $20,000. The seller mentioned that the proceeds would support the young fan’s college fund.

Swifties quickly took to social media to voice their displeasure. Many criticized the decision to sell the hat, speculating that the fan’s parents might be behind the sale and expressed dismay over the loss of what was supposed to be a cherished concert memory.

“I understand people go through hard times and money like that is genuinely life-changing,” a fan wrote on X. “If they need the money, I can’t hold it against them. It can give them food and shelter for their family. But personally, I would never forgive my parents if they did this to me.”
