As far as Good Samaritan deeds go, randomly giving someone a nice handful of cash so that they could spend it at Chipotle may not rank among the grandest of kind acts but it’s still freaking awesome.
So, hats off to Taylor Swift for being really, really cool and doing just that for a random stranger she met in Central Park on a gazebo that they reached by rowboat (that has got to be the most Taylor Swift-ian way to travel. All that’s missing is a guitar and a couple of sun dresses):

As for the cash, it was a random present which the people who met Swift didn’t even ask for:
@MeldyC really nice! She even gave my friend a little gift!

@MeldyC 90 dollars! Lmao she told taylor that we were going to chipotle and taylor just gave her tht !

Two things.
First, that’s a mighty generous gift that Swift gave with no prompting at all. This only helps cement Taylor Swift’s status as the nicest celebrity who you probably don’t want to date for fear of ending up as the subject of a Billboard Top 100 hit.
Second, holy hell, does Taylor even know how many Chipotle burritos one can get for $90? The answer is a dozen. Taylor Swift literally gave someone enough cash so that they could essentially go buy a dozen burritos. That is a sentence which can only exist in the world of Taylor Swift.
Again, this was all unprompted. The person Swift gave the money to did not even plan on meeting a world famous country pop singer when she went to Central Park and she most definitely didn’t expect the gift of $90 to spend at Chipotle. Sometimes, life is full of pleasant surprises.
