(Web Desk) - Taylor Swift, 34, was seated directly behind her. The pop star left her scarf there in Vancil’s hands — and the lucky Kansas City Chiefs fan has still got it in her house, even now.
“The scarf smelled like home,” Vancil told PEOPLE on Monday, just before taking photos of her 4-year-old daughter wearing it.
While interacting with fans from her Arrowhead Stadium box seat window, Swift noticed how cold some people in the crowd were amid the below-zero degree temperatures at one of the coldest games in NFL history.
That’s when the 12-time Grammy winner, who is dating Chiefs player Travis Kelce, gifted the St. Louis resident the — not red — scarf.
In the Swiftie community, a red scarf is synonymous with Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version),” the fan-favorite song containing lyrics about her red scarf an ex-boyfriend kept after they broke up.
“We came, we saw, we conquered, we swag surfed with Donna [Kelce],
Taylor and Brittany [Mahomes] and Taylor gave me her scarf (it was not red and she doesn’t want it back),” Vancil noted in the caption of an Instagram selfie with Swift, Mahomes and her friend Betsy Nacrelli.
Vancil, whose favorite Swift song is “Love Story” and who went to Swift’s Reputation Tour, capped off the caption with Swift-coded emojis.
“During the game, Taylor coined me as her ‘good luck charm,’ noticed my face was bright red and gave me her scarf,” Vancil told PEOPLE.
“Ironically, I was visiting Kansas City that weekend for an event for the jewelry company Collections by Joya, who just released a new charm bar, so the nickname felt even more fitting.”
