“I was just dad of the year,” Hawkins mentioned, “Maybe dad of the century.”
When a video of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce singing “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” by The Darkness started spreading online, Justin Hawkins decided to share his own story about Swift’s music on TikTok. In a short clip, he talked about the amazing welcome he got during the Eras Tour with his family.
“There was a man on a golf buggy guiding us into the main stadium,” Hawkins recalled. “They put us in a lovely VIP area. I had Chris Rock on one side, Roger Federer on the other side.”
Upon reaching the VIP section, Hawkins discovered a handwritten note from Swift.
“What a thrill to have you at the show!” she wrote. “I’m a massive fan of yours and think ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love’ is one of the greatest songs of all time. I hope you and your family have fun at the show! Thanks so much for coming!”

Waking up to loads of messages about Swift and Kelce singing his hit song, Hawkins felt touched and thanked them. His daughter, he said, “can’t wait to tell her friends at school.”
People really enjoy seeing these unexpected celebrity moments.
“I was just dad of the year,” Hawkins reiterated, “Maybe dad of the century.”
Swift turned heads wearing a denim corset, matching shorts, and red thigh-high boots when she showed up at the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener to support Kelce. This came just a day after Kelce’s PR team dismissed rumors about a media plan regarding his relationships post-breakup with Swift.
She also appeared in a 30-second NFL promo video, cheering for Kelce, which highlighted the league’s fascination with her global stardom.
