Jazz musician Richie Nuzz, also known as The Neo Crooner, recalled the moment Swift showed her appreciation at the end of the night. “At the end of the night, I saw her walking towards the stage, and then that’s when I realized, you know, she was giving us a tip,” he told Page Six.
“And then she kind of like, did this bow thing, like with her hands, like praise you kind of thing. And, like, blew me a kiss,” he added. “She was so sweet about it, and it made us feel really good.”
While Nuzz didn’t confirm the exact amount, he described the gesture as “generous.” Meanwhile, another musician, Jackson Potter, hinted at just how generous the moment was, reportedly sharing that Swift tipped $200 per band member.

Guests were reportedly slow dancing and soaking in the vibe as the band played “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You,” creating what Nuzz described as a night filled with love and connection.
The outing was kept under tight wraps, with Swift and Kelce reportedly entering the venue under large umbrellas. Guests were also asked to put their phones away to protect the couple’s privacy.
Swift Feels Wedding Pressure Mount
Swift and Kelce, who got engaged in August 2025 after two years of dating, are said to be planning their next chapter, with sources hinting they could tie the knot in New York City in July, and with things moving quickly, Taylor Swift is said to be feeling the pressure.
According to a report from OK!, the singer is dealing with pre-wedding nerves after private details about the ceremony were allegedly leaked. “Taylor Swift is said to be grappling with pre-wedding nerves after sensitive details about her planned marriage to Travis Kelce were leaked, raising fears their long-anticipated ceremony could spiral into a public spectacle,” the report stated.
While there’s no indication of second thoughts about the relationship itself, the scale of the event, combined with intense public scrutiny, is reportedly taking a toll. “Taylor could not be more excited about the idea of marrying Travis, but the reality of planning something on this scale, especially under intense public scrutiny, has left her feeling increasingly on edge,” the report continued.
Report Says Taylor Swift Is Rethinking Details Amid Leaks And Scrutiny
The outlet added that Swift’s attention to detail and desire for privacy have made the situation especially difficult, with the leaks described as “deeply unsettling.”
The report claims the situation has sparked conversations about whether to rethink elements of the wedding entirely, potentially adjusting plans or taking a different approach to avoid turning the big day into the kind of media frenzy she has long tried to avoid.
But whenever the wedding does happen, according to insiders, the couple has asked guests to skip traditional gifts and instead donate to charity. Sources told Rob Shuter’s Naughty but Nice Substack that Swift and Kelce “won’t be needing any gifts,” opting to turn the celebration into an opportunity to give back.
