Taylor Swift made an unexpected appearance in a winter photograph, joining two well-known NFL reporters for a fun-filled moment.

The 36-year-old Grammy-winning artist, who recently gained attention for her charitable contributions to children’s causes, was all smiles as she posed alongside sports commentators Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews. The trio was captured in a lighthearted winter scene.

On Wednesday, Thompson took to Instagram to reminisce about 2025 before the New Year celebrations, sharing a series of photos that included the surprise encounter with Swift.

The snapshot showed the pop superstar seated between the NFL commentators, enjoying a sledding adventure down a snow-covered hill.

Swift was dressed for the frosty outing in a stylish patterned jacket, complemented by black pants and tan boots, ensuring she stayed warm amidst the brisk winter weather.

Her blonde locks were styled into a simple ponytail, allowing her bangs to fall onto her forehead.

Both Thompson and Andrews often report from the sidelines of NFL games throughout the season. 

And with Swift attending games at Arrowhead Stadium to cheer on her fiance Travis Kelce, she seems to have crossed paths with both reporters and also developed a friendship as well. 

It is not the first time that Swift has recently been spotted making a surprise cameo in pictures. 

Earlier this month, eagle-eyed fans of the Bad Blood singer also spotted her joining Brittany Mahomes and others at a Kansas City Chiefs party amid the festive season. 

Offensive lineman Creed Humphrey’s girlfriend, Anna Demmer, had shared a group photo from the bash – and some social media users were quick to point out Swift in the background. 

While she was partially concealed by other attendees and decorations, the star could be seen flashing a grin towards the camera. 

Her hair flowed down past her shoulders and the award-winning performer also opted for her signature red lipstick. 

Aside from making plans for her upcoming wedding to Kelce, Swift has also been keeping busy over the holiday season.

On Christmas Day, she cheered on the Chiefs tight end as the team took on the Denver Broncos. 

And during the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, Kelce revealed that the singer gave him the ‘best’ Christmas present. 

However, the professional football player opted to not disclose what the gift exactly was. 

‘The best gift that I got was from Taylor, but it gives away things that we’re trying to keep in house, so not gonna say it. I love you, Tay.’ 

The NFL star added that Swift’s brother Austin also gave him ‘a great gift’ but didn’t offer further details on that topic as well. 

The Love Story songstress has been spreading Christmas cheer this season and recently offered more ‘generous’ donations in both Nashville and Kansas City.

She gave a donation to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt located in Nashville.

It is not the first act of kindness that the hospital has received from the Grammy winner, who notably opened Seacrest Studios there back in 2016 and has also paid special visits to patients over the years.

‘We are so grateful to Taylor Swift for her generous gifts to Monroe Carell,’ Juan C. Salazar, MD, MPH, chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Vanderbilt Health said in a statement on Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s website.

He expressed that the ‘gifts are so timely’ while adding ‘we are also seeing continued increases in the number of patients and families who turn to us for care. This makes a difference for us all.’

Swift’s generosity was further recognized by Debra Friedman, MD, MS, director of the Division of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.

She said, ‘The future of adolescent and young adult cancer research and care is full of progress and possibilities because of the generosity of donors like Taylor Swift.

‘Her gift enables our teams to personalize cancer care for the unique challenges these patients face, leading to improved outcome.’

The performer also donated to Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City ahead of the new year – which also posted the news to its Instagram page on Tuesday.

‘Thank you @taylorswift or supporting Operation Breakthrough. We are so grateful for your kindness and for championing creativity, education, and opportunity for our over 750 students!’

The nonprofit organization ‘provides a safe, loving and educational environment for children in poverty and empowers their families through advocacy, emergency aid and education,’ per the official website.

Friedman added, ‘The future of adolescent and young adult cancer research and care is full of progress and possibilities because of the generosity of donors like Taylor Swift’; seen in October 

Swift’s latest acts of kindness come shortly after she gave an Arrowhead Stadium a $600 tip on Christmas Day. 

Catering attendant Robyn Gentry had been working that day – and revealed her emotional reaction when the singer sweetly gave her a very generous tip in a moving Facebook post. 

Gentry also gave more insight into the moment during a conversation with TMZ as she reflected on the recent ‘loss’ of her children’s grandmother.

She admitted, ‘Everything is hard now. And so, I just wanted to to be able to give those kids the best Christmas possible.’

She dug into her savings so she could give her children ‘the best Christmas I could possibly give them.’ And then a Christmas miracle happened at Arrowhead Stadium.

In regards to Swift’s $600 tip, Gentry said, ‘She didn’t have to do that. That’s not something that she had to do for anybody.

‘None of us had personally worked for her – had encountered her that evening through the entire game. Like, we weren’t even working for her. She didn’t have to do that for us.’

In conclusion, she further expressed her gratitude and said, ‘I hope that she knows from everybody who received something, thank you so much.’

The star has previously been seen tipping service works – such as at a post-Grammys celebration.  

Swift additionally gave a $1 million donation to the charity Feeding America and gave out $197 million in bonuses to her Eras Tour crew.
