People have been left divided on social media after a video of Taylor Swift generously tipping staff at a Grammys afterparty went viral.

The singer had been up for six nominations at the star-studded event but she didn't end up bagging any of the gongs she was nominated for.

While Taylor might have left empty-handed, the same can't be said for four staffers on the door of the event.

In a viral clip, Taylor can be seen leaving what appears to be the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles with her security team, before doubling back to hand notes of cash to several staff members.

As she walks past she can be heard saying, 'thank you so much for all your hard work' before she hands them the money.

One member of staff tells her, 'we appreciate you so much' as she hurries off with her security team and leaves the venue.

The singer is known for being super generous when it comes to tipping staff at events, but people have been left rather divided over the gesture.

One person wrote on Twitter: "Taylor Swift’s always spreading the love! That’s so thoughtful of her."

While another said: "Say what you want about her music, or her fanbase, but she genuinely is a nice person."


However, others were sceptical, with a third writing: "It's so lucky that a camera was there to catch that, surely it wasn't planned at all."

And a fourth said: "Thankfully there was a camera at the ready."

But another hit back: "See if you're Taylor Swift there's cameras gonna be on you 24/7 in public spaces surely that's quite simple to understand."

Last weekend, the 35-year-old 'Karma' singer was one of many celebs in attendance at the Super Bowl and, at one point during the match, she found herself the recipient of a chorus of boos as she was shown on the jumbotron.

The situation made for a pretty awkward moment indeed - one that seemingly baffled Taylor as she uttered a five-word response while up on the big screen.

Lip reader Jeremy Freeman told Tyla that Taylor turned to Ice Spice, who was sitting next to her, to ask: "Wait...what is going on?" when the boos erupted in the stands.

Boyfriend Travis Kelce seemingly wasn't too happy either with the jeering towards his girlfriend, as a source close to him reportedly told MailOnline: "Travis was aware of Taylor getting booed and he felt helpless. Seeing the look on her face got to him.

"He always protects her and it broke his heart. He was already having a tough night and the fact that the stadium was predominantly Eagles fans didn't help. Travis knows that this hurt her and anyone can see this."
