Taylor Swift tickets are nearly impossible to find, and many fans have complained about having issues with Ticketmaster.
One of Griffin Media’s radio partners, 98.5 The Bull, gave away tickets last week.
A Talala woman who won a pair decided to give her tickets to the woman who lost to her in a radio quiz.
The planets and the fates and all the stars aligned for Kelsey Mullins, but there’s no “Mastermind” in this story, just someone who’s kind.
In a truly American way of winning tickets to see the nation’s favorite pop star, it all came down to recognizing menu items from chain restaurants.
Daniel: “Teresa, the object, the Big Mac.” Therese: “McDonalds”. Daniel: “Right.
“Kelsey, the object, the Whopper.” Kelsey: “Burger King”. Daniel: “Right.
The questions got harder as the game progressed, and Teresa and Kelsey were both successful, up to a question about a fried onion.
Daniel: “Kelsey. It all boils down to this. Where would you find the Awesome Flower?” Kelsey: “Uh, Texas Roadhouse?” Daniel: “Unfortunately, that’s not correct.”
So Teresa Hyle from Talala won the T-Swift tickets. But Tige and Daniel gave him the opportunity to give them away.
Daniel: “Will you decide to give these tickets to Kelsey and her sister or keep them for yourself?”
Teresa: “She can have them.”
Daniel: Oh my word! This is unheard of !”
Kelsey: “Oh my God!”
“I was shocked when she said, ‘She can have them!’ I’m like I heard right?” Kelsey Mullins said.
Mullins and his sister Mikayla now plan to travel to Dallas in April.
“I went to a few gigs with my sisters and it was really fun and there were a lot of great memories and I was like you know what? Leave the good memories to him,” Hyle said.
And this decision already has good things for Teresa. A listener named Sharon called, offering to give Teresa a handmade quilt.
“It brought tears to my eyes. And I would like to give to the family,” Sharon said.
“To think that she wants to do this for me is, I don’t know, it’s just unbelievable,” Teresa said.
