11-Year-Old Boy Who Wore Wheelchair-Friendly Eras Tour Costume Sees Taylor Swift Perform Live, Gets Surprise from Singer’s Mom

Henry Hinson got the chance to meet Swift’s mom Andrea after he went viral for his Eras Tour-inspired Halloween costume

The 11-year-old boy who went viral for his Eras Tour-inspired Halloween costume has finally seen his hero in person!

On Friday, Nov. 1, the mother of Henry Hinson, Erin Hinson, shared footage of her and her son’s once-in-a-lifetime trip from Kentucky to Indianapolis for Taylor Swift’s latest stop on her record-breaking tour — and revealed that the young fan got the chance to meet the pop star’s mom.

“WE ARE AT THE #erastour 🥹🫶🏻🪩,” Erin captioned one of her posts from Friday, showing off the view from their seats at Lucas Oil Stadium. “For the rest of my life this will be the most amazing thing.”

Henry was gifted a pair of tickets to see Swift, 34, in concert after he showed off his costume — which recreated the iconic pink and orange fans used by Eras Tour dancers Kam Saunders and Jan Ravnik — in a viral TikTok video. The costume even incorporated the 11-year-old’s wheelchair, which he uses after being diagnosed with spina bifida, making him paralyzed from the waist down.

Taylor Nation — a group who works with Swift — then coordinated with Erin to surprise Henry with a pair of tickets. Just two days after the video of his costume went viral, Erin showed off her son’s ecstatic reaction to receiving the tickets in yet another TikTok.

In another one of Erin’s videos shared on Friday, Henry can be seen wearing the same outfit that dancer Saunders wears in the opening song of the tour. Erin also revealed that Swift’s mom Andrea stopped by to give Henry some more gifts, including tour merch.

My favorite @Taylor Swift song for a very very long time is the song Marjorie. My grandmother meant the world to me. This song will now keep with it a new core memory. Imagine our surprise when Andrea Swift (Taylor’s mom) made a special trip to our seats with a meesage and a hug for Henry from Taylor and she brought #erastour merch for both of us. I will never get over this. All of this happening while Taylor was singing Marjorie from stage is something I will never forget. From one mom to another — I will never get over this. 🫶🏻 We also gave her a #friendshipbracelet that said “Henry’s Version. She loved it. #swifties #taylorsversion

“My favorite @Taylor Swift song for a very very long time is the song #Marjorie. My grandmother meant the world to me. Imagine our surprise when Andrea Swift (Taylor’s mom) made a special trip to our seats with a message and a hug for Henry from Taylor and she brought #erastour merch for both of us,” Erin wrote in the caption of a TikTok featuring photos of herself and Henry posing with Swift’s mom.

“I will never get over this,” Erin continued. “All of this happening while Taylor was singing Marjorie from stage is something I will never forget. From one mom to another — I will never get over this. 🫶🏻 We also gave her a #friendshipbracelet that said ‘Henry’s Version.’ She loved it.”

Another TikTok from Erin showed her and Henry’s reactions to the moment when Swift’s dancers arrived onstage wearing the outfits that inspired his Halloween costume.

“Watching him get to watch you guys do something you love was a magic I can’t explain,” she captioned the video, tagging Saunders and Ravnik. “For the rest of my life when things seem big and scary, hard and overwhelming, I will remember these moments from the #erastour.”

Saunders even commented on one of Erin’s many posts from Friday night, writing that he was sorry to have missed the pair at the show.

“I wish I would’ve known what night you were coming! I would have LOVED to come say hello!” the dancer wrote. “I hope you enjoyed the concert!!! Sending all my love!”

Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Olympiastadion on July 27, 2024 in Munich, Germany.

Erin’s final recap video from the concert included a heartfelt message to Swift and her team for giving Henry the opportunity to attend the show.

“@Taylor Swift & @Taylor Nation THANK YOU,” she began the caption. “This REAL TOUGH KID had the time of his life with you at the #erastour. Your generosity, your kindness, your magic is unmatched. This sweet boy will remember every moment of this night.”

She added: “On our way out of the stadium he looked at me and said, ‘Mom, this was the best night of my life!’ 🫶🏻🩷🪩 It was enchanting to meet you #TaylorSwift!”
