If her fans can go crazy enough to create a ‘second concert’ outside the stadium, or if the concert excitement alone can go ‘off the track’ to the level where it ends up causing a minor earthquake, then it's safe to say that ‘turning down a Taylor Swift concert ticket’ might be considered as one of the highest sins, at least by Swifties. Yes, take your time to comprehend that because that's exactly what a kebab shop owner did to the VIP tickets he was offered for the singer’s London Eras Tour concert.
Ahmed Khan, the owner of Kentish Delight in London, which is also considered one of the favourites places of Taylor, reportedly turned down the VIP tickets that he was offered by the singer’s management for her Eras Tour concert. Needless to say, the refusal left the fans in a frenzy, as such an offer would have been nothing but like a dream come true for them.
As per the Sun, the reason why Khan had to decline the order was his shop being understaffed, because of which he chose to stay behind. Taylor was reportedly introduced to Kentish Delight by her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. “She first came in before the pandemic with Joe. He knew we had the best kebabs so wanted to show Taylor,” the owner was quoted as saying to the Sun.

She evidently became a fan of the outlet. The shop owner even named a dish after her, keeping in mind her frequent orders for the same dish- a chicken doner in pitta with salad and garlic sauce.
Recalling the singer’s gentle demeanour with people in the shop, the owner lauded her ‘down-to-earth’ behaviour. “It did not feel like she was a big celebrity. She was very down to earth and spoke to everyone with respect,” he was further quoted as saying.
In fact, the shop was also featured in the ‘End Game’ music video of the singer, which came out in 2017.
