Ice Cream Shop Owner Who Created 'Eras' Flavors Gets Sweet Surprise

Taylor Swift wasn't able to make one Philly-area fan's dream come true this weekend, but she sure made up for it!

Ripleigh Maring, who founded Ripleigh's Creamery as a teenager during the pandemic, hoped the singer might be able to find the time during the Philadelphia stop of her stadium tour to drop by the shop.

The 16-year-old debuted eight new flavors in honor of the Eras Tour in April—Lavender Haze, Bad Blood, Karma, Love Story, Look What You Made Me Do, Wildest Dreams, Feeling 22, and Calm Down—and has clearly been having a blast with her marketing campaign, which included Eras-themed decorations hung on the walls and a cardboard cutout of the "Anti-Hero" singer for customers to pose with in the nearby McSherrystown location.

Unfortunately, Swift, who plays the Eagles' stadium this weekend, wasn't able to squeeze a visit into her schedule, but she still wanted to make sure Maring knew how appreciative she was of the gesture, sending the girl four dozen red roses in her place.

The delivery was perfectly coordinated by a local florist to ensure Maring's reaction was caught on camera, and the young entrepreneur uploaded the moment on TikTok yesterday, May 10.

"There is a reason Taylor Swift is the Queen!" she captioned the video, which appears to have been shot by one of her employees as the florist walked in the front door, calling out, "Delivery!"

Maring was stunned by the arrangement, thanking the woman sweetly before she even read the card.

"You have to read the card out loud!" she countered.

"Ripleigh, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it out to your ice cream shop. I'm sure Karma is amazing," it read, referring to another TikTok where several employees taste-tested the Midnights-inspired flavor. "You are so creative. Keep working hard to pursue your dreams. Love, Taylor."

Maring looked as though she were about to cry for a moment, in disbelief by what she'd just read. Finally, her jaw dropped open, and she looked up into the camera's lens.

"Did you just get flowers from Taylor Swift?" the person filming prompted her.

"Oh my..." she whispered as the florist clarified that it was four dozen red roses, leading the teen's jaw to drop even further. "There's no way. Thank you," she said, the camera cutting off as she teared up again.

Swifties were touched by the gesture, with several suggesting Maring find a way to preserve the arrangement.

"Girl, you need to dry these flowers out and keep them forever," one commented.

"Girl. I press and frame flowers for peoples weddings. I would press and frame these for you 😂," another offered.

"How does it feel to be the luckiest Swiftie on the planet right now?! 🥰🥰🥰," another wanted to know, while plenty of others called this just another example of why they love Swift.
