Ali Fedotowsky-Manno’s daughter gets Taylor Swift tickets for her birthday

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno’s daughter gets Taylor Swift tickets for her birthday

Bachelor Nation has one lucky Swiftie!

Ali Fedotowsky-Manno’s daughter Molly Sullivan turned 8 years old on Saturday, July 6. To celebrate the day Bachelorette Lead, 39, posted a video on Instagram in which the little girl receives one of the most coveted gifts of the moment – tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

In the video, Molly got some help identifying the tickets from her little brother Riley Moran, but when she realized where she was going with her mother, she became emotional.

“What is this?” Molly – wearing a T-shirt that read “Birthday Girl” – asked her father, Kevin Manno, who was behind the camera capturing the special moment.

“What do you think?” he asked his daughter before 6-year-old Riley jumped in with an assist.

“They say ‘Taylor Swift,'” said the little boy.

Molly then looked at the camera with joy and shock before putting her head in her hands and remaining silent for a few seconds while Riley confirmed to his parents that the gift was two tickets to a live performance by the “Today Was a Fairytale” singer.

In the video, which was shot to Swift’s hit “22,” the eight-year-old completely covered her face with her hands and tickets, so it’s unclear if she cried when she realized where she was about to go, but she clearly needed time to collect herself.

Ali laughed slightly at her daughter’s reaction in the video and quickly looked up at her 41-year-old husband to enjoy the moment.

Molly quickly recovered and excitedly announced to the camera, “I have tickets for Taylor Swift,” before going to hug her mother.

“We are going to have the best time,” the former television personality and host told her daughter at the end of the sweet video.

“I couldn’t be more excited for a magical weekend with my sweet 8 year old daughter watching her idol @taylorswift!!! Happy Birthday Molly!!!” Ali captioned the post.

It’s unclear which show the Nashville-based mother-daughter duo will be taking part in, but Swift is currently on tour in Europe and will return to North America in October for a leg of the hugely successful tour.

After seeing the video of Molly’s surprise gift, Bachelor Nation is just as excited as she is for the little girl to watch the show.

“It’s really something special. A core memory for you guys!!!! 🩷🩷,” said the former Bachelorette Star Trista Sutter wrote in the comments.

Ali hosted season 6 of The Bachelorette and became engaged to Roberto Martinez, but the couple separated in 2011.

She married her husband Kevin, a radio presenter, in 2017, less than a year after the couple welcomed Molly.
