Some fans really seem to be “the chosen ones”—and Mikael Arellano is one of them.

The Filipino TikTok content creator behind the trending “Bejeweled” dance—that even Taylor Swift herself did the choreography to in her Eras Tour—once again proved how much of a lucky fan he is. Taking to TikTok where he currently has 821.8K followers and 109.1 million likes, Mikael shared that he received a package from none other than the “Nonsense” hitmaker herself, Sabrina Carpenter.

On the box’s handwritten dedication that Carpenter signed, she wrote: “There is only one fruitcake here that you will enjoy. It’s up to you to figure it out. Happy Holidays!”

While opening it up, Mikael revealed that he got official merch from the singer which included a hoodie, shirt, a vinyl of the 24-year-old artist’s latest Christmas record “fruitcake,” and actual fruitcake. Showing his appreciation for the gifts he had just received, Mikael said, “This is the cutest package ever.”

He also immediately dug in and did a taste test. The verdict? “It’s so good.”

Sabrina then responded to Mikael’s video two days after he posted, commenting, “You have my infinite respect for trying the fruitcake,” to which Mikael replied with, “SABRINA I LOVE YOU.”

Mikael also shared a video of all the times the singer-songwriter noticed him on the platform with a caption that reads, “Literally my bestie right there.”

This isn’t the first time Mikael Arellano proved that he’s a lucky fan. ICYMI, in May, Mikael had the chance to not only watch and meet Taylor Swift at The Eras tour, but he also got to hold the “Bejeweled” singer’s hand and receive her iconic “22” hat at the Philadelphia concert. Being known to be updated about her fandom, as a sweet treat, Taylor also did the “Bejeweled” dance for Mikael.
