    Ryan Seacrest earned many Wheel of Fortune viewers’ approval when he surprised one contestant with a prize that fans of the show described as “epic.”

    The TV personality, who celebrated his debut episode hosting the long-running game show when Season 42 premiered earlier this week, revealed what the thoughtful prize was while speaking with a contestant named Caitlin .

    In a clip of the episode Seacrest shared on Instagram on Thursday, Sept. 12, it was revealed that the contestant and her daughter, Campbell , will soon be taking a trip to New Orleans, La.—a detail that was vital to the importance of the exciting prize.

    After confirming that the mother and daughter are both “huge” fans of Taylor Swift , the former American Idol host revealed that he consulted the pop superstar’s touring schedule and learned that one of her upcoming Eras Tour dates overlaps with the time that Caitlin and her daughter plan to be in New Orleans.

    “We’re going to give you two tickets to the Eras Tour, as well,” Seacrest told Caitlin, who looked stunned by the news as she placed both hands over her mouth. “That’s part of the package.”

    “Thank you so much,” Caitlin gushed as she leaned in to hug Seacrest.

    “I screamed for Caitlin,” one fan commented after watching the video. “Best surprise ever!”

    “Now that’s how it’s done! Way to go Ryan! Making dreams come true everywhere you go!” another fan cheered.

    “Whaaaaa. Amazing. I'd love to take my daughter 🥹🥹,” one Instagram user shared as another noted the prize “made this mama and daughter’s day I mean YEAR.”

    “That’s epic!! 😍,” another Instagram user declared.

    The prize is quite the boon for fans of the 14-time Grammy Award winner , many of whom have struggled to secure tickets of their own to attend her hit tour as it traveled through the U.S. last year and abroad over the last several months.

    While the “Cruel Summer” songstress is currently on a two-month break from touring, she is slated to return to the stage in mid-October for nine U.S. dates. She is scheduled to kick off a three-night run at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Friday, Oct. 25.

    So that's how WoF is going to get people to accept Ryan, by giving extravagant prizes?And by giving prizes of things that Ryan is involved in? See, he is making the show all about him!!
