What if…Appreciation Came with Surprise Gifts?

Here it is—the oldest photo on my phone, taken on November 17, 2023, capturing an unforgettable moment for me and the beautiful gifts from Karen Tatt, an amazing Tommy Körberg superfan from Great Britain. Karen traveled all the way to see the show, and since she’s a fan of my backstage content too, she surprised me with a thoughtful gift. Seeing someone connect with my behind-the-scenes content enough to share a piece of that joy with me—it’s such a special feeling. This photo is a reminder of the magic in sharing moments, even with people halfway around the world.

 In the picture, you’ll see me holding the gifts from Karen, looking both surprised and delighted. It was taken just outside the theatre here in Stockholm, where she handed me the gifts with such kindness and enthusiasm. The background shows the familiar theatre entrance, adding to the feeling of warmth and connection that comes with working in such a community-centered space. 

Featuring me and Karen’s gifts, this image captures a lovely surprise and a testament to how social media brings people together. Karen’s thoughtfulness and her excitement for Tommy Körberg’s work—and even my own little vlogs—remind me why I share these snippets of backstage life with all of you. I never expected my daily posts to resonate so far beyond my local stage, but I’m grateful for each connection.

It’s the moments like this that remind me of the power of community and storytelling, that behind every “like” and “comment” is a person with a shared love for the arts, or a laugh, or just a little glimpse of something familiar. So here’s to Karen and all of you for the support and connection—it means the world to me!
