The kebab shop owner famed for rejecting an Eras Tour ticket from favourite customer Taylor Swift revealed a very exciting update.
Ahmed Khan,55, originally from Bangladesh, is the front-man and proud owner of the Kentish Delight kebab shop nestled into Kentish Town, London.
The ultimate kebab ‘boss man’ is first thought to have met the American pop superstar after she frequented the joint for a chicken doner while she was dating actor Joe Alwyn, who lived close by.

Despite now becoming a well-established – and probably one of the most unassuming – Swifties, Ahmed turned down a flashy VIP ticket to one of the first three sell-out shows at Wembley to see Taylor.
His reasoning? Well, in a cruel twist of fate (or bad admin), Ahmed said he was short staffed so had to stay behind making kebabs.
But, in an exclusive chat with Daily Star, the kebab shop owner revealed that his luck might be in for the second stint of the Eras Tour at Wembley.

After he made us the iconic chicken doner with salad and extra garlic sauce, we asked Ahmed if he’s had any luck at scoring a ticket from her management to see Taylor in August.
He turned his head to the side and, with a cheeky smile, he teased: “Maybe…maybe…maybe…”
Ahmed made headlines earlier this week for turning down a coveted ticket to one of the epic shows. However, he ironically couldn’t go as he’s been inundated with hungry Swifties from all over the globe
That includes one fan, Arisa, from Japan, who has travelled across the world to watch 21 shows of the Eras Tour so far.

She came in for the ‘Taylor Swift’ order and even exchanged friendship bracelets with fellow Swiftie Ahmed.
Ahmed told us: “Unfortunately, with my bad luck, I didn’t go to Wembley last weekend. I’ve been really really busy, people travelling from everywhere.
“I have fans coming in from all over the world, from every country – America, Canada, Australia and all the European and Asian countries.
“Friday, Saturday and Sunday concert days were very busy – so I didn’t go.”

Ahmed laughed as the only thing people are coming in for is the chicken doner kebab with salad and extra garlic sauce, not anything else on the extensive takeaway menu.
Despite not having seen Taylor perform live yet, the singer reportedly put in a kebab order of over £450 for the team post-show.
So it’s not wonder why he’s turned into such a Swiftie. He concluded: “Every song is very nice. But End Game is different, so that’s my favourite. She’s my favourite.”
