Synonym for evidence.
She actually met Taylor Swift; she showed me the receipts.
The slang term "receipts" originates from the traditional meaning of receipt—a digital or paper proof of purchase. With the rise of social media in the 2010s and the increasing transparency expected from influencers, the term evolved to eventually mean evidence or proof in general. In online disputes and controversies, "receipts" often refer to screenshots of texts, images, or other forms of proof used to support claims. Influencer disputes frequently lead to fans demanding "receipts" to discern the truth and align themselves with the correct side of the argument. Additionally, fans often use "receipts" to prove allegations, like exposing someone's significant other as a cheater.
