KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – Professional tennis player Frances Tiafoe found himself pleasantly surprised after meeting singer Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs game last November. Despite not considering himself a fan of the singer before, Tiafoe was impressed by Swift’s down-to-earth demeanor and knowledge about tennis.
During an interview with Tennis TV, Tiafoe shared how he and his girlfriend spent the day drinking with Swift in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium. Tiafoe described Swift as humble and cool, expressing his newfound admiration for her. He mentioned how Swift had expressed interest in watching him play at the U.S. Open final, which he narrowly missed after losing to Taylor Fritz.
Tiafoe also revealed that Swift mentioned her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was a fan of his. The encounter left Tiafoe with a newfound respect for Swift, despite not being a die-hard fan of her music. The tennis pro appreciated Swift’s greatness and enjoyed spending time with her at the game.
Swift, who recently concluded her Eras Tour, and Kelce, who competed in Super Bowl LIX, appear to be taking some time off to relax and recharge after their busy schedules.
