Serena Williams is a huge Green Day fan. Her first interaction with them dates way back to July 2007, when they surprised Jimmy Kimmel for a Christmas Special on his show. She joined all four band members as they sang "Jingle Bells" in chorus.

In an interview with Kimmel, Billie Joe Armstrong said that "Disappearing Boy" from their 1990 debut album 39/Smooth, was one of Williams' favorite songs, and she would often ask them to play it.

Some of her other favorite Green Day songs include American Idiot, Basket Cas, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Time of Your Life, When I Come Around, Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 Guns, Brain Stew and Jesus of Suburbia as per reports.

In 2020, Williams was pictured watching Armstrong perform during the iHeart Living Room Concert for America. The proceedings of the event went to a charity to help feed America, but it was more so to give viewers some quality entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
