Pop star Taylor Swift and her fiancé, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have a connection with tennis that goes way beyond their on-court appearances. As the power couple announced their engagement on August 26, the US Open commentators broke the news of the union during Jannik Sinner's first-round match against Vit Kopriva.

From 'taking shots' with Frances Tiafoe, having a fan moment with Roger Federer and Serena Williams standing up for her, Swift and Kelce have often found themselves crossing paths with tennis in unique ways.

Let's take a look at some of these moments:

#1 Roger Federer meeting with Taylor Swift in Zurich

Self-proclaimed 'Swiftie', Roger Federer, attended Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' concert live at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich last year. The 20-time Grand Slam champion, donning several friendship bracelets, had the chance to meet with the pop icon backstage after the concert as well.

Later, in an episode of The Pivot Podcast, Tiafoe shared how he felt getting drunk with Swift and Kelce.

“I’ve said it in real time, whoever I’m with, like, ‘Yo, I’m out here taking shots with Taylor Swift.' Then Travis and [Patrick] Mahomes, they were like, ‘Yo, we gotta have you in [Kansas City],'” said the 27-year-old.
