Swiatek has long been a self-proclaimed ‘Swiftie'. The 24-year-old has often shown her love for the pop star's music and even attended an Era’s Tour concert in 2023. Most recently, Swift announced that she would soon be releasing her 12th studio album. The American also revealed that she would be making her long-awaited appearance on boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason’s ‘New Heights’ podcast.

Responding to all the exciting announcements made by Swift, Iga Swiatek told the Tennis Channel:

“I was awake but I wasn't on the internet. I think I saw it (Swift's album announcement) a bit later and yeah, (I was) like ‘oh my god'. I'm just super happy you know. But first I'm like waiting for the podcast and then we'll see what she tells us because now we don't even have an album cover. So I guess there's a lot to think about and to be excited about. I'm super excited and I hope it's going to be a good one.”

Later, after sealing her quarterfinals berth at the Cincinnati Open, Swiatek wrote on Instagram:

“Good day at the office. Thanks for cheering. Now let's wait for all the details about ‘The Life of a Showgirl. #firstthingsfirst.”

The 24-year-old was clinical in her display, and she needed no time to adjust to the courts as she clinched a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Potapova.

Swiatek was supposed to face off against 25th seed Marta Kostyuk in her third round, but the match was cancelled after Kostyuk chose to withdraw from the event.

Most recently, Iga Swiatek battled Sorana Cirstea at the Cincinnati Open. The former US Open champion was in control of the ball throughout the match, notching a 6-4, 6-3 win.
