FORT WORTH, Texas—There are some things more important than tennis. Like Taylor Swift.
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek certainly got the memo after clinching her spot in the WTA Finals semifinals, derailing her post-match press conference to rank her favorite Taylor Swift songs.
After giving Midnights a so-so review at the Tennis Channel Live Desk, “Swiftie” Swiatek whipped out her phone to go deep on Folklore and Evermore, Swift’s pandemic era albums.
“Well from Folklore, I really like Seven. And I also like Evermore, and from Evermore…Oh my God, my mind is blank right now, as usual!” she laughed as she went into stream of conscious before referring to her playlists. “From these two albums, I just like, for sure I like Willow. Cardigan, but these are like the most popular songs…”
Her 6-3, 6-2 win over Caroline Garcia was a distant memory as she went deep into her playlists.
“Oh, Champagne Problems. Duh! I mean. Yeah, that’s all I would say. But I like to listen to the whole album as well. But these are the favorites.”
Asked her take on “No Body, No Crime,” a duet with HAIM, the music discourse delved into the latter’s discography.
