Days after winning her fourth French Open title, Iga Swiatek found a special way to celebrate by attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Liverpool.

Swiatek, the world No. 1 women's tennis player, posted a video on her Instagram story dancing to "Shake It Off," then a selfie on X after the concert. In the photo, she also held what looked to be a personalized message from Swift.

The five-time Grand Slam winner's Swift fandom dates back to her childhood.

Swiatek revealed in June 2023 that listening to Swift helped her learn English and navigate a difficult time in her life.

"You know, when I was younger and kind of confused about life and when I was a teenager, when I listened to her, I didn't feel alone," Swiatek said. "Also, I learned English by listening to her songs, so she was always kind of close to me."

A day after celebrating her 22nd birthday last year, Swiatek wrote a Swift-themed message on the camera after a second-round win in the French Open.

Swiatek attended the first of two concerts at Anfield Stadium, the home of English Premier League club Liverpool.
