What Is Taylor Swift’s Connection to Formula 1? Us Explains


Taylor Swift has a long connection to Formula 1, from helping save the Grand Prix in 2015 to dating rumors with driver Fernando Alonso

Swift’s first link to the series came in 2016 when she was asked by Bobby Epstein, chairman of COTA — the sports’ first purpose-built facility in the U.S. — to help bring fan attention to the Austin, Texas racetrack after a few unsuccessful years. It was also Swift’s only performance in 2016 — one that at the time marked one of her biggest concerts yet and received rave reviews — and occurred right before her decision to hide from the public after her high profile breakups and ongoing feuds with West and Kim Kardashian.
