“I feel the lavender haze creepin’ up on”me”—this is perhaps all that Alexandra Saint Mleux was feeling as her boyfriend Charles Leclerc took her to Taylor Swift’s concert in Italy. The young couple looked so much in love as they watched the American pop star take the stage for her ‘Eras Tour’. After Leclerc’s outing at Silverstone, he had a two-week break before he needed to report to Ferrari for the Hungarian GP. And the 26-year-old used this time to shower some love on Alexandra, as she wanted to visit Swift’s concert.

Not only did Charles accompany Alex on her dream date to the ‘Eras Tour’ concert, he also did some Swifties stuff to steal the fans’ hearts. He showed off the bracelets that the concertgoers had gifted to him (this is customary for all Taylor Swift ‘Eras Tour’ shows). And as Leclerc and his girlfriend enjoyed the Milan edition of the pop idol’s sixth tour, the Scuderia recruit also brought water bottles for Alexandra to make sure she stayed hydrated! Thus, the Monegasque was every bit the picture-perfect boyfriend that 22-year-old Alex could have dreamt of.

But seeing Charles Leclerc at a Taylor Swift concert piqued the interest of some F1 fans. Everyone suddenly wished to know if he was a fan of the ‘Love Story’ star. Thus, when Leclerc appeared for a chat with F1’s Beyond the Grid host, he was asked to speak on whether he was a part of the Swiftie gang. So, Leclerc answered, “I’ve always liked Taylor Swift songs, but my Alex is a huge fan of Taylor Swift like she […] she definitely looks up to Taylor and she loves Taylor….”

Thus, it seems like Charles Leclerc was tagging along with Alexandra Saint Mleux at the San Siro Stadium show as her plus-one. But another F1 star recently dropped some pictures of his outing at another ‘Eras Tour’ show—but who was it?

George Russell follows Charles Leclerc’s footsteps to go on an ‘Eras’-themed date

George Russell’s end to the first part of the Formula 1 2024 season was not a happy one. Even though he showed immense talent to preserve his tires and win the Belgian GP, he got disqualified as his Mercedes car did not comply with the FIA’s rules. However, the Briton decided to brush it off and rejuvenate himself before the summer break ended and the Dutch GP arrived. Thus, he took a page off of Charles Leclerc’s book and went to Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ concert at the Wembley Stadium in London.

Just a week away from resuming his duties as a Silver Arrows racer, George Russell shared some snaps from his concert outing on Instagram. The 26-year-old even gave a caption that said, “SWIFTIE!!” thus leaving no doubt that he has jumped on the Taylor Swift fanboy bandwagon with Charles Leclerc. But who was Russell accompanying at the concert? From the picture on his Instagram page, it looked like he was there with a family member. But his girlfriend, Carmen Montero Mundt, posted pictures from the concert too, thus confirming her presence at the show.

So, one by one, all the F1 racers whom you might think to be adventure-loving adrenaline junkies are turning out to be Swifties! Do you like this girl-coded version of the Formula 1 world?
