They also made sure to capture memories with multiple photos at the iconic Eiffel Tower. However, there was no plan for him to join the ladies in the first place.

Larson replied, “No, I mean, I’ve never I had never gone to uh Europe before, and it just lined up nice. Where we had a small little window to make it there and it was my daughter’s birthday. So um you she’s been wanting to go see Paris or not Paris but Taylor Swift. And I’ve been wanting to go to Europe and it worked out. So, I kind of crashed that party, cuz originally it was supposed to be like a girls trip. And I wanted to go so, I crashed the party a little bit. But no, it was fun to go and see a new place and you get to see that concert. And um, just kind of see how the world is different a little bit, on that side of the country.”

Has Larson started liking Taylor Swift?

Larson sported a t-shirt featuring Swift’s image, and his wife and daughter donned vibrant attire. This turn of events came as a surprise to many of Larson’s fans, given his past critical remarks about the pop star on social media and in interviews. Larson was questioned about his potential shift to becoming a Swiftie after previously not supporting Taylor Swift. He refuted these claims, stating that his minimalist approach at the event extended to wearing only a friendship bracelet. Which he did just because his wife insisted.

Kyle Larson is all set to drive the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, featuring a special throwback scheme honoring Terry Labonte. The scheme pays tribute to the two-time Cup Series champion. Larson has delivered a strong performance, securing three top-two finishes and leading 270 laps across his six starts with HMS at Darlington. The throwback event, a highlight for fans, celebrates NASCAR’s heritage by having drivers sport retro paint schemes. Larson’s homage to Labonte is especially poignant, as Labonte’s final NASCAR Cup Series victory occurred at Darlington Raceway.
