Swiatek expressed an awkward moment when she responded back by saying- “I thought celebrities!” This Polish tennis star stuck to her answer as she said- “I would know that these are tennis players but honestly, the first one, I mean Katy Perry,  She could have worn that so.”

Swiatek might surprise her fans by speaking of Katy Perry, however, in reality, she likes several genres. Her taste varies from rock to jazz. She was previously spotted warming up with Guns N Roses’s famous song Welcome to the Jungle before her matches.

About her music taste, Swiatek said- “Actually it’s weird because my parents aren’t listening to music and my older sister, so I kind of learned it on my own, I remember that I was traveling with many coaches when I was younger from the Polish Tennis Association and each one of them gave me something new.”

Swiatek’s music journey is as interesting as her professional tennis journey. She once said– “I like every genre, I started listening to jazz lately even, so that’s something new for me, I don’t know what to tell you, I just wanted to have like bigger knowledge about something that is not tennis.” Now from Coldplay, and Nina Simone, to The Doors, Swiatek’s playlist is a full roller coaster ride for music enthusiasts.

This Polish WTA star’s response to Venus Williams’s iconic dress hinted to fans that Swiatek might be interested in Katy Perry’s music. What are your thoughts on the WTA number one’s initial response and her love for music?
