Danielle Collins is leading the WTA discussion in the country right now. After stunning Elena Rybakina in the Miami Open finals, she not only secured a massive win before her retirement but also got to experience what it feels like to be a champion. Holding the center stage had an amazing impact on the WTA pro, which she discussed in a recent interview.

Besides stuffing her pockets with a massive $1.1 million prize money, Collins also managed to win the hearts of the crowd present at the Hard Rock Stadium. Explaining how it feels to stand among a massive crowd that calls your name, the 30-year-old compared it to the concerts of famous artists like Taylor Swift.

“I just felt so much love and support today, and I mean the crowd… it’s so interesting with the musicians like if people go to a concert they are for them… it would be cool to be a rockstar because they have all these people like I see these videos like the Taylor Swift concert and it’s just incredible like the fandom,” Collins mentioned, reflecting on the amazing crowd presence on the matchday.

Taylor Swift, currently one of the most loved artists across the globe, shot to even more popularity (if that’s even possible) with her Eras Tour in 2023. Huge sets, colorful costume changes, and thousands of audience members – sounds a bit like tennis and Collins finds a unique similarity.

With this victory, the American star has not only secured a win before hanging up her racker but also highlighted the relationship between athletes and their supporters, comparing it to that of famous artists. However, it isn’t just her who looks up to Taylor Swift for her amazing crowd presence.

The Serena Williams family has been a true supporter of Taylor Swift. Back when the renowned artist touched the bar with the massive success of her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian extended a vote of appreciation for her feat.

“Taylor Swift’s “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the 6th time in 10 weeks. This is a re-recorded album. She is a force of nature,” the Reddit co-founder tweeted, expressing his amazed thoughts of seeing Swift attain such a massive feat.

As the tennis community continues to regard the success and talent of artists like Taylor Swift, it not only creates a sense of mutual respect but also opens the door for a possible collaboration that could be seen on the tennis court anytime.
