Iga Swiatek has had a splendid year. She claimed two Grand Slam titles and rose to the ranking of WTA No.1. Further, with her latest win in the San Diego Open, she has marked eight titles under her name this season. These marvelous records show how busy she has been on the tour. In fact, if someone asks how busy a person has to be to miss out on one’s favorite singer’s album, Swiatek’s 2022 WTA season is the standard.

The Pole shocked herself when she stumbled upon the news of a dream collaboration between Lana Del Rey and her beloved pop star, Taylor Swift. She was sad that the hectic schedule of her sport forced her to be among the last ones to know.

The WTA no.1 fan-girling over Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is a multiple Grammy award-winning American singer-songwriter. Swift’s latest album, ‘Midnights’ will reach the market on October 21 and one of the album’s songs will feature Lana Del Rey. The singer herself broke the news and her fans are over the moon. After hearing about the dream collaboration, Swiatek took to Twitter to vent out her disappointment. She wrote. “I definitely play too much tennis if I didn’t know that Taylor Swift & Lana Del Rey recorded song together.”

“How could I live 6 days without knowing?” she added. To her revelation, fans of both the entities had some interesting responses. Many were just happy to know that tennis ace just like them is Swift fan.

Others pointed how down-to-earth Swiatek is and the fame she has earned didn’t stop her from being true to herself. Also, one was taken aback by the innocence in her.

Another fan tweeted, “HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE THIS LADY?” (Google Translate)

Iga Swiatek uses music to calm her nerves

She is among the athletes who seek calmness and warmth in songs. The most recent example of her opting for the same is when she faced an early dismissal in Wimbledon. Her winning streak, which started at the Qatar Open, came to an end in London. Although she executed a fantastic 37-match win streak, all people could see was her failure.
