The American player has made it clear that even though her real prowess manifests on the clay court, her personal favorite is definitely the grass-court season. Moreover, it is only at Wimbledon that she gained fame after defeating Venus Williams in 2019. Hence, she wants to give her best during this season as well.
However, the surmounting pressure is something that she needed to relieve and for this, she has taken the help of Lana Del Rey.
Apart from Lana Del Rey, Taylor Swift’s fandom is also stirring up the tennis realm with Iga Swiatek being her biggest fan. However, Gauff is not up to that trend.

World No. 1 Swiatek might be a huge Swiftie, however, Gauff is not there quite yet. She took to her TikTok to make the brave revelation that she is not a huge Swiftie.
Sharing her top 5 Taylor Swift songs, she apologized for not knowing all her songs, as she had started listening to them recently. So, for now, Lana Del Rey is reigning Gauff’s playlist over Taylor Swift.
