Taylor Swift vs. Morgan Riddle: Who's really stealing the spotlight at the US Open?

Whenever Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make an appearance anywhere, the excitement reaches a new level. This time, it’s not a music concert but the highly anticipated US Open final between Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner. During the match, Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle’s much-anticipated presence seemed to take a backseat to Swift’s surprise appearance.

The power couple of Swift and Kelce drew significant attention from fans and media alike, as their presence added a layer of celebrity excitement to the already high-stakes match between Fritz and Sinner.

While Taylor Swift got the spotlight, Taylor Fritz’s girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, also made a striking statement with her outfit choice. She shared a glimpse of her exquisite white dress on TikTok, highlighting the delicate pearls and beads incorporated into the fabric. Riddle has always had impeccable style, whether at the US Open or Wimbledon.

Nevertheless, tennis fans soon noticed that, in spite of Riddle’s immaculate style, Taylor Swift’s unexpected visit had overwhelmed the fashion coverage at the event and had taken all the focus away from Riddle’s remarkable look.

Did Taylor Swift’s presence overshadow Fritz’s girlfriend? 

Playing in the US Open final is a significant moment for Taylor Fritz, as he becomes the first American man to reach this stage since 2006. As he faces Jannik Sinner in the final, having Morgan Riddle in the stands must be a morale-boost. Everyone wants family and friends around them during the biggest moments of their careers. However, the fans were not happy that the cameraman wasn’t focusing as much on Riddle, as on Taylor Swift. “Not seeing enough Morgan riddle, Mr. Cameraman,” a fan wrote.

The fans noted that Riddle’s final appearance charm was taken away by Taylor Swift’s surprise appearance, as another fan wrote, “Poor Morgan Riddle, her biggest day overshadowed by Taylor Swift.” Even Riddle herself was starstruck by Swift’s presence. She shared her excitement on Instagram, posting a story with the caption, “Oh my god, mother is here.”

Another fan speculated, “Who’s gonna get more camera time, T Swift or Morgan Riddle?” While Swift’s appearance undoubtedly commanded a significant attention, Morgan Riddle proved her star power in a different way.

Riddle, a social media influencer, is also a well-known Swiftie. When Taylor Swift’s album “The Tortured Poets Department” dropped, Riddle shared her enthusiasm on Instagram with a morning picture and a caption that read, “Have patiently waited to listen to Cowboy Carter until TTPD released and I have an apartment to deep clean all day. Adulting (Morgan’s version).”

Meanwhile, another fan wrote, “Show me more of Morgan Riddle, not Taylor Swift, thx @usopen.” Riddle’s role in Fritz’s journey is noteworthy. Since their relationship began, she has been a constant support to Fritz, accompanying him to various places on the tour. Amidst all this, her own rise to fame, with a unique fashion sense and charisma, has made her a prominent figure in the tennis world.

One netizen said, “Let’s play the Taylor Swift shown at the Super Bowl drinking game except with Morgan Riddle.” Earlier this year at the Delray Beach Open, a noteworthy event occurred when rain stopped Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul’s championship match. Fritz was spotted cooling off during the break, with Morgan Riddle, his girlfriend, by his side. Using the occasion to relax, the couple listened to some Taylor Swift music together.

Both Riddle and Swift contributed to the electric atmosphere of the event today, highlighting the intersection of celebrity and sports. As Fritz continues his quest for the title, the blend of these influential figures has added a unique and memorable dimension to the US Open final.
