Can you beat it that Tiger Woods is a fan of Michel Jackson and Prince? Sadly, the king of pop is no longer among us, nor is Prince to make the world dance in the Purple Rain. So whose tunes did Woods turn to? Well, it’s none other than 14-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift. It’s not every day that the worlds of golf and music come together. But when they do, the news surely attracts tons of attention.
Well, it’s not the first time the two icons’ names have been put next to each other. Back in September 2023, an intense battle between the Swifties and Mr.T’s fans broke out, and the reason behind the fan war was—who was the more famous of the two? Well, the Swifties emerged victorious in that battle. But this time it’s not the fans fighting but one legend appreciating the other’s work.
Claire Roger from Golf.com chose to share the “incredible news.” with the world through her X handle, which spoke about the 82-time PGA Tour winner having attended a Swifts Era Tour concert back in 2023 and stated, “Just received confirmation that Tiger Woods attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert last year.”
