Olympia's first concert was Taylor Swift—can any artist top that magical experience for a 7-year-old?

Serena Williams‘ daughter, Olympia’s love for Taylor Swift began in 2023. Her father, Alexis Ohanian, announced on X that she had discovered the singer: “Well, Jr has discovered @taylorswift13 — GG.” Soon, Alexis himself was caught up in Swift’s magic. Fast forward to the present. While Swift is performing her first of three nights in Miami, the Ohanian family attended the Eras tour on Saturday. Ohanian has become a true “Swiftie”, as evident in the concert photos.

As the final leg of Taylor Swift’s highly acclaimed Eras Tour unfolds, excitement is palpable among fans, including Olympia. On October 15, Swift herself took to Instagram to share the momentous news, stating, “We’ll be kicking off the final leg of The Eras Tour[that has spanned two year] this week, which is hard to comprehend. This tour has been the most wondrous experience, and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way.” The exciting news created a buzz at the Miami concert, which was attended by famous athletes like Serena Williams and Tom Brady.

On October 19, Ohanian shared photos from the concert, giving fans a peek into their incredible evening. The caption reads, “I’m a Swiftie now. Amazing experience. Fantastic performance. Olympia’s first-ever concert will be VERY hard to top. Thank you, @taylorswift.” Not only that, he talked about how special the occasion was and acknowledged that it would be “very hard” to top his daughter’s first concert at age seven. Not just that, tennis icon Serena Williams was seen waiting for the show to start in a photo she shared on Twitter.

NFL legend Tom Brady shared a photo on his Instagram Story of himself with his sons, Jack and Ben, at the Eras Tour, with a caption, “Boys night at the Eras Tour [laughing emoji]”. Moreover, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce couldn’t attend the Eras Tour because his team was preparing for a road trip. However, other members of his family, including his brother Jason, his mom Donna, Jason’s wife Kylie, and two of their children, were at the concert.

This was not the first time Taylor Swift’s impact had spread throughout the Ohanian household. Alexis Ohanian has indulged his daughter’s love for the pop star in other creative ways. A few weeks back, the dotting father created individualized arithmetic challenges for Olympia using artificial intelligence (AI) that matched her interests.

Along with witty allusions to Swift, the personalized questions also included references to Beyonce, Simone Biles, and Angel City FC. In addition, he wrote, “I started using AI to help write extra math problems for Jr that are all designed around her interests. So far, so good.” Nearly a month ago, Serena Williams made a bold statement regarding her 7-year-old daughter’s growing interest in Taylor Swift.

Olympia’s affinity for Swift is hardly surprising, given her mother’s close relationship with the pop sensation. Serena Williams was photographed in 2016 rubbing elbows with Taylor Swift and other celebrities like Martha Hunt, Zoë Kravitz, and Dakota Johnson at an Eliot Sumner concert at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom. Back then, Swift was well known for her legendary female squad.

Furthermore, in 2015, Williams made an unforgettable cameo on stage during Swift’s 1989 tour in London. Olympia’s fandom definitely began with these connections, which introduced her to Taylor Swift’s captivating universe long before Olympia realized it. At HubSport’s annual gathering in Boston last month, Williams revealed her oldest daughter Olympia’s intense love for “Cruel Summer” singer.

“My daughter just turned 7. She’s not into princesses, she’s into Taylor Swift. I am, too,” she said. On the other hand, Williams and Ohanian’s younger daughter, Adira River Ohanian, is still too young to embark on her own Swiftie era, having been born just over a year ago in August 2023. But it’s safe to say that her mother and older sister will definitely help her along the road.

With her newfound love for music, Olympia is sure to be consuming a lot of music content online. In the wake of which, Williams emphasized the importance of staying engaged with her daughter, noting that she remains vigilant about the content Olympia consumes. She expressed her concerns, saying, “It’s a scary world. It’s a digital world for kids right now. I’m always on with my daughter, but we don’t allow her on certain platforms.”
