Keeping her aggressive front alive, Danielle Collins gets into the Italian Open semi-finals with a bang. She defeated Victoria Azarenka and maneuvered through the passionate Rome crowd, rejoicing in her signature ‘Danimal’ fashion. The 30-year-old celebrated her victory by beating the tennis world with such fervor that she officially began her ‘Female Rage’ era, bringing a Taylor Swift connection.

After achieving the quarter-final victory, the 15th-ranked tennis player recently took to her Instagram account to share her celebration moments. She shared a post by the WTA in which she was seen celebrating on the court. Along with that, she wrote, “Female Rage (Danimal Edition)” while calling herself a “Swiftie.”

In the next story, she shared another video from the same, while she silenced the crowd in her Danimal way and wrote, “My Rock and Roll tennis era.” Collins seems to be embracing her strong era, particularly evident after the dramatic events in Rome last night.

Despite facing a raucous Rome audience, she celebrated her victory in a way that appeared to be a form of defiance. On the musical front, Taylor Swift made history when she trademarked the term “Female Rage: The Musical” following the start of the European leg of her “Eras” tour. But Swift and the phrase “female rage” have both come under fire; they are frequently connected to superficial liberal feminist ideas.

Since 2014, Swift has identified as a feminist, highlighting gender equality. However, it was her choice to rerecord and reissue her albums—which the media hailed as “stepping into a feminist identity”—after Scooter Braun purchased them in 2019. Just the way how the 30-year-old got back into her Danimal times, as she enjoyed her last year on tour, before retiring from the sport.

The 30-year-old tennis player has joined third-ranked player, Coco Gauff to make it two Americans in the Rome semifinals for the first time since Serena Williams and Madison Keys faced off in 2016. Furthermore, a month prior, the American talked about going through a comparable frenzy to the American singer’s concert after winning the Miami Open title.

When Danielle Collins experienced surreal fan love, like Taylor Swift

The WTA pro not only earned a huge win before her retirement but also felt the joy of being a winner after her incredible victory over Elena Rybakina in the Miami Open finals. In an interview back then, the 30-year-old expressed her thoughts about the effects of taking center stage.

She compared the exhilarating environment of attending a performance with well-known musicians such as Taylor Swift to the experience of being in the middle of a boisterous crowd yelling her name. She stated, “I just felt so much love and support today, and I mean the crowd… it’s so interesting with the musicians like if people go to a concert they are for them… it would be cool to be a rockstar because they have all these people like I see these videos like the Taylor Swift concert and it’s just incredible like the fandom.”

With its enormous stages, colorful costume changes, and thousands of spectators, Swift’s Eras Tour captured the attention of viewers all across the world in 2023. It was an experience akin to the intensity and spectacle of tennis matches. Collins compares Swift’s concerts to her own court experiences and discovers how well she is aware of the American singer’s surroundings as a fan herself.
