What could be the best way to spend an evening in Miami? An outing with your loved ones and Taylor Swift rocking the stage up would indeed sound like a dream. For the Serena Williams’ family, Saturday turned out to be a blast. It has been a while since Alexis Ohanian has been sharing glimpses of his admiration for Taylor Swift and her music.

As Taylor Swift became the highlight of the city, this adorable family had a really amazing story to narrate.
On October 19, tech entrepreneur and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian delighted his followers by sharing a series of touching photos on Instagram. Alexis and his daughter Olympia attended the concert together, and it seems the experience turned them both into full-fledged Swifties. Lesser known fact: Olympia’s first Eras Tour.

Swifties everywhere had a big reason to celebrate as Taylor Swift returned to the U.S. for the second and final leg of her record-shattering Eras Tour. The tour’s highly anticipated return kicked off at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, where fans enjoyed yet another unforgettable performance. The show concluded with Swift’s high-energy anthem, “Karma,” as she gracefully exited the stage while confetti filled the air, which is a signature end to her concerts.
Adding to the night’s excitement, Swift debuted a fresh look — a vibrant pink, purple, and blue dress for her acoustic set. She delivered an emotional mash-up of “Tim McGraw” from her debut album with “Timeless,” a track from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” Along with that, she also played “This Is Me Trying” from Folklore and “Daylight” from Lover on the piano, aiming to close out the evening with powerful emotion and connection to her audience. However, the highlights of this amazing evening didn’t just end there.
Fans gush over the adorable evening update from Serena Williams’ husband and daughter
“Such an awesome girl, dad,” a fan wrote, making it clear that he has been a true fan of the fun-loving duo. A few weeks ago, Alexis created personalized math problems for Olympia using AI. The problems were based on her interests and included references to Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Simone Biles, and Angel City FC. “I started using AI to help write extra math problems for Jr that are all designed around her interests. So far so good,” wrote Alexis on X.

A female fan, poking fun at Serena Williams in a sweet way, wrote, “@serenawilliams will you permit us to clone your gem of a hubby?” Alexis Ohanian proudly accepted being the “umbrella holder” for her wife Serena at the Paris Olympics.
It’s not surprising that Olympia is a Swiftie. In 2016, Serena Williams was seen hanging out with Taylor Swift and other friends at a concert in New York City. A year earlier, she joined Taylor on stage during a concert in London. Speaking at the INBOUND event with podcast host and editor Kara Swisher, Williams revealed that Olympia is officially a Swiftie now. “My daughter just turned 7. She’s not into princesses, she’s into Taylor Swift….I am, too.”
The recent update was nothing less than a memory for the father-daughter duo. A fan, excited to witness the amazing evening from Alexis’ POV, wrote, “Core memory for you both.”Olympia’s journey as a Taylor Swift fan began in 2023, when her father, Alexis, tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) that she had discovered Taylor’s music. “Well, Jr. has discovered @taylorswift13 — GG,” he tweeted back in 2023.

With these and several other comments on a similar note, the fans made it clear that they don’t just vibe with “Bad Blood” but also follow Alexis’s lead. This evening didn’t just gave out details of the Serena Williams’ family’s perfect evening but also became a memory within itself.
