When two global icons intersect, magic happens. But what if it’s not just their worlds, but their families, too? Tennis legend Serena Williams has always showcased her admiration for pop sensation Taylor Swift. Now, Serena’s daughter, Olympia, is following suit. How deep do the ties between these two powerful women run? And what’s the whimsical twist that Serena’s husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently unveiled about their daughter’s budding fandom?

From the joyous births of two children to tennis stardom, Serena Williams’ life has always intersected with the spotlight. But who would have thought her 2018 US Open match would find echoes in a Taylor Swift music video? How do these powerful women, both in their own right “Queens,” intertwine in realms beyond their professions? 

Olympia Ohanian’s newfound Swift fandom: Serena Williams’ legacy meets Taylor Swift’s charm

Serena Williams, a multi-Grand Slam winner, has passed down her strong admiration for Taylor Swift to her daughter Olympia Ohanian. The young girl often replicates her mother’s iconic looks, including matching outfits and fashion-forward hairstyles. Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and Serena’s husband, has recently pointed out a new interest developing in their daughter, highlighting the growing fandom overlap between the Williams family.

The global pop phenomenon, Taylor Swift continues to captivate audiences worldwide. She recently managed to charm another noteworthy admirer in Olympia, who became a fan of a new sport and team thanks to the pop icon. After watching Swift cheer for her boyfriend Travis Kelcey of the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, Olympia instantly became a fan of “The Red Team”.

The news was amusingly shared by Alexis on his Twitter account, where he revealed, “My daughter has just declared she’s a fan of ‘the red team’ because she sees @taylorswift13 cheering for them.”

Drawing connections between Swift and Williams isn’t new. Their mutual admiration has been public for years. With this recent revelation, the union of fandoms was almost prophetic.

Even more exciting is the finding Olympia may make. Earlier, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian were blessed with two kids. Fans are excited about more crossovers between tennis and pop music in the future. Rumors suggest that one of Swift’s songs has a beautiful allusion to Serena Williams.

Serena’s legacy intersects with Taylor Swift’s advocacy

Former tennis star Serena Williams’ 2018 US Open championship match sparked controversy due to heated arguments with the chair umpire. Officials accused her of receiving illegal hand signals from her then coach,  Patrick Mouratoglou. Swift’s music video featured a similar scene, addressing gender inequality and sexism. The possibility of Swift deliberately referencing the spat became hailed as an example of “Queens supporting Queens” or women fighting double standards.

The worlds of Serena Williams and Taylor Swift intersect in unexpected ways, from Olympia’s Swiftie fandom to subtle nods in music videos. As two powerhouses in their fields, their mutual respect showcases the strength of unity. As we celebrate these moments, one wonders: who else might bridge unexpected worlds next?
