While attending the US Open men’s tennis final on Sunday (September 8), Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were shown enthusiastically singing along to the Darkness’ 2003 hit, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” The video of the couple rocking out to the song – which was even shared on X by the official US Open account – has since gone viral, and it has subsequently propelled the song to No. 1 on the US iTunes Rock Chart. Swift is indeed a fan, according to a TikTok shared by the Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins.

“A few weeks ago my daughter and I went to see Taylor Swift at the stadium in Zurich and the hospitality they showed us was extraordinary,” said Hawkins. “They put us in a lovely VIP area. Taylor Swift sent me a lovely letter talking about how much she loves the song, ‘I Believe in a Thing Called Love.’ I was dad of the year.” The US Open clip made Hawkins day. “It was a really heartwarming moment for me, and my little girl can’t wait to tell her friends at school. So thanks Taylor, thanks Travis, thanks everybody who enjoys tennis, that’s a really lovely start to the day. Nice one guys.” (Consequence of Sound)
