Are Formula 1 star Fernando Alonso and American pop star Taylor Swift a couple? Rumors of a liaison between the two persist – and were fueled again by the Spaniard before the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The video clip that Fernando Alonso posted before the Formula 1 race in Baku is only four seconds long. But those four seconds were enough to fuel hot date rumors about his alleged relationship with pop star Taylor Swift.
The short clip shows the two-time world champion training in a gym. Alonso lifts a 22-pound dumbbell and winks at the camera. Nothing unusual so far.
But if you listen carefully, you’ll quickly notice that it’s not just any song playing in the background, but the song “22”, which was not accidentally penned by Swift and can be found on her album “Red”, released in 2012.
A few days earlier, the Spaniard posted a video in which a song by the American pop star can be heard in the background. This clip also made waves. Whether Alonso just wanted to fool the public or whether he is actually in a relationship with Swift can only be speculated as of today.
In Azerbaijan, the 41-year-old more or less skilfully avoided inquiries on the subject. With a wide grin, he simply said: “No, no, I have nothing to say.” Many fans don’t buy him and are convinced that something has been going on between the two superstars for a long time.
Fernando Alonso back on the market a few weeks ago
The love life of the Formula 1 star and the singer has been well documented in recent years, and every relationship has been exploited with relish by the gossip sheets.
Until a few weeks ago, at least Fernando Alonso was still in good hands. The Spaniard dated the Austrian TV journalist Andrea Schlager. After a year, however, the couple announced their separation via social media.
