“They look happy together”: F1 Commentator David Croft shared his admiration for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship

Formula 1 broadcaster David Croft recently weighed in on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance, saying that he is excited about their future. A passionate Swiftie himself, Croft's remarks in the Australian Grand Prix promos immediately went viral. His F1 and pop culture fandom have endeared him to fans from both universes.

As Formula 1 gears up for the Australian Grand Prix, legendary commentator David Croft has found himself in the spotlight for a rather unexpected reason—his take on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance. Known for his deep passion for F1 and his admiration for Swift, Croft was asked whether the power couple would last a year, to which he responded optimistically: "I hope so! They look happy together."

This moment, captured and shared on Formula 1’s official TikTok account, quickly gained traction among fans of both sports and entertainment. Croft, never one to shy away from engaging with pop culture, even playfully responded with: "Why would they not? What do you know that I don’t?"
His comments reflect the widespread fascination surrounding Swift and Kelce’s high-profile relationship, which has become a crossover sensation between the music and sports worlds.
Beyond his expertise in motorsports, Croft has showcased his love for Taylor Swift on multiple occasions. In 2024, he attended Swift’s Eras Tour, proudly wearing her merchandise, proving his dedication as a true Swiftie. His engagement with her music and career has also made its way into his F1 commentary, particularly in 2023, when Swift was briefly rumored to be linked with Fernando Alonso.

During a race broadcast, Croft cleverly dropped Swift-related references, saying it was a “Swift drive” from Alonso. He further entertained the speculation by joking about the Spaniard driving a “Gateway Car”, potentially leading to “Bad Blood”—a nod to Swift’s hit songs.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's relationship has been at the center of much discussion ever since the Kansas City Chiefs' star publicly announced his interest in the pop superstar. What was initially a friendly gesture to gift her a friendship bracelet during one of her performances soon escalated to a full-blown romance. Their romance has united two giant fan bases—NFL fans and Swifties—resulting in record-breaking watch rates for Chiefs games and higher public interest in both their lives.
