In between her mostly weekend tour schedule, Taylor Swift has been spending a lot of time in New York in recent weeks. She’s been hanging out with her famous friends, and paparazzi have gotten lots of exclusive shots of her, out and about in her neighborhood. Her vibe, at least publicly, seems to be “reconnecting with friends after a big breakup.” The mood is decidedly NOT “Taylor dumped Joe because she has a new guy waiting in the wings.” Historically, Taylor doesn’t have a habit of overlapping relationships, but that being said, she usually moves on pretty fast. So… is there a new guy? Deuxmoi’s tipsters claim that Taylor is casually seeing F1 driver Fernando Alonso, a 41 year old Spaniard. Like… that’s not her type at all? But it looks like he’s having fun with it.
Fernando Alonso hilariously responded to rumors that he’s secretly dating Taylor Swift. The Spanish driver, 41, posted a five-second TikTok video Monday, set to the tune of her hit song “Karma.” In the clip, Alonso scrolled on his phone before looking at the camera and winking.
“Race week era 😉,” he captioned the post, seemingly alluding to the Grammy winner’s ongoing “Eras Tour.”
The two-time world champion also referenced Swift’s song “22” when he commented, “Feeling 33 😏.”
Like many internet rumors, speculation about the odd coupling began on the popular blind item Instagram account, DeuxMoi, last week.
“A couple of Spanish magazines have been posting about TS and Spanish F1 driver Fernando Alonso,” an anonymous email, shared on Instagram Stories, read. “According to them, the couple has been seeing each other for a week now. Nothing serious tho since they are both recently single.”
It’s cute that he’s playing along or having fun with it. He’s clearly up to date on the rumors. I doubt he’s ever met Taylor, although I’ve been wrong about this stuff before. I just don’t see how they would have similar circles whatsoever. Taylor, to my knowledge, doesn’t pay attention to F1. No one in her circle follows F1.
He’s actually really cute? He reminds me of Javier Bardem a little bit.

He’s a total babe. Cute little wink in the video clip. The video clip gives Hugh Grant vibes from the Four Weddings and a Funeral era.
Yes, I came on here to say, “Whose type isn’t a saucy spaniard???” Into it! Get it. LOL. (I may be biased, though, because my awesome, warm dad is mixed Peruvian, mostly Spanish heritage, hahaha.)
Lando is a better choice!
He’s cute, but I’d rather see her or Selena Gomez dating Lewis Hamilton, who is fire.
Selena and Lewis would melt … well everything, yeah there would be nothing left. Just picturing the pap photos and how unglued it would all get makes me smile. Good Luck this weekend Lewis!!!
Man. She should date Charles LeClerc or Carlos Sainz or Lewis Hamilton.
no to sainz! He’s into some right wing bs
Really? Spill the tea…
He’s very attractive but doesn’t seem like her type. We will see! Also hilarious for sources to be talking about 1 WEEK of dating, like jeez, so much pressure.
As a fairly hardcore F1 fan and casual Swiftie, this is absolutely delightful! He was asked about it in the pre-race conference today LOL
I love Alonso so much – cutie and a great driver! Glad he’s finally got a decent car again.
I’m not sure if she has never overlapped or is it that she just runs straight into a new relationship(J.LO 2.0)I’m sorry I don’t not have patience for girlfriends that treat you like you don’t exist when they are all loved up and now want to befriend you again. Her whole friend group is a forced mixed bag of PR connections.
Is too the point that I have to wonder does she pay her friend group. She drops them so easily.
There was a pandemic and she was out of the public eye for years. She has tons of close real friends that she sees privately. She is still really close with Abigail, Selina, and Blake. She doesn’t have to perform friendships for you.
Her friendships may not be performative per se, but she definitely parades them in front of cameras when it suits her purposes. As you say, she spent years being out of the public eye, which only proves that she can avoid the cameras when she wants to. When she pops up for paparazzi – surrounded by glamorous friends – it is because she wanted everyone to see them.
If your relationship means you have been living in another country, yes, you won’t have been seeing as much of your girlfriends. Plus the whole pandemic thing.
He is a good looking Fella in that black/pink racing jacket, intense look on his face.
I’d date him if he asked me, Yes.
F1 drivers have nerves of steel to do their jobs.
He seems to have a good sense of humor about it, 1 week of dating. 😀
Does that even count as dating?
I’ve spent more time with my car repair guy IRL, 2-3 phone calls a day.
“Hey Kay, OK, so we got the brakes off and turns out X is busted too. Call me.”
My husband and I were just talking about this..he thinks it isn’t true but it is typical Alonso to play along.
I will say, GiGI Hadid has been good friends with Lewis Hamilton for years and he is close with the Kardashians/Jenners and regularly hangs in those circles so she probably knows him but both Lewis and Alonso are notorious for not hanging out with other drivers…
Maybe she will show up at the race this weekend?
Doubtful. She’s playing Atlanta Friday-Sunday and he’s racing in Azerbaijan.
I think having fun with the rumours is the best way to handle this!
He doesn’t seem her type at all, except for the great hair.
If I were Taylor I’d put an end to it. His fan base is very racist (especially to Lewis) and he never calls them out…instead he’s taken multiple jabs at him.
Sounds like they are perfect for each other. Her fan base is rabid, not to mention shockingly cruel when they want to be. And for years she has subtly encouraged them to go after whoever her current nemesis is.
he is my type — I would urge Tay to branch out on this one.
It is kind of annoying to me how much talk there always is about Taylor and who she is involved with.
I know she writes songs about past relationships but I don’t care.
Of course, it is par for the course I suppose. Fills the tabs/SM.
But, this Fella should say “It’s a fun rumor but no, not true.”
He is going along with it for the PR he can get.
No need for that, IMO.
F1 drivers are very well known to their fans, they are also well paid for their skills.
And also, yes several of the F1 drivers have said offensive and racist things about Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton has an excellent winning driving record.
And Hamilton is hotter than all of them put together. Facts.
“Historically, Taylor doesn’t have a habit of overlapping relationships”
I was shocked to find out recently that this is incorrect. Apparently, she cheated on Calvin to get with Tom, and cheated on Tom to get with Joe. And she owns it! Her song “High infidelity” is about her cheating on Calvin, and she has other recent songs about cheating.
I also learned that she met both Tom and Joe at that same MET gala in the spring of 2016. She’s def showing up to this year’s gala now that she’s single. People have been joking that it’s her Tinder!
As an Alonso fan, it has been truly hilarious. It’s a rumour started as a complete joke (his 33 meme has become as big as Taylor’s thing with 13). For all the swifties who are like “she doesn’t even know this man!”, I can guarantee the same is totally true in the other direction lol.
BUT Nando is a committed shit-stirrer so the idea of his PR team giving him a Taylor Swift crash course in the last week for his responses to be as cheeky as possible is perfect.
I also think he’s possibly the one driver (bar Lewis maybe?) who wouldn’t give a flying fuck about the *significant* height difference LOL. This is a wildcard but my best driver pick for Tay might actually be Lance Stroll?
This is definitely the hottest guy she’s ever allegedly dated.
My vote also goes for Selena Gomez and Lewis Hamilton 🙂 . (I just don’t see her with Zayn lol, sometimes I feel he’s still not over Gigi ).
As for Taylor and Alonso, her type seems to be more of British men.
She also hasn’t dated an American for years .. lol..
As an American who likes wordplay, I don’t see her falling for a Spaniard. I lived there for years and the humor is much more silly/slapstick than cerebral/ironic, and this girl has been dating Brits. It’s a fun fling (if anything at all) and nothing more.
