Since his return to Formula 1 and subsequent association with Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso has significantly increased his presence on social media and become a focal point.
Alonso’s latest TikTok post, featured on the official account of the British racing team, humorously responds to a new song by Taylor Swift, a singer once rumoured to have a romantic link with the two-time world champion.
Social network speculation about a possible romance between Alonso and Swift circulated a year ago. Alonso’s frequent use of Swift’s songs in his Instagram and TikTok videos fueled these rumours further.
Speculation has reignited following the release of Taylor Swift’s new song, ‘Imgonnagetyouback.’ In it, she sings, “I’m an Aston Martin you drove straight into the ditch / Then you ran and hid.” This lyric led many to believe it confirmed a past relationship with Alonso.
Aston Martin’s response came from a TikTok video starring Alonso. In the clip, the driver is seen watching a screen; as Swift’s song plays, he suddenly looks up and makes a playful gesture to the camera, engaging with the lyrics light-heartedly.
The viral response from Alonso and Aston Martin cleverly plays into the ongoing narrative while showcasing Alonso’s charismatic presence on social media.
