Roger Federer has fully embraced his ‘Swiftie era,’ having attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Zurich, Switzerland and snapped a selfie with her backstage. Federer took to Instagram to share the post-concert selfie, captioning it succinctly with emojis of a butterfly, red heart, snake, and clock, indicating his newfound admiration for Swift.
During the selfie, both Federer and Swift smiled warmly, with Federer sporting a VIP pass around his neck while Swift wore a sparkling blue bodysuit from her performance.

Federer attended the concert accompanied by his wife Mirka and their four children: twin daughters Myla and Charlene, and twin sons Leo and Lenny.
Images from fan pages also captured Federer wearing friendship bracelets inscribed with Swift’s song titles like “Anti-Hero” and “Champagne Problems,” and posing with Roman Josi.
Interestingly, Federer had expressed his intention to attend Swift’s concert and meet her for several years. In a 2022 interview with People following his retirement, Federer mentioned, “We went to a lot of concerts last year. I didn’t sing, I just played a little shaker thing. But we also saw [Bruce] Springsteen twice, and Elton John. This summer Taylor Swift is coming to Switzerland so of course we’ll go to that, and ACDC too.”
Recently, a documentary titled Twelve Final Days, focusing on Federer’s retirement decision, premiered on Prime Video.
