Baron Corbin didn’t leave WWE NXT Deadline as the new NXT Champion, but the Lone Wolf is looking to ‘Shake it Off’ with Taylor Swift.
The pop sensation continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the music scene and has been spotted in recent months supporting her boyfriend Kansas City Chief Travis Kelce. During the Chiefs’ most recent game, Corbin was part of a selfie that included Swift.

Taylor Swift & Pro-Wrestling
While Taylor Swift has yet to step foot in the ring, the music icon has had her name tied to wrestling over the years. In 2014, Swift was one of several celebrities to wish those who serve the best via a video message during that year’s Tribute to the Troops. More recently, Grayson Waller has found himself feuding with Swift’s fans after rating the Grammy Award-winner a “six.” Waller has even dared Travis Kelce to defend Swift’s honor at WrestleMania 40.
During the post-Fastlane press conference, WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY was asked about Swift in a question that divided fans. While many saw it as a harmless bit of fun, some took issue with this question and SKY was visibly confused as to why she was being asked about a non-wrestler.
It’s not just WWE that has its eye on Taylor Swift. Recently, Tony Khan revealed that Wembley asked him to have a quick set-up for All In 2024 in order to allow more dates for Taylor Swift’s tour. When AEW’s Claudio Castagnoli was asked about Swift possibly appearing at the August 2024 event, the Swiss wrestler said “I wouldn’t put it past her!”
AEW already has an ‘in’ with Taylor Swift in the form of their Director of Business Development Jeff Jarrett. In interviews, Jeff has revealed that Swift used to babysit his kids and has often said that Swift was a kind, genuine person to the Jarrett family.
