Olivia Dunne, widely recognized as a social media personality and gymnast, has captured the attention of MLB fans after a viral voiceover moment that has seen her earn comparisons to Taylor Swift.
Following the pattern seen in the NFL with the singer’s public support of Travis Kelce, fans are now dubbing Dunne “The Taylor Swift of Baseball” due to her support of the Pittsburgh Pirates‘ Paul Skenes.
The moment that sparked this comparison occurred during Swift‘s debut on her boyfriend Kelce‘s New Heights podcast as on the show, Swift humorously noted that male sports fans wanted to see more of her in sports-related spaces.
Clips of this segment circulated online and were even played during the Minnesota Twins-Detroit Tigers game at Target Field on Saturday as during the broadcast’s Celebrity Look Alike game, the jumbotron displayed Dunne alongside a lookalike in the crowd.
That prompted fans to draw the Swift-Dunne parallel, as they quickly headed to social media to react to the moment.
One fan commented via X.com, formerly Twitter, “The Taylor Swift of baseball.”
Whilst a second said, “This is awesome! Combining sports with Taylor Swift is a win-win. What a cool moment!”
And a third noted, “Taylor Swift in a baseball cap, now that’s a game.”
Dunne and Skenes were even spotted at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans back in February at Caesars Superdome, where the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Kansas City Chiefs and ran out 40-22 winners.
Demonstrating her admiration for the Eras Tour sensation, Dunne wore a red outfit and proudly declared her support for the Chiefs, Kelce and Patrick Mahomes but sadly left the venue disappointed.
“Tomorrow for the game I am rooting for the Chiefs,” Dunne said on February 8. “Unpopular opinion around here.
“But I’m very excited, and it’s my first Super Bowl, so it’s gonna be a great time. I’m a Swiftie.”
Jeremy Clarkson reveals what it’s like to have Taylor Swift as a neighbor
Jeremy Clarkson, known for presenting Top Gear and The Grand Tour, recently shared insights on what it was like when Taylor Swift spent time in the Cotswolds in the United Kingdom.
The presenter, who owns a farm called Diddly Squat in Chadlington and a pub, The Farmer’s Dog in Asthall, explained that Swift‘s presence was unobtrusive despite widespread speculation – contrasting sharply to that of J.D. Vance.
Clarkson noted that local residents might have been concerned by exaggerated reports, such as Ellen DeGeneres allegedly using an entire village’s water supply or Swift renting a property during her tour.
However, Swift’s stay in Oxfordshire last summer was remarkably low-key as Clarkson said in his column for The Times, “Taylor is a long way from the Who’s drummer, Keith Moon, who used to own a hotel in Chipping Norton. Unlike Keith, she was so quiet, no one even knew she was there.”
