WWE’s Love Affair With Taylor Swift Continues, This Time via Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio Romance

Published 09/02/2024, 11:06 PM EDT

Contrary to her peers, Taylor Swift has been a staple in love and heartbreak playlists alike, since love has been a recurring theme, whether exploring the complexities of unrequited affection or celebrating romantic bliss. Her music has served as a comforting refuge for those at a loss for words, while her concerts have become a cherished venue for fans seeking their happily-ever-afters. If even Hollywood power couples cannot resist using her music to express their love, it is no surprise that WWE stars like Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio have also turned to Swift’s songs to spotlight their romance.

While Swift’s music has always been a home for lovers, WWE’s fascination with her has reached new heights with their latest nod.

Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio have crafted one of the most memorable love stories in modern wrestling. In a recent interview with Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture ahead of WWE Bash in Berlin, they were asked if there is a Taylor Swift song they would dedicate to each other if they were at the Eras Tour, reflecting on their dramatic WWE romance. Morgan did rattle her brain cells a little before quickly choosing ‘Love Story.’ 

This standout track is from Swift’s 2008 album ‘Fearless,’ which drew inspiration from the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. When Salcedo shifted the question to Mysterio, who corrected her by stating they are the most talked-about couple in WWE rather than just one of the most talked-about, he mentioned having a special attachment to an “old Taylor Swift song.” "I’d have to go on my phone because it’s not off the top", Mysterio said, leaving the specific track a mystery.

This was not the only Swift-related headline from the wrestling world in a recent while. A few weeks ago, CM Punk also made a statement in a reference to Swift that is still resonating with fans.

A few weeks ago on WWE RAW, during the August 19 episode, CM Punk made a notable comment during his promo. He talked about how fans around the world greeted him at Fanatics Fest NYC, with many even giving him bracelets—a gesture reminiscent of the tradition among Taylor Swift’s fans. “When fans hand me bracelets that they took the time to make, maybe a Taylor Swift thing, but let’s face it, I’m Taylor Swift for men,” Punk remarked.

The statement came as Punk announced he would face Drew McIntyre in a Strap Match at WWE Bash in Berlin. While he openly expressed gratitude for his fans' gestures, his self-dubbing as "Taylor Swift for men" was quite the fodder for tabloids. With this second Swift reference in just a few weeks, the WWE world, much like Travis Kelce, is seemingly also caught up in a new level of Taylor Swift obsession.
