I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Fernando Alonso And Taylor Swift not dating. Sure, there are a lot of rumors and speculations surrounding the unhappy couple, but none of it is true. Not even rumors are false – rumors are fakenothing more than a fun bit of imagination from the folks on Tumblr.
As a former Tumblr girl myself, it is my grave duty to ruin F1mblrhave a little fun. The site’s real-life approach is always a bit interesting—just ask Misha Collins—and the movie Taylonso is another example of fans transporting real people. What was interesting at first was what would happen if it got out of hand, and now the whole world is reporting on this as if Swift really is Alonso’s. girlfriend smokes weed.
In case you lost it:
You might not expect a heavy Formula 1 fandom on Tumblr, but you’d be surprised. F1mblr is a very active corner of the site, there are many blogs with titles like “cyril’s butt tattoo” And “My life is as messy as a Ferrari race strategy.” They take a typical Tumblr approach to the world of top racing: jokes, fanartand of course-Shipping in progress.
That second type is the one we’re dealing with here. Transport is the art of placing two characters or people in a relationship, exploring the dynamics of their hypothetical interaction as a couple, and supporting the pairing, and Tumblr does that with whatever. This is a website that was once held hostage by ‘s fanart a character Dr. Seuss in various relationships with alternate versions of he himself—when you get used to it, transporting real people suddenly becomes boring.
So when two Tumblr celebs break up with their significant other at the same time, shippers pop in. As for Swift and Alonso, they are mainly did so as a joke—pair these two celebrities, who, as far as anyone knows, may have met briefly at some point in their lives. Then the joke is sent as a real rumor to the rumor shop Deuxmoiand articles started pouring in.
Sun, Mirror, Page Sixall the celebrity gossip agencies jumped on the “rumor” from Deuxmoi. Roads and Tracks wrote it up many timesand even CD driver participated in it. It’s a fun couple to imagine, a neat relationship to explore the dynamics of. In other words: A good ship.
Of course, F1mblr’s reaction was hoarse laughter that all these age-old publications take their little joke seriously. But the joke got even more fun when Fernando Alonso himself started getting involved — posting TikTok with Swift’s music and shouting out her discography in the comments.
The ship, while fun, is fake. Alonso’s TikTok troll doesn’t change that. But who knows? Given the amount of media attention the couple has received, perhaps the two will really get along. Celebrity romance never more a DM slips away, and sometimes cute encounters happen in unexpected ways. If Swift and Alonso get together now, they might even go public with their relationship on DashCon’s ninth anniversary.
