Coco Gauff, shake it off!

The two-time Grand Slam champion, 21, was put to the Taylor Swift test for a video shared on the Tennis Channel's Instagram account, which featured several top tennis stars answering trivia on the pop superstar.

"Oh my god, the Swifties are gonna attack me," jokes Gauff in a clip at the start of the post uploaded Monday, Feb. 16.

The video then cuts to Amanda Kay Victoria, who bluntly says she "doesn't like Taylor Swift" when asked if she could name the 14-Grammy winner's last album title. "Sorry," she adds.

"No clue," Bulgarian tennis player Grigor Dimitrov replies. "Taylor Swift? No. If you have something about Italian music, I can answer," Italian star Flavio Cobolli says.

The clip then cuts to Gauff, who's asked the same question about the "Blank Space" singer, 35, in a similar way.

"What was the last Taylor Swift album called?" the interviewer asks.

The 2023 US Open champ admitted that she's not a huge fan of the "Fate of Ophelia" singer, which impacted her ability to respond to the question about Swift's album title successfully.

"I'm not a Taylor Swift fan so I don't know," an unsure Gauff says with a laugh, covering her mouth in playful embarrassment. "That's actually... I have no idea," she adds.

The interviewer gave the 2025 French Open winner a hint, stating the first half of the title in attempt to help her out.

"Life of a..." he tells Gauff, who was then able to complete the album name with the assist. "Oh, Life of a Showgirl. Okay, but that kind of helped. Yeah."

Gauff has been open about her favorite music in the past, previously highlighting a few songs on her pump-up playlists before matches. A song she's cited often is "Icon," by Jaden Smith.

The tennis player is also a fan of Beyoncé, who she's said is among her favorite artists and inspirations. A dedicated and prominent member of the "BeyHive," she's attended the Renaissance and Cowboy Carter tours — and also met the icon's mom, Tina Knowles.

"It was super cool," Gauff told PEOPLE exclusively about the opportunity in August 2025. "After I won the French Open, someone from Beyonce's team reached out and invited me to go to one of her shows... I lost early at Wimbledon, but it was a blessing in disguise because I was able to go to the Atlanta show."

"I got to meet Ms. Tina and talk to her," she continued. "Beyoncé waved at me while she was on the horse. They confirmed it after the show that she saw me and waved at me. So yeah, it was a crazy, crazy moment, and I had a lot of fun."

Of Knowles, she added: "It's super cool to know a family like that who has done so much in entertainment and impact in the world in general."
