In a story that could cause quite a stir, tennis sensation Taylor Fritz made a headline-worthy appearance at DJ Kygo’s highly-anticipated concert at the iconic Hollywood Bowl on Thursday.
Sporting a laid-back and effortlessly cool look, Fritz took to the stage to join Kygo and Corey Gamble, the partner of socialite Kris Jenner, in a performance of the hit song “Stargazing.” However, keen-eyed fans were quick to observe that Fritz’s usually dark locks were noticeably absent, hidden beneath his backwards cap.
“IS TAYLOR FRITZ BLONDE????” pondered one fan in the comments of a video shared by Tennis Channel’s Steve Weissman on social media. The speculation quickly stirred up a buzz among tennis enthusiasts, with even the team behind the celebrated podcast “Served with Andy Roddick” expressing their astonishment: “Steve, what a gift you have given us.”
If it turns out that Fritz did indeed make the bold move to go blonde between his recent defeat to Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals of the Rolex Shanghai Masters and his appearance at Kygo’s concert, he would be following the footsteps of other top tennis stars like Fabio Fognini, Casper Ruud, and Dominic Thiem who have also experimented with the platinum look in the past.
Nevertheless, the sight of Fritz at the event was not entirely unexpected. Known to be a devoted fan of the Norwegian DJ and record producer, whose real name is Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, Fritz has a history of supporting Kygo. The two were previously photographed together on the tennis court back in 2017, and Fritz even starred in a promotional campaign for Kygo’s headphones in the U.S. just two years later.
As the mystery surrounding Fritz’s potential new hairstyle continues to capture the tennis world’s attention, one thing is certain – his appearance at Kygo’s concert has certainly sparked a wave of curiosity and excitement among fans and followers alike.
