"That's the spirit" - Iga Swiatek reacts to Taylor Swift featuring on the cover of TIME magazine along with her cat

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek recently reacted to Taylor Swift's hilarious comment about taking Time magazine's cover photo with her cat.

On Wednesday, 12-time Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift was announced as Time's Person of the Year. On X (formerly Twitter), Taylor Swift replied to the announcement post that featured her cat on her shoulders on the magazine cover.

Swift humorously mentioned that her response to Time, after they requested to name her Person of the Year, was a question of whether she could bring her cat along for the photo shoot.

"Time Magazine: We’d like to name you Person of the Year

Me: Can I bring my cat." Swift tweeted.

Iga Swiatek then replied to Taylor Swift's tweet with a love-eyed emoji and said:

"That's the spirit."😍

Time stated that the American music star was selected because she found a way to give people around the world hope in dark times through her music.

Iga Swiatek has often shown the world that she's a Taylor Swift fan. During a press conference at Roland Garros while speaking about her 22nd birthday, the Pole said that when she was a teenager and hadn't figured out a couple of things about life, Swift's songs helped her and also contributed to improving her english.

"When I was younger and kind of confused about life and when I was a teenager, when I listened to her, I didn't feel alone. Also, I learned English by listening to her songs, so she was always kind of close to me." Swiatek said
