Taylor Swift Once Named Diddy as a “Dream Prom Date”
In a 2011 interview, Taylor Swift revealed that Diddy was one of her ideal prom dates—a statement that has resurfaced in a TikTok clip, drawing reactions in light of Diddy’s current allegations.
Diddy’s Recent Legal Troubles and Swift’s Old Clip
The music mogul was recently indicted on charges including sex trafficking after a video surfaced allegedly showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. In the 2011 clip, Swift appeared on The Rachael Ray Show, where she was asked to pick a “music icon” as her ideal prom date, closet to borrow from, and more.
Taylor Swift’s Choice for Prom
When asked who she’d bring to prom, Swift envisioned a “fun group” and chose Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Justin Timberlake, and Diddy, commenting that he was “always really nice to me.” During a segment called “Quick Decisions”, Swift held up their photos, and Rachael Ray joked that Swift was assembling an “eccentric prom.” Swift praised each choice, and when she got to Diddy, she said, “Diddy has always been nice to me.” Ray chimed in, “He’s a gentleman, right?” Swift agreed, saying, “He’d be fun at prom.”
Reactions and Changing Perspectives on Social Media
After the clip was reposted, reactions poured in, with viewers noting that it “hits differently now.” Some TikTok users expressed that, back then, they admired these stars without knowing what might be happening behind the scenes. One fan commented, “We were so naïve,” adding a tearful emoji, while another Swift fan replied, “No way Taylor’s mom would let her near Diddy! Glad she had good parental guidance.”
Diddy’s Legal Situation
Recently, Diddy was arrested and is now facing charges of extortion, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. He is currently awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where high-profile figures like Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and R Kelly have previously been detained.
