When Taylor Swift performed at the United States GP weekend

Looking back at the 2016 United States Grand Prix, pop star Taylor Swift's landmark performance at the Circuit of The Americas played a pivotal role in transforming race weekends into massive entertainment festivals. Drawing a crowd of around 80,000 people, the concert proved to be ahead of its time by attracting a younger, more diverse audience to Formula 1 long before the modern boom driven by Netflix's Drive to Survive. Today, major music acts and concerts are a staple of the F1 calendar, with several current drivers such as Charles Leclerc, Pierre Gasly, George Russell, and Oliver Bearman openly expressing their fandom for the artist.
