The Darkness land at number one after Taylor goes viral…

After their best friend Ed Sheeran shared the stage with them at the end of last year, The Darkness now feel the love of Taylor Swift herself.

The pop megastar and her boyfriend Travis Kelce were recently spotted singing along to the 2003 rock smash “I Believe In A Thing Called Love,” which played over the speakers at the US Open Women's Final in New York over the weekend, where the celebrity couple were in attendance.

Since then, footage of Taylor and Travis' moment has gone viral, The Darkness has hit number one on the iTunes Rock charts, and frontman Justin Hawkins has revealed that TaySway is a huge fan of the single (she even recently wrote him a letter calling it “one of the best songs ever”).

He talks about his experience with Taylor in a TikTok video: “A few weeks ago, my daughter and I were at the stadium in Zurich to see Taylor Swift and the hospitality they showed us was extraordinary. They put us in a beautiful VIP area, I had Chris Rock on one side, Roger Federer on the other side, I was dad of the year. And to make it even more spectacular, Taylor Swift sent me a beautiful letter waiting for me in the VIP area, writing about how much she loves the song I Believe In A Thing Called Love. I was dad of the year, maybe dad of the century, because it was all a big surprise.”

Commenting on the viral footage of the US Open women's final, Justin added: “That was a really heartwarming moment for me and my little girl can't wait to tell her friends at school. So thank you Taylor, thank you Travis, thank you to everybody who loves tennis, that's a really nice start to the day. Well done guys.”
