The Darkness are having a moment thanks to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce showcasing their love of the band's hit 2003 single "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" while attending the U.S. Open tennis tournament over the weekend.

Swift and Kelce attended the tennis tournament in New York when the loud speakers played the classic Darkness hit during a break in the action. Cameras panned to Swift who was dancing and air guitaring to the track while singing every word. Kelce got in on some of the fun as well, but Swift's passion for the song was visibly evident.

The Darkness' Justin Hawkins Sheds Light on Taylor Swift Love

Providing a little more context, The Darkness' frontman Justin Hawkins shared some recent interactions with the pop star.

The vocalist revealed that he took his daughter to see Swift at a recent show in Zurich and was shown great hospitality by the pop star upon attending her concert. "They put us in a lovely VIP area. I had Chris Rock on one side, Roger Federer on the other side and I was just dad of the year," said Hawkins in a TikTok video shared below.

"To make matters even more spectacular, Taylor Swift actually sent me a lovely letter which was waiting for me in the VIP section talking about how much she loved the song 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love,'" shared Hawkins. "I was just dad of the year, maybe dad of the century cause all of that was a big surprise."

The singer even offered a photo of the note which read:

Justin,

What a thrill to have you at the show! I'm a massive fan of yours and think 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love' is one of the greatest songs of all time. I hope you and your family have fun at the show. Thanks so much for coming!!

Love, Taylor
