"Hearing my name live was insane": Coco Gauff attends Tyler, the Creator's music festival

Coco Gauff recently attended Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw music festival at Dodger Stadium. The reigning WTA Finals champion took advantage of her off-season to visit the rapper's event for the second consecutive year, someone she has admired since her teenage years.

The world No. 3 shared a carousel of photos from her experience at the Los Angeles festival. The 2023 US Open champion received a mention in one of Tyler's songs, Thought I Was Dead, from the 2-time Grammy winner.

"That was really cool. I was not expecting it," Gauff shared during Media Day at the WTA Finals in Riyadh. "It was crazy because he DM’d me congratulations after the China Open [which Gauff won in early October]. We had never talked or anything before. He liked my photo or something when I won the US Open.

"Then my boyfriend said, 'Watch, he's going to mention you in a song.' I was like, 'Yeah, that would be insane. That's never going to happen.’" She added, "Three weeks later, it happened. I was like, 'Can he see into the future or what?'"

During the event, Gauff recorded a TikTok video for her fans when Tyler mentioned her name live during the song. “Hearing my name live was insane,” she captioned.
