Fernando Alonso enjoying moments on TikTok
Fernando Alonso explored a range of activities on TikTok just for fun, taking part in dancing trends, transitions, and sharing Formula 1 videos. However, what he didn’t anticipate was receiving recognition and reward for his efforts in entertaining the audience. In a surprising turn of events, Alonso, who actively encouraged fans to vote for him, emerged victorious.
His achievement was celebrated at the 2023 Spanish TikTok Awards held during the annual gala in November. Despite facing strong competition from individuals like Carlos Alcaraz, Jordi Roca, and Laura Escanes, Alonso garnered the highest number of votes.
Fascinatingly, the viewership experienced a significant surge amid speculations about a potential romance between Alonso and Taylor Swift. Around that period, the 42-year-old driver shared a cryptic video that piqued the curiosity of fans. In the clip, Alonso was seen seated, playing Taylor Swift’s “Karma.”

Additionally, he shared another post stating he is ‘feeling 33,’ indirectly prompting fans to associate it with Swift. It was because the “Blank Space” singer at that time was 33 years old. It also may have been a hint towards his elusive 33rd F1 win.

However, the peak of Alonso’s TikTok antics was witnessed when he became involved in a verbal dispute with Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas. After observing Alonso’s rapid growth on TikTok, Casillas issued a playful threat to the Spanish racing ace. In a video, Casillas humorously expressed anger towards Alonso and jokingly warned him not to outdo him on TikTok.
Nevertheless, despite being a devoted fan of Real Madrid and sharing a close connection with Casillas, Alonso didn’t hesitate to respond. In his own video, Alonso conveyed his message briefly in three words, “Papá está aquí,” which translates to “Daddy is here” in English.
