In a 2011 interview, Taylor Swift stated that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was one of her fantasy prom dates.
Following Diddy’s downfall due to charges of rape and sexual assault, a fan shared an old footage on TikTok this week.
Diddy was charged with sex trafficking in September, following the release of video evidence of him severely abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
In a 2011 clip, Swift appeared on Rachael Ray and was asked to choose from a group of’music icons’ to answer questions such as ‘Who on this table would you most like to borrow their wardrobe?’
When asked who celebrities she would invite to prom, Swift named a ‘group’ of people, including Diddy, who she said had ‘always been extremely sweet to me.’

During the celebrity quiz, which was nicknamed ‘Swift Decision,’ Ray asked: ‘Who would you have taken to the prom?’ and Swift responded: ‘It would be a group, and it would be a really fun group.’
She then gathered together the photos of Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Justin Timberlake, and Diddy and proudly held them up.
While Swift was in the process of picking the photos – but before she selected Diddy – Ray joked that the Teenage Dream singer was ‘going on a freaky prom date.’
Once Swift was holding up all the photos, Ray exclaimed: ‘No way! Check that out! That’s a group! Now, why, why that spectacular array of people?’
Swift answered by offering individual praise to each of her picks, and when she got to Diddy, she said: ‘Diddy’s really always been very nice to me.’
‘He’s a gentleman, isn’t he? He’s a lovely gentleman,’ said Ray, to which Swift added: ‘I really – he would be fun to be in the prom group.’
A clip of the exchange surfaced on TikTok this week and provoked a torrent of reactions, as viewers observed that the footage ‘didn’t age well’ or ‘aged like milk.’
‘Oopsie,’ wrote one TikTok user, while another noted: ‘as a millennial, we looked up to these people. we didn’t know what was really going on. this is like fearless/speak now taylor. she like 19-21 here.’

Swift was photographed Friday at a stop on her Eras Tour at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
‘This is proof that she only knew Diddy in passing,’ added another commenter. ‘If she believed he was a gentleman, she was on some “hi, bye s***”.
One speculated since “diddys always been really nice to me” she was trying to rescue herself, while another added, ‘Back when we were all so naive,’ with a weeping emoji.
‘Momma Swift would never have let Taylor to hang out at Diddy’s! I can’t even imagine. I love that she had strong parental supervision growing up in the industry. ‘#lovemommaswift,’ one Swift admirer claimed.
Diddy was arrested last month on federal counts of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.
He is currently awaiting trial at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), which formerly housed Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and R Kelly.
Larry Levine, a prison expert, revealed on DailyMail.com’s successful podcast The Trial Of Diddy that Diddy receives daily visits from a psych team.
‘My sources tell me that [Diddy] is receiving extra showers every week,’ he claimed. I’m not sure how many. It probably varies. They are providing them greater privileges.
