Taylor Swift named Sean “Diddy” Combs as one of her dream prom dates in a resurfaced interview from 2011, when she was just 21 years old.
A fan posted the old clip to TikTok this week, in the wake of Diddy’s demise amid accusations that he was guilty of crimes including rape and sexual assault.
Diddy was indicted in September on charges including sex trafficking, months after video footage emerged it emerged that he had violently attacked his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
In the clip Beginning in 2011, Swift was featured on Rachael Ray, where several photos of “music icons” were spread out in front of her and she had to choose between them to answer questions such as, “Who on this table would you most like to borrow their wardrobe from?” ‘
When asked which stars she would take to the prom, Swift picked a “group” of people, including Diddy, who she said had “always been really nice to me.”

During the celebrity quiz, nicknamed “Swift Decision,” Ray asked, “Who would you take to the prom?” and Swift responded, “It would be a group, and it would be a really fun group.”
She then collected the photos of Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Sheryl Crow, Justin Timberlake and Diddy and proudly held them up.
While Swift was sorting through the photos — but before she selected Diddy — Ray joked that the Teenage Dream singer “went on a crazy prom date.”
When Swift held up all the photos, Ray exclaimed, “No way! Look at that! That’s a group! Why, why that spectacular group of people?’
Swift responded by praising each of her choices individually, and when she got to Diddy, she said, “Diddy has actually always been really nice to me.”
‘He’s a gentleman, isn’t he? He’s a nice gentleman,” Ray said, with Swift adding, “I’d really love to be in the group at the prom.”
A clip of the exchange appeared on TikTok this week and provoked a flood of comments as viewers noted that the footage “didn’t age well” or “aged like milk.”
“Oopsie,” one TikTok user wrote, 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/now speak Taylor. she likes 19-21 here.”

“This is proof that she only knew Diddy in passing,” another commenter wrote. ‘If she thought he was a gentleman she was doing a ‘hello, bye s***”.
One theorized: “‘Diddy has always been really nice to me’, trying to save herself,” while another commented: “When we were all so naive,” with a tearful emoji.
“Momma Swift would never have let Taylor hang out at Diddy’s! I can’t even imagine it. Gotta love that she got good parental guidance growing up in the industry. #lovemommaswift,” one Swift fan argued.
Diddy was arrested last month on federal charges of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
He is awaiting trial at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, a prison that previously held Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and R Kelly.
Appears on the popular DailyMail.com podcast The trial against Diddysays prison expert Larry Levine that Diddy is visited every day by a psychological team.
“He’s not actually on suicide watch, but my inside source there tells me that someone comes by several times a day to visit him, you know, just to make sure he’s okay,” Levine noted in the podcast.
‘My sources tell me that [Diddy] gets extra showers a week,” he claimed. ‘I don’t know how much. It probably varies. They give them extra privileges.’
