Roger Federer wanted to see Taylor Swift live with his children
Back in June, the dad of four told PEOPLE that seeing Swift in concert with his children was a goal for him this summer.
"We went to a lot of concerts last year," he said, noting that it was so fun to get on stage with Coldplay at their Zurich show last summer.
"I didn't sing, I just played a little shaker thing," he said with a laugh. "But we also saw (Bruce) Springsteen twice, and Elton John. This summer Taylor Swift is coming to Switzerland so of course we'll go to that, and ACDC too."
