Tennis superstar Coco Gauff is no stranger to dominating headlines — whether it’s for her blistering forehand or her fierce fashion sense. But today, she’s got the internet buzzing for a whole new reason: her hilariously candid reaction to Tyler, The Creator’s surprise new album Don’t Tap The Glass.
In a now-viral tweet that dropped faster than one of her serves, Coco revealed that she woke up shaking her hips at 7 a.m. after hearing the first track off the album. Yes, you read that right — before the coffee, before the gym, and definitely before breakfast, Coco was vibing hard to Tyler’s latest musical madness.
“Woke up shaking my hips at 7 am,” she posted, followed by the album title in all caps. “DON’T TAP THE GLASS is insane 🔥.”
Cue mass hysteria.
Fans flooded her mentions with gifs, memes, and virtual high-fives. “Coco Gauff is all of us right now,” one fan tweeted. Another added, “If Coco’s hips are moving, you know Tyler did something right!”
Even Tyler fans who had no idea Gauff was a certified music head are now giving her honorary status in the fandom. Some are even campaigning for a Tyler x Coco collab — whether it’s for a music video, TikTok challenge, or, let’s dream big, a cameo in his next visual project.
It’s no secret that Coco Gauff has a love for music. She’s shared her playlists, danced on TikTok, and been spotted vibing pre-match with earbuds in — but this is the first time she’s joined the internet-wide meltdown over a surprise album drop. And let’s be honest, her reaction might be the most relatable thing she’s ever posted.
The tweet not only blew up across X (formerly Twitter), but made its way into music blogs, tennis news, and even fan art. Within hours, #DontTapTheGauff started trending — because of course it did.
While Gauff didn’t reveal her favorite track just yet, fans are dying to know what song got her hips shaking. Was it a wild opener? A sultry groove? Or just the surprise of it all? Either way, Coco once again proves she’s not just a tennis icon — she’s the moment.
So if you hear sneakers squeaking on the court today, it might not be practice — it could be Coco dancing to Tyler at 7 a.m. again.
