🎯 The Story Behind the Title: Why Fallon Sherrock Is Called “Queen of the Palace”
From the moment she strode onto the oche at Alexandra Palace and stunned the world, Fallon Sherrock became more than just a darts player—she became a symbol. That fateful 2019 World Darts Championship saw her defeat Ted Evetts in round one, then beat Mensur Suljović in round two, breaking the barrier as the first woman to win a match in the PDC World Championship. That historic run, played out on the stage called “the Palace” (Alexandra Palace), earned her the moniker “Queen of the Palace.”
That title carries weight. It’s not just about that moment, but how it transformed her identity in the sport. Despite setbacks, health challenges, and fierce competition, Sherrock owns that crown confidently. In the lead-up to her announced break from the sport in 2026 to focus on her health, she reaffirmed that standard—still vying to make a major mark in 2025.
It’s a badge of legacy: she proved that women belong on that stage, and she did so with composure, grit—and a bit of fire.
🎵 The Walk-On Anthem: What Song Pumps Up the Queen
Walk-on songs in darts are more than just music—they set the tone, electrify the crowd, and become part of a player’s identity. For Fallon Sherrock, the tune she walks in to is “Last Friday Night” by Katy Perry.
The poppy, celebratory vibe of “Last Friday Night” fits her persona. It’s energetic without being aggressive, and it’s cheerful—almost playful. That contrast speaks volumes: Sherrock doesn’t have to blast the arena with an in-your-face anthem to command attention. Her choice signals confidence.
Fans often say that when you hear those opening chords, you know: Queen of the Palace is coming. It has become synonymous with her arrival—her brand. And like the title she holds, the walk-on song is now inseparable from her legend.
Together, these two details—the regal nickname and her musical entrance—paint a fuller picture of Fallon Sherrock. She’s not just a competitor; she’s a narrative in motion, a story of breaking ceilings and walking in to pop anthems that echo her bold spirit.
