US Open organizer Michael Fiur spoke about fumbling a performance from a young\u00a0Taylor Swift<\/span>\u00a0over 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Before Swift returned to the Grand Slam with boyfriend\u00a0Travis Kelce<\/span>\u00a0this past summer, the 14-time Grammy-winner had one of her first big exposures when she sang the national anthem at the US Open in 2003.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Andy Roddick’s ‘Served’ podcast, Fiur reflected on Swift’s success today. He then revealed that he passed on a Swift performance and called it the ‘worst decision I ever made.’<\/p>\n

‘So in 2002, a guy named Merv Heller was president of the USTA,’ said Fiur, who has been part of the US Open’s festivities for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n

‘He said, a friend of mine, Scott Swift, is a lawyer and his 12-year-old daughter sings and plays the guitar, and would you let her come and be one of your people that sings the national anthem before the matches at night, and so, we were like sure.’<\/p>\n
