Taylor Swift set La Défense Arena in Paris on fire: 3h15 of breathtaking show and thrills

It was the My Heritage site, specializing in genealogy, which revealed what links united Taylor Swift to France, and more precisely to French royalty. The site team conducted some research on the family of the American artist and discovered that she had “a distant relationship” with King Louis XIV. Just that ! Of course, we have to go back a long way – to aristocratic England in the 14th century – to find traces of common ancestors between Taylor Swift and the Sun King. The common ancestors are Michael de la Pole, 2nd Earl of Suffolk, and his wife Katherine Stafford, according to My Heritage.

”For American Idol Taylor Swift, it was in the 17th century that her English ancestors left for the American colonies and settled in Massachusetts, before moving to Pennsylvania a few generations later. On Louis XIV's side, it was an English lady, Margaret de la Pole, who married a count of Béarn (in the southwest of France) in the 15th century. Her great-granddaughter, Anne Jagiellon, will be Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and her granddaughter is none other than Marie de Medici, the paternal grandmother of Louis XIV,” describes the specialized site.
