When Nelly Korda isn’t dominating on the golf course, she’s surprising fans with her totally unexpected music tastes. The LPGA star, known for her cool, composed demeanor on the fairways, has recently let fans in on her secret playlist — and let’s just say, it’s full of surprises.
From upbeat pop tracks to guilty-pleasure throwbacks, Korda’s music picks are anything but typical. Fans were recently treated to a glimpse of her go-to jams during an Instagram Q&A, where she revealed the songs that get her pumped before a big game. While many expected the usual motivational anthems or calming tunes to ease pre-game nerves, Korda’s playlist has a much more playful vibe.
One of her top picks? 90s pop classics like Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys – two groups that scream nostalgia and pure fun. “You can’t go wrong with a little ‘Wannabe’ to get you in the zone!” Korda laughed. Fans were quick to share their amusement, with one follower commenting, “Nelly playing Spice Girls before a tournament is all I didn’t know I needed in my life.”
And it doesn’t stop there. The golfer also admitted to blasting some quirky throwbacks, like the “Macarena” and even “Barbie Girl”, leading to an outpouring of laughter and surprise across social media. One fan wrote, “Imagine getting in the zone with Macarena… I need to see this!”
What really gets people talking, though, is how Korda’s music choices reflect her personality. Known for her lighthearted nature and sense of humor, it’s no surprise that her playlist mirrors her fun side. Fans who might have pegged Korda as a more serious competitor were thrilled to see this playful side come to light.
“Nelly is such a pro on the course, but seeing this side of her just makes her even more relatable,” said another fan. “We all have our goofy jams, and it’s awesome to see a top athlete like her embrace them.”
In a sport that often values precision and concentration, Korda’s musical picks are a refreshing reminder that even the best can let loose and have fun. Whether it’s to pump herself up or simply unwind, it’s clear that Nelly Korda’s music taste is as entertaining as her game. Fans can’t wait to hear what she’ll be jamming to next — though, no one’s betting on anything too serious!
