Los Angeles Dodgers standout Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea found themselves in close proximity to pop sensation Taylor Swift at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday night, providing some amusing photobombing evidence of the star-studded encounter.
Sharing their excitement on Instagram, Chelsea, a mother of three, posted photos from the event, expressing amusement at her husband making it into a picture with Taylor Swift but from a distance, while she found herself strategically blocked. In another snapshot, she joyfully pointed out the back of her head nearly appearing in a photo featuring Swift alongside Selena Gomez. Admitted shyness prevented her from asking for a picture with the iconic duo.

The Freemans, evidently relishing their time in Los Angeles, reflected on their experience at the Golden Globes, marking a significant period nearly two years after Freddie Freeman, an All-Star first baseman and Orange County native, joined the Dodgers following a remarkable 12-season stint with the Atlanta Braves. The transition to the Dodgers in March 2022 was accompanied by a heartfelt Instagram post from Freeman, expressing gratitude to the organization for welcoming his family.
On the field, Freeman showcased his prowess with a notable .331 batting average, ranking third in the National League, and contributing 29 home runs in the previous season. Notably, Freeman wasn’t the lone Dodger gracing the Golden Globes; teammate Mookie Betts, who owns the One Media/Marketing Group (OMG) production company, was also in attendance, mingling with the Hollywood crowd.
The Golden Globes experience added a glamorous touch to the Dodgers’ off-season, offering players like Freeman and Betts a chance to intertwine with the entertainment industry’s elite, even if it meant unintentionally sharing the spotlight with Taylor Swift.
