‘We lost a warrior’: Fans stunned as famous hardman Ramos dances to Taylor Swift

SERGIO RAMOS has left football fans astonished with an Instagram video of himself dancing to Taylor Swift’s hit tune “Shake It Off”.

The tough-tackling centre-back, who plays for Mexican side Monterrey, is known for his aggressive playing style, which earned him 30 career red cards.

But it appears the 39-year-old has shed some of his warring personality, with fans claiming he has gone “soft”.

In the short video, which amassed more than 180,000 likes in less than 24 hours, Ramos can be seen dancing alongside his wife, Pilar Rubio, and another female friend.

Wearing a cream-coloured shirt, he begins by shaking his hips before lightly tapping both their bums and prancing towards the camera.

One user wrote: “What happened to my favourite defender. Is this the same man who terrified all of Europe.”

Ramos married Rubio, who is a well-known Spanish television presenter, in 2019. The couple started dating in 2012 and have four sons together.

The Spanish central defender spent 16 seasons at La Liga giants Real Madrid where he made 671 appearances and scored a whopping 101 goals.

The four-time Champions League winner then moved to PSG in 2021 before moving back to Sevilla, where he started his career, in 2023.

He signed for Monterrey in the summer of 2025 and made his debut in the Club World Cup group stages.

By scoring in a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan, Ramos, at 39 years and 80 days old, became the oldest player in history to score in the Club World Cup.

He broke the previous record set by a 37-year-old Javier Zanetti in 2010.
