Alicia Keys’s youngest son, Genesis, is the biggest Swiftie, and since Taylor Swift has known him most of his life, he’s had some seriously sweet moments with her. They’ve met quite a few times over the years, and most recently, it may have been the most wholesome interaction yet.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Keys talked about how Genesis and Swift’s bond started back in the 2019 iHeartRadio Awards when he adorably waved at her during his mama’s speech.
