On Saturday, former Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kannan will drive a car with Taylor Swift's face on it in the Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix.

The special paint job is to honor Swift's stop in Detroit for her 1989 world tour that night. Plus, TSwift is really good at winning things, so her likeness painted on a vehicle can only help.

The No. 10 Taylor Swift Chevrolet is part of a promotion with her label, Big Machine Records, which will probably eventually dip its toes into politics to help TayTay officially control the world.

Kanaan is a Brazilian driver who took home the coveted the coveted Indy 500 trophy in 2013, but had no luck during this year's race. If anyone can get him back on track, it's Swift.

"When we go crashing down, we come back every time," is the perfect motto for race car drivers and on again/off again lovers alike.
