Teddy Swims BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Teddy Swims is riding an extraordinary wave of headline moments this past week that extend far beyond the stage and deep into both his personal and professional life. First, topping all music and entertainment news, the National Rugby League announced that Teddy Swims will headline the 2025 NRL and NRLW Grand Final Entertainment at Accor Stadium in Sydney on October 5. This makes him the first international artist in several years to perform at the iconic Australian event, cementing his status as an artist of global reach, according to the NRL CEO Andrew Abdo, who called Swims one of the most exciting music talents in the world. The Grand Final performance will also kick off his sold-out arena tour across Australia and New Zealand. Major music and sports outlets are highlighting the biographical significance of this booking, noting that it lands amidst a monumental year for Swims, who has enjoyed record-breaking chart runs, notably his single Lose Control holding the record for the longest Hot 100 run in history and passing nine billion global streams across his catalogue.

Swims continues to draw capacity crowds as his I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy Tour played a sold-out show at Berkeley’s Greek Theatre on September 5 with Cian Ducrot as opener, a performance widely praised on social media for both vocal and emotional intensity. Reviewers and fans alike described the night as “heart-warming” and “mesmerizing,” per coverage from audience footage and JamBase. Just one night later, his North American tour hit the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Arena in Nevada, with another sold-out crowd and a setlist packed with new tracks from his latest album. Anticipation is already building for his Honolulu show at the Waikiki Shell on September 27, promoted as a showcase for part two of his new album, which industry critics are calling even stronger than his breakthrough debut.

In the last several days, another newsmaker: the country group Lady A publicly praised a viral Kelly Clarkson and Teddy Swims cover of one of their heartbreak ballads, calling their rendition “stunning” on social media and prompting a flood of fan engagement. While neither party has teased a full collaboration, industry watchers wouldn’t be surprised if something comes from the mutual admiration.

His personal life is also making positive headlines. Teddy Swims and his partner, Raiche Wright, just announced the birth of their baby boy in a heartfelt joint Instagram post this week. The couple has become a source of inspiration for fans, not only for this joyful milestone but because of Raiche’s high-profile 30-pound weight loss transformation, a journey she credits to their mutual support, healthy routines, and mental wellness practices. Both have shared candid family moments and motivational messages in recent days, further rooting Swims as a relatable star with an ever-expanding reach across social channels.

There are no verified negative reports, controversies, or speculative rumors emerging at this time. The momentum of the tours, coupled with his upcoming landmark Grand Final performance and the recent addition to his family, marks this week as especially significant for Teddy Swims both on and off the stage—adding another set of standout chapters to his biography and legacy.
