AceShowbiz - At four years old, Alicia Keys' son Genesis already knows how to flirt with a woman. The boy seemed to develop a crush on Taylor Swift when they met at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday, March 14.
Sitting on the same row just one seat apart from each other, Genesis couldn't take his eyes off of Taylor as he was sitting on his father Swizz Beatz's lap. He was captured on camera waving his hand at Taylor while his mother was on stage to accept the iHeartRadio Innovator Award. His action successfully caught Taylor's attention as the pop superstar returned his wave with the same gesture.

Noticing the cute interaction while on stage, Alicia poked fun at her son in the middle of her speech. "My son, Genesis, I think is maybe trying to take Taylor out later tonight," she quipped. "He's working on it. I'm not sure how it's gonna go, but it looks pretty good right now."

Later that night, Alicia and Swizz's older son Egypt had his own share of the spotlight when he joined his mother on stage during her performance of "Raise a Man". The R&B star invited "the man that I get to raise" to join her and play the piano. The 8-year-old boy also showed his Floss dance moves as her mother asked the audience to raise their hands in the air.
Sharing the clip on Instagram, Alicia gushed about the moment, "The Mommy & Me moment I've been dreaming of!!! WOWOWOW!!! Egy I'm in awe of you! You're so BRAVE and BEAUTIFUL and make me so PROUD!!!" She added, "The feeling I felt with you next to me during this song???? FULL BODY CHILLS. You ROCKED SON!!!!! your journey is just beginning and I'm so blessed to #raiseaman like you."
