Known for her prolific songwriting and chart-topping hits, Taylor Swift has collaborated with a diverse array of artists across different genres. From her collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on Bad Blood to artists like Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers, and Ice Spice, Swift has continuously pushed the boundaries with her music, exploring new sounds and styles.
However, despite having numerous collaborations throughout her career, there is still one notable music artist whom Swift has expressed a desire to work with and has still not been able to fulfill it.
Taylor Swift Would Love to Collaborate With Eminem
In a previous interview with InStyle, the Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift expressed her admiration for hip-hop, as she shared that she would love to collaborate with one of the legendary figures in hip-hop music, Eminem.
“I love hip-hop so much. There’s something so honest about it,” she said during the interview. However, despite her enthusiasm, the Love Story singer expressed reluctance to rap herself, as she explained (as per Digital Spy) “Nobody wants to hear me rap.”
But the 34-year-old singer is ready to contribute her vocal talents for a potential collaboration with Eminem. “But I’d sing a chorus for someone for sure. I would sign up for that in a heartbeat,” she said when asked about the possibility of collaborating with Eminem.
However, Taylor Swift’s desire for a collaboration with the renowned rapper remains unfulfilled. Fans would love to see the duo collaborate, especially amid numerous AI-generated mashups. But the singer has still taken the opportunity to surprise her fans by covering Eminem’s iconic song, Lose Yourself, during her Speak Now World Tour in July 2011.
Eminem May Have Influenced Taylor Swift to Not Follow Anyone on Social Media
Taylor Swift has a massive following on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. However, despite millions of followers, it’s her ‘following’ that has been the talk of the town, as she does not follow anyone on either of the social media platforms.
And it is believed that her decision not to follow anyone might have been influenced by Eminem, as the 51-year-old rapper also does not follow anyone on social media. When asked about the same in an interview, the rapper shared, “Always be a leader, not a follower.”
Although Swift is a huge fan of the rapper, she has stated a different reason for not following anyone on social media. As per Marca, the Delicate singer shared that her decision not to follow others was a deliberate effort to assert control over her own life.
“I found a couple years ago that social media started to feel a bit like the media’s way of monitoring my every move,” she said before adding, “It was kind of my way of like not allowing my life to be controlled and monitored by social media.”
Swift is currently working on her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, which she announced after winning her 13th career Grammy at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The Tortured Poets Department is set to release on April 19, 2024.
