Taylor Swift is a name that needs no introduction! The billionaire singer has cemented her name through her music, captivating stage presence, and authenticity. Her fans, a.k.a. Swifties, are found everywhere today, desperately waiting for her amazing concerts to get a glimpse of their favorite artist. But what if we told you there is a chance for a possible collaboration involving not just Taylor Swift but another incredible artist? Well, Nelly Furtado has a song picked out for a probable partnership with Taylor Swift.
Furtado shared in an interview with Extra on Thursday, July 11, that she wrote a track for the Style singer, but due to her busy schedule, Swift hasn't heard it yet. "I have a song for Taylor," she said, noting the track was produced by Australian EDM artist Dom Dolla, who is a friend of Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce. "So let’s get it poppin'! We want Taylor on it!"
Nelly Furtado has nothing but good things and praises for pop icon Taylor Swift
Furtado brought up the song after speaking with the outlet about meeting Swift at the 2023 MTV VMA Awards, where she presented the pop icon with the Song of the Year award, and they exchanged a sweet moment.
“It was kind of surreal for me,” Furtado told Extra. She recalled how she took long breaks and felt like a librarian trapped in a pop star's body. So when she returned to the scene, she felt like she was back from hibernation.
She continued, “Meeting other artists who liked my music, like Taylor Swift, was amazing. When Taylor Swift said she was singing my song at a party, it was like, ‘Oh f---, that’s cool!’ You forget you’ve been around for a while.”
Furtado also referred to Swift as an icon during her appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna on July 11. She added that witnessing the new generation appreciating her music made her feel validated and helped her dismiss her doubts, knowing that people were still grooving to her music even after 20 years.
