It didn’t seem like that much of a stretch to think that Beyoncé and Taylor Swift might have collabed on “Cowboy Carter,” especially considering how much they have supported one another publicly.
2023 was the year of Beyoncé and Swift with the release of “Renaissance” and “Midnights.” While many like to pit them against one another, the two musicians have had nothing but love and respect for one another and ended the stan wars by showing up to each other’s movie premiere. In October 2023, Swift shared a sweet post about the “Cuff It” singer after Beyoncé attended “The Eras Tour” film premiere. Swift wrote, “I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence. The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. … She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.”
Just a couple of months after Swift’s movie premiere, the “All Too Well” singer showed her support for Beyoncé and her own concert film “Renaissance: a Film by Beyoncé,” sharing a snapshot of the two at the London premiere on social media. The growing friendship had all the makings of a future music collaboration. Unfortunately, Swifties and the Beyhive will have to play the two musicians back to back on their playlists because that’s the closest thing they have to a collaboration, at least for now.
