From country star, to pop singer, to… R&B artist? Rumor has it that Taylor Swift may be adding an R&B-inspired album to her list of accomplishments. We know what you’re thinking: Drake. Maybe the rumored romance is rubbing off on Swift, and now she’s ready to try something new. If you think about it, it might not be too much of a stretch. Plus, it wouldn’t be the first time she worked with a rapper; her collab with Kendrick Lamar on “Bad Blood” was obviously very successful.
According to The Sun, Swift called Drake to collaborate on her next album. According to an unknown source—so take this with a grain of salt—T.Swift is ready to try something new and expand her artistic horizons.
“Taylor is always looking at ways to grow as an artist and really wants to try something different and unexpected for the next album. She’s not afraid of experimenting so is working with a lot of different faces to see if she suits a new sound,” said the unidentified source.
Based on the ‘source,’ it’s hard to know how serious this claim is, but it could be an interesting duo. Swift has tested out different genres throughout her career, so a new sound wouldn’t surprise us too much. According to the source, Drake is all about it:
“Drake has been her friend for a while and it seemed a no-brainer that she would spend time in the studio with him. As well as writing with Taylor, he’s producing a few tracks and even lent his vocals to one song. It’s a real mix of edgier hip-hop and R&B sounds.”
Neither artist has responded to any of the rumors, but it does seem like a Draylor (Trake?) collaboration could be in our future. What do you think?
