Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Sparks Taylor Swift Collaboration Rumors: A Deep Dive into the Fan Frenzy and Musical Alliance
The Buzz Around Cowboy Carter and Taylor Swift’s Supposed Feature
In the lead-up to Beyoncé‘s new album Cowboy Carter, rumors swirled that a certain country-turned-pop star may be a featured collaborator on the project. When it finally dropped at midnight Friday (March 29), however, Taylor Swift‘s name was nowhere in sight on the credits.
But wait. Who’s that singing in the background on track eight? After listening, many fans were immediately convinced that Swift actually did have a cameo, albeit a small one, on Bey’s Renaissance sequel, potentially providing a few complementary vocals for the song “Bodyguard.” The person behind those repeating “Ahh” counter melodies does sound remarkably like the “Anti-Hero” artist.
“THAT IS 100% TAYLOR SWIFT ON BODYGUARD BY BEYONCÉ NOW GIVE ME A FULL COLLAB,” one Swiftie tweeted shortly after Cowboy Carter dropped. This sentiment was echoed by numerous fans, sparking a frenzy on social media platforms. But despite the rampant speculation, confirmation came that Swift’s voice is not included in “Bodyguard.”
