However, a source confirms toRolling Stonethat no, that is not Swift on the song.
Upon first listen, the outlandish theory that the two pop Goliaths teamed up sounds almost plausible.
The song starts with tantalizing synths that recall Swiftsreputationeraand echo her own track Gorgeous.
(How Bad Do U Want Me actually interpolates the 1982 song Only You by Yazoo.)
i was so convinced it was hers i had to check the credits.
is just me????
Probably why I love it so much.
This isnt the first time fans theorized that the pop star secretly appeared on a major album release.
When Beyonce releasedCowboy Carter,fans were convincedthat Swift made an uncredited appearance on Bodyguard.
She, in fact, did not.
Its not the first rumor to come out of GagasMayhemera either.
InJune 2024, the singer referenced Swift as she set the record straight about pregnancy rumors.
Not pregnant, Gaga wrote in the caption of a TikTok vide.
Just down bad cryin at the gym.
Gaga doesnt owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.
