Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Megan Thee Stallion is making it known that she is a Taylor Swift fan — and she has something bold to say about the pop superstar.
In an article published on Saturday, September 7, the 29-year-old rapper spoke to People about how she would love to work on a song with the 14-time Grammy winner.
“I love Taylor Swift, and I would like to collab with her one day,” the “Hot Girl Summer” artist gushed. Megan also noted that she loves how Swift, 34, is close in height to herself (Megan is 5’10”, and Swift is 5’11”) — declaring that the “Karma” artist “is a stallion too, she’s a tall girl.”
“I love that,” Megan added. “We would be so cute next to each other.”

This isn’t the first time Megan has spoken highly about the singer-songwriter. In 2023, Megan talked to Entertainment Tonight about performing at the Video Music Awards with Cardi B and noted how she loved Swift’s energy during her performance. “Her real name is Tay Tay,” Megan teased. “Because when I looked back and saw the clips of how she was turning up, I said, ‘Taylor Swift, friend, you better be having a bash while we up here shaking it.'”
Last week, the “Body” singer was featured in a star-studded Pepsi advertisement with Swift’s NFL star boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The “Make Your Gameday Epic” commercial is a sequel to the iconic gladiator-themed commercial Pepsi released in 2004. In thenew ad, Kelce, 34, plays a gladiator alongside other football legends like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Megan, for her part, plays an empress.
A potential collaboration with Swift not only seems even more feasible now because of her gig with Kelce, but because both Megan and the “I C *** an D *** o It With A Broken Heart” hitmaker are known for frequently working with artists from different genres.
Swift has often guested rappers on multiple hits — including Ice Spice on “Karma,” Kendrick Lamar on “Bad Blood” and “End Game” with Future. Megan, for her part, has collaborated with many of the biggest names in the pop game — from Beyonce on the remix of “Savage” (which scored 2 Grammys), to Ariana Grande and Doja Cat on Grande’s hit “24+35.”
