Lil Nas X Reveals Why a Collaboration With Taylor Swift Never Happened

Lil Nas X has revealed that he almost collaborated with Taylor Swift. Here's why it didn't happen.

During an interview at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday (March 27), the 25-year-old rapper shared that he was offered a chance to add a verse to one of the pop superstar’s songs but ultimately turned it down. Swift was nominated in six categories at the 2025 Grammy Awards in February, including album of the year for The Tortured Poets Department, which spent 17 nonconsecutive weeks at No. The mini album compiles all of Lil Nas X’s recent releases, including “Dreamboy,” “Big Dummy!,” “Swish,” “Hotbox,” “Lean on My Body” and “Right There!” It’s unclear whether all the tracks on the EP will also appear on his forthcoming full-length project.
