Nelly Furtado Hints at Potential Collaboration with Taylor Swift: 'Let's Get It Popping'

Nelly Furtado recently hinted at an exciting potential collaboration with none other than Taylor Swift. This news has fans buzzing with anticipation, eager for a possible musical partnership that could yield another hit like “Give It to Me.”

An Unheard Pitch

Despite the growing excitement, the 45-year-old singer-songwriter clarified that Taylor Swift has yet to hear her pitch. During an interview with Extra on Thursday, July 11, Furtado revealed, “I have a song for Taylor.” She then mentioned a connection to Swift through her boyfriend, stating, “Dom Dolla produced it … I think Dom’s friends with Travis [Kelce], so let’s get it popping. We want Taylor on it!”

A Memorable VMA Moment

Swift’s potential involvement was first mentioned when Furtado reflected on a viral moment from last year’s VMAs. In a clip shared on TikTok, Swift can be seen enthusiastically praising Furtado’s 2001 hit “I’m Like a Bird,” exclaiming that she had been “screaming” the song. The 34-year-old pop star added, “Versatility, dude, you can do anything!” to which Furtado responded, “Every time you write another amazing song, I’m like, ‘She did it again!'”

Reflecting on Surreal Experiences

Reflecting on this memorable interaction, Furtado described it as “kind of surreal.” She shared, “I take these long breaks away from music, and sometimes I feel like a music librarian trapped in a pop star body.” Furtado expressed her amazement at connecting with other artists who appreciate her music, including Taylor Swift. “It’s kind of like, ‘Oh, f--k, that’s cool. Oh really? You were singing my song at a party? That’s amazing,’” she added.

New Music from Furtado

This interview comes just ahead of the release of Furtado’s new single “Corazón,” featuring Bomba Estéreo. This track follows a series of recent collaborations, including “Gala y Dalí” with Juanes in March and “Love Bites” with Tove Lo and SG Lewis in May.

Swift’s Recent Success

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continues to dominate the music charts. Her latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has held the top spot on the Billboard 200 for nearly three months since its release in April. Fans are eagerly waiting to see if a collaboration between these two powerhouse artists will become a reality.
