Lil Nas X Says He Nearly Collaborated With Taylor Swift: ‘We Were Working on Something’

Lil Nas X revealed that he had almost collaborated with Taylor Swift, but alas, it never happed.

During an interview with E! News at the GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles last week, Lil Nas X explained how he was offered a chance to join forces with Swift in the studio; however, he couldn’t get a feel for the track, so he ended up passing on it.

“We were working on something,” said Lil Nas X. “She offered to let me try a verse on something, but I couldn’t catch a vibe for it, so it didn’t happen.”

Despite it not getting finished, Lil Nas X didn’t close the door on working with Swift, added, “When it happens… Global. World. Tay-tay and Nassy.”

He also said, “I’m proud of my girl. I love the album. She’s been doing her thing. She’s at the very tippety top. I’m thankful that she even considered me.”

Lil Nas X has crept back into the music scene lately with a plethora of newly released tracks. He recently dropped Days Before Dreamboy, a surprise eight-track EP which includes recent releases such as “Light Again,” “Need Dat Boy,” “Dreamboy,” “Big Dummy!,” “Swish,” “Hotbox,” and more.

The EP serves as the precursor to Nas’ upcoming sophomore album Dreamboy. In his interview with People at the GLAAD Media Awards, he revealed how he’s approaching this new era of his career.

“I wanna be myself more than ever this era, the two-time Grammy winner said. “I want to be completely free out there, only doing the things that I wanna do. If I do not want to do it, I’m not doing it.”

He added, “If I don’t want be there, I’m not gonna be there. I think it’s more important than ever to really stand in myself and my power and recognize where I’m taking my energy and where I don’t want to take it.”
