Pop icons Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny have shown mutual admiration for each other over the years. At the 2023 Grammy Awards, the two were photographed together, with Bad Bunny later sharing their image on Instagram alongside their similarly titled songs.
Is Taylor Swift friends with Bad Bunny?
Taylor Swift is not officially friends with Bad Bunny, but the record-making artist has been spotted grooving to the latter’s music on multiple occasions. Both the Grammy-winning legends attended the 65th Annual Awards of the Recording Academy in 2023.
Swifties spotted the “Blank Space” hitmaker grooving to the King of Latin Trap’s music. Later, Bad Bunny, aka Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared a picture of Swift and him embracing each other on his Instagram story. He added two songs with the picture: his own track, “Agosto,” and Swift’s “August” (via X, formerly Twitter)
Since then, fans have been speculating if the duo would collaborate on a music project in the future. Fans of both artists have also drawn parallels between the two. A Redditor shared, “As a fan of both, it’s fascinating to see how two artists from such different backgrounds can share so many parallels.”
Both Swift and Bad Bunny have faced challenges in the early days of their careers. The fan explained, “Taylor and Benito have both faced unfair stereotypes, shattered them with their talent, and redefined what it means to be a pop superstar. Their ability to evolve, take risks, and draw in new audiences has cemented their status as cultural icons.”
The parallels between Swift and Bunny also continue to grow as they achieve new heights in their record-making streaming count. As per Spotify records, T. Swizzle joined Bad Bunny as the only artist to surpass 1 BILLION streams on Spotify this year.
Given the duo’s global popularity, fans theorize that the pair might solidify a plan of collaboration in the near future. Sharing a clip of Swift dancing to Bad Bunny’s music with Kelce, a user said on X, “It’s time for a Bad Bunny feat. Taylor Swift collab.”
Meanwhile, Swifties speculate that the Folklore hitmaker will “announce something” at the 2025 AMAs. The eagle-eyed fans have spotted “clues” from Swift’s official site to support their theories. Additionally, the singer has received six nominations at the 2025 American Music Awards.
