When the tracklist for Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>, dropped<\/a>, fans were surprised to see rapper and walking-ball-of-sunshine Post Malone<\/strong><\/a> listed as a collaborator on one of the tracks<\/a>. As the two artists seem to fall in completely different musical camps, Swifties and anticipating listeners of TTPD<\/em> are wondering more about their bond and how they became friends.\n<\/p>\n Taylor and Post met backstage at an award show circa 2018, and the Eras tour artist praised Post and his hit song of the year, \u201cBetter Now.\u201d<\/p>\n A video of Taylor and Post\u2019s initial interaction hit social media, and the \u201cMarjorie\u201d songwriter was heard saying, \u201c\u2018Better Now\u2019 is so insane. I\u2019m so jealous of that song, that hook.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe were just passing by and she was like, \u2018Oh my God! Nice to see you. \u2018Better Now\u2019 is f\u2013king amazing!\u2019\u201d Post recalled while appearing on The Howard Stern Show<\/em> in October 2023. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018What?\u2019 That\u2019s f\u2013king crazy, you\u2019re a great f\u2013king songwriter! Thank you so very much.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cThere\u2019s so many beautiful artists in the world and for another artist to acknowledge that is a really, really bitching thing. It\u2019s a really special thing. That was a really cool moment and it was very inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n The Hollywood\u2019s Bleeding<\/em> artist dished to Howard Stern<\/strong> that he started hanging out with Taylor thereafter, revealing, \u201cShe is genuinely one of the most kind and considerate and a f\u2013king hell of a songwriter. Holy s\u2013t, amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n If he didn\u2019t have more gushing things to say, Post quipped, \u201cIt\u2019s f\u2013king so cool. It\u2019s so cool.\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor announced her highly anticipated The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> album<\/a> when accepting her 13th Grammy, and the tracklist that dropped thereafter included a surprising collaborator: Post! The two artists teamed up for the track \u201cFortnight\u201d and the rapper dished to Apple Music about working with Taylor ahead of the album\u2019s release<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cShe\u2019s amazing,\u201d he said. \u201cShe\u2019s so sweet and so kind and talented and she hit me up and said, \u2018Let\u2019s do it.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Hell yeah.’\u201d<\/p>\nWhen Did Taylor Post and Post Malone Meet?<\/h2>\n
