Fans ‘disillusioned’ about Taylor Swift and Beyoncé…

Fans need to keep holding out hope for a collaboration between Taylor Swift and Beyoncé because it didn’t happen on Cowboy Carter.

After Beyoncé, 42, released her new country album on Friday, March 29, fans speculated that a voice that sounds like Swift’s could be heard harmonizing in the background 12 seconds into the song “Bodyguard.”

Spotify and Apple Music didn’t provide credits for the album, which created even more intrigue on social media. However, Billboard’s music executive director Jason Lipshutz took to X on Friday to confirm that Swift, 34, didn’t provide vocals on the album. People subsequently reported the same.

While Swift is not on Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé delivered an album full of memorable collaborations including Linda Martell, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Stevie Wonder, Post Malone, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste and more.

“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce‘s influence” Swift wrote via Instagram at the time. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale. 😇🙏🥹.”
