Drake and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swiftโ€™s fans donโ€™t know what to think of Drakeโ€™s latest Instagram post.

The rapper shared a throwback photo Monday night (Apr. 18, 2022) of himself giving the โ€œAll Too Wellโ€ singer a hug from behind as she holds onto him and nestles her head in his arm.

Drake put the image on the last slide in his carousel. In the accompaniment of the post, he simply penned, โ€œThey too soft to understand the meaning of hard work.โ€

Fans have since speculated that Drake and Taylor have something up their sleeves. โ€œThe world needs a drake and Taylor swift song at this point,โ€ one person wrote on Twitter, while another added, โ€œDrake wouldnโ€™t randomly post a photo with Taylor Swift just like thatโ€ฆ Looks like the collaboration is really coming.โ€

Others, meanwhile, believed that Drake will be featured on Taylorโ€™s upcoming re-recording of her 2014 album, โ€œ1989โ€. One user wrote, โ€œRemember there were rumors about Drake x Taylor Swift during the 1989 era? What if the song is in the vault tracks?โ€

โ€œHe posted this as the 5th photo and 1989 is her 5th album and she has a 1989 era haircut!!โ€ a different person confidently stated. One other user, on the other hand, declared, โ€œ1989 TV [Taylorโ€™s Version] IS COMING WITH A DRAKE COLLAB!!โ€

In 2016, he teased plans to make music with the โ€œCardiganโ€ singer in November 2016. โ€œIs that velvet?โ€ he wrote via Instagram, alongside a candid photo of himself and Swift at a party, in reference to the velvet turtleneck he wore to the event. The duo even starred in a pair of Apple Music commercials released around the same time, which featured them singing each otherโ€™s songs while working out in the gym.

Three years later, Swift wore a pin of the โ€œHotline Blingโ€ performerโ€™s face on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, ahead of the release of her seventh studio album, Lover.

Such teases!
