A Song by Taylor Features a Shout-Out to Charlie.
Perhaps you’ve heard about the leak of Taylor Swift’s most recent album, but did you notice that Chalie Puth was mentioned? Yes, fans lost their minds over a specific line in Taylor’s newly leaked album that mentioned Charlie. “You smoked and ate seven bars of chocolate/ we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist,” sings Taylor in the song. You nod off when I scratch your head, much like a golden retriever with tattoos.
Many were taken aback by this as not many people are aware of Taylor and Charlie Puth’s friendship. But wait—it’s not just a one-way street; Charlie Puth, the well-known musician, is a die-hard Swift fan. He doesn’t hesitate to sing Taylor’s songs while performing live. Charlie has made it known that he loves Taylor Swift’s music in everything from Trouble to Blank Space.
Charlie’s Admiration and Devotion to Taylor
Charlie Puth didn’t take long to return Taylor Swift’s affection after she gave him an unexpected shoutout in her most recent album. He recently released a song called Hero, and you know what? He specifically mentioned someone who has been encouraging him. Who might that someone be, and how? Taylor, most likely? Charlie is merely expressing his gratitude and admiration for Swift.
Charlie has already received praise from Taylor, and Taylor has returned the favor a few times. Their friendship appears to have started around 2017. At the time, Swift was making a significant return with her album Reputation, and Charlie was preparing to release Voice notes, his second studio album. Charlie stated that Taylor Swift’s first album served as inspiration for his lead single, Attention.
Charlie even wrote on how great Taylor’s song Teardrops on My Guitar is on Instagram once. To express his appreciation for the music, he even broke down its chords. You know what’s even more awesome? After reading his post, Taylor thanked him. They seem to be a part of the same music fan club.
