Troye Sivan has long been inspired by Swift’s songwriting prowess.
Troye Sivan, 27, has been naming Swift as his ideal cowriter since 2016.
“I really, really, really want to write with Taylor Swift,” he told Billboard. “I’m sure that everyone would say that, but for me… as a student of pop music, I feel like I have so much that I could learn from her.”
Two years later, when asked about his “dream duet partner,” Sivan said Swift again, joking that he “may as well reach for the stars.”
“We [already] performed live,” he told Variety, referring to his cameo appearance on her “Reputation” tour in 2018. “I admire her so much as a writer. So even if we didn’t duet and we just wrote together, I would be totally into that idea — so I could watch her work. She’s a master of pop.”
More recently, Sivan listed “This Is Me Trying,” “You Are In Love,” and “Clean” as his top three favorite songs by Swift.
“When she hits that stride, I get so jealous, and I just want to listen to the song over and over and over again,” he told Jared Frieder for Interview magazine. “I’m always like, ‘Damn, Taylor Swift is so good.'”
