Taylor Swift and BTS collaboration?

Do you remember last summer when BTS participated in the Billboard Music Awards? Back then they presented the name BTS around the world winning the top social artists award. Compared to a year ago, their status has changed completely. In 2017 when BTS did not get much attention, they sat in the back seat far from the stage to watch BBM as the members were not given a chance to perform on the stage either. But exactly a year later, BTS who became a superstar received the front row seats from Billboard. It wasn't just the billboard treatment that changed. On this day, countless pop stars came to talk to BTS, john legend, Tyra Banks and the lil pump showed off their friendship by taking pictures with BTS. What did they think of the sudden appearance of an Asian boy band? There was another pop star who came to the waiting room with BTS, it was Taylor Swift. She said she was surprised to see the BTS at the stage. What did BTS and Taylor Swift talk about and backstage?What did Taylor Swift think about the advent of BTS?

After billboard musical awards a photo was posted on Taylor's Instagram

                 

People started to go wild as the photo was shown on the Internet of BTS members and her in a friendly pose. She made fan smile by writing so great to meet you, you are killing it. People were curious about what conversation they had together. Because entertainment reading the hopes of defense uploaded a video containing the behind stories on the content TV channel. And this video, Taylor visits the reading room of BTS herself. She asked RM you're performing today. He answered that he is and she seemed surprised and impressed, "Are you performing tonight?", "Yes", "What am I watching?", "completely different than anything else?" After watching the performance of BTS, she said, What did I just see? The reason Taylor Swift was the prize is probably because in the western side, it's hard to find such an explosive group, You don't see this every day, A group singing in Korean to stand in billboard stages and gain popularity from all over the world. This day, she showed respect and a very surprising reaction to what they have accomplished. If another artist says that they have been thrilled by your performances and that it was the greatest of all, wouldn't that be the most grateful respect?

Taylor seems to have known what group they was. From long before, at that time, there were a lot of articles about BTS breaking Taylor Swift's  record, it's likely that Taylor also read the articles and was more interested in BTS. What kind of record have they sat that made the Western media viral? In 2017 Taylor's music video "Look what you made me do" set the highest YouTube record for 43 million views in just 24 hours. While this music video made headlines by jumping over 10 million views in six hours, BTS broke this record. The music video "fake love" gained over 10 million views in just four hours and 55 minutes setting a new high record.


                    

This news went viral that BTS had wrote new history and YouTube beating Taylor Swift's record. Even people who did not know about BTS have then felt how popular this boy band is. Hasn't this been a chance for other pop singers including Taylor to have more interest in BTS?

Taylor has expressed continuous good feelings towards BTS after on. It also made news that she was happy to find out her songs in Jen's playlist. In Jen's Spotify playlist there were Taylor's songs "me" and "you need to come down". I think Jen liked the songs from her album lover. To this Taylor Swift showed happy affections, saying love them so much. Fans reacted by hoping for a collaboration between them. No further discussion is yet made but the hopes and expectations of fans are high. If they really do collaborate together, wouldn't YouTube explode?

I look forward to some extra interactions between them other than music as well. I hope to see Taylor and BTS together again at the next awards too.
