Taylor Swift and Charlie Puth’s Longstanding Friendship
Puth has been an admirer of Taylor Swift for as long as one can recall, often covering her songs during his shows. “This is why she’s such a genius, man,” the Attention singer said of her in 2021 while performing Teardrops on My Guitar.
And when the songstress joined TikTok the same year, the fellow musicians had a sweet interaction on the social media platform, with Puth welcoming “his fellow Sag.”
“I’ve lurked your account for ages! Thanks for the welcome, piano prince,” Swift responded.
Taylor Swift first announced The Tortured Poets Department on February 4, while accepting a gold gramophone at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Later on, during her Eras Tour, Swift declared that writing TTPD “was really a lifeline for me,” adding, “Just the things that I was going through, the things that I was writing about, it kind of reminded me why songwriting actually gets me through my life. I’ve never had an album that I needed songwriting more than I needed it on Tortured Poets.”
TTPD is now available to stream and shop on various music platforms and select record stores.
