Kendrick Lamar Sings 'Shake It Off,' Taylor Swift Responds With 'Backseat Freestyle' [WATCH]

Kendrick Lamar and Taylor Swift have had a thing for each other's music in recent months.

It began when Swift revealed she had memorized every word to the 2012 classic good kid m.A.A.d city, and jammed to "Backseat Freestyle" in a Rolling Stone cover story.

"You want to know a trick to immediately go from feeling victimized to feeling awesome?" Swift told them before revealing the track is her preferred method of relaxation. "This is my go-to. ...I know every word."

Lamar responded in kind, telling the AP that Swift's music is worthy of his ears.

"Some people always try to lock it down and categorize it for one particular listener," he said. "But it moves all, even people from other genres.

"I appreciate Taylor Swift for supporting not only my music but just the hip-hop culture. There's really no gap. It's music and it feels good."

The affair continued on Tuesday, when Lamar sang the chorus to Swift's "Shake It Off" during an interview with The FADER:

Lamar also added the following (via MTV): "You can't put great music in different genres. I enjoy great music outside of my own music all the time, so I definitely can see where she's coming from when she says that she listens to the record, and it's a great thing for her to acknowledge that and put that good energy out into the world like that."

Hours later, Swift posted an Instagram video in celebration of selling more than $1.2 million copies of new album 1989 in one week.

In the vid, she lip synchs part of "Backseat Freestyle." Check it out:

What's next? No one knows, but there are some serious #PowerCouple vibes getting thrown around here.
