Taylor Swift, Drake Collab Shelved For 5 Years + 'Reputation TV' Release Date Revealed

Heads up, Swifties! One of the biggest collaborations that would have ever graced pop music is finally coming to life.

A media outlet reported recently that Taylor Swift and Drake apparently had recorded a track together - a collaboration shelved from her sixth album,

The album only contained 15 tracks upon its release, and according to sources, it was one of the tracks that Tay tay has recorded but did not make the cut because of a rather understandable reason.

Taylor Swift, Drake Collaboration Dropping On 'Reputation' TV?

According to The Sun, Drake and Taylor Swift had a secret recording session last 2017 for a supposed massive collaboration.

However, the track did not see the finish line as she and Drake had some reservations about releasing the song.

A source close to Taylor revealed that the song was shelved because it was deemed "too direct" to Kanye West, which whom both artists had beef at the time.

"Reputation" was deemed controversial as it alluded to the backlash and previous dramas with other celebrities and personalities that came after her release in "1989."

"Taylor has pivoted her focus to re-recording Reputation and she has come across this song she made with Drake, which never saw the light of day.

She knows that everyone is going to think it is about Kimye because it was her row with them which inspired a lot of Reputation," the insider confessed.

But with the drama all gone now, Taylor has expressed skepticism if they should still release the song but is thinking hard to drop it for the sake of the fans.

"She knows that everyone is going to think it is about Kimye because it was her row with them which inspired a lot of Reputation.

But this one is far more direct than the other songs, which was why they didn't decide to release it in the first place," the source furthered.

The outlet also dished out that "Reputation (Taylor's Version)" is said to be slated for release next year as she is set to release her new album this year.

Taylor Swift is releasing her new album, "Midnights," on October 21, 2022.
