Following Rahman's shoutout, fans flooded social media platforms, expressing their desire for a collaboration between the two musical powerhouses.

This isn't the first time Rahman has praised Swift. In a recent interview with Connect FM Canada, Rahman expressed his admiration for the singer, choosing her over Ariana Grande. He expressed willingness to collaborate with Swift, stating, "Whatever she wants! If she wants a dance number, it will be a dance number; if she wants a romantic number, it will be a romantic number. She writes the lyrics anyway!"

Reflecting on Swift's journey to stardom, Rahman drew parallels to music icon Michael Jackson's philanthropic efforts, applauding Swift's resilience and inspiration to fellow musicians. He cited Swift's track "Blank Space" as particularly influential, highlighting her ability to inspire the music industry with her resilience and creativity.
