Will Taylor Swift and Bono collaborate on a song one day?
Graham Norton discussed the idea of the stars working together when they both appeared on the same episode of The Graham Norton Show in the UK on Friday (28 October). Bono was promoting his new book, Abandonmentwhile Swift was on the show to talk about her new album, Midnights.
“Have you worked together? Norton asked the pair.
“Not yet,” Swift replied, but added, “We’ll talk about that later.”
Swift may have teased the public – but given the U2 frontman’s enthusiasm for his work, the potential idea may not be completely out of the question.
“I’m a Swiftie,” Bono announced. Touched by this statement, Swift put her hand on her heart.
“He’s so nice, he sent me roses when I played in Dublin,” Swift said. “He doesn’t want to take credit…He’s a really great person. He’s just awesome and caring, just the best there is.
“I better have a drink,” said a shy Bono.
Before launching into a conversation about their respective new projects – as well as those of guest actor Eddie Redmayne and athlete Alex Scott – Norton also broke the ice by sharing photos from some of their first live performances. , including Swift playing for a very niche Nashville crowd. when she was 14.
“That was a big deal for me,” the “Anti-Hero” singer said while watching the snapshot. “I was 14 and it was an event called the Nashville Rubber Duck Race, and that’s exactly what it sounds like. They would put rubber ducks in the river and see who won, and I was the entertainment official.
“It was the whole crowd,” she said of the three people in the photo.
Swift also talked about the concept behind Midnight, re-recording her previous albums, directing a short film based on “All Too Well” and a miserable audition/screen test she once had with Redmayne. And while she hasn’t revealed anything about her upcoming tour, she said one will be happening “soon.”
