Taylor Swift mentioned a few names of artists in the title track of her latest album, which was released on April 19. Out of the many, Charlie Puth, too, made it to the list. However, the singer initially could not believe that the pop icon placed his name among the other musicians and thought it was the AI talking.

What did Chalie Puth say about Taylor Swift adding his name to her latest album?

He further recalled thinking, “I’m going to wake up tomorrow, and it was just a big joke that someone was playing on me because someone thinks I shouldn’t be a bigger artist, so get the biggest artist since the Beatles to say that I should be a bigger artist. Ha ha ha.”
