AR Rahman expresses wish to collab with Taylor Swift 

During an interview with Connect FM Canada, the 57-year-old Indian music composer shared his perspective on collaborating with Taylor Swift.

When asked if he is willing to collaborate with the Blank Space singer, Rahman said, “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.”

The music director further elaborated his praise for the singer and noted that the Cruel Summer songstress serves as an inspiration to musicians globally. He said, “If people take the power of music to do good things, it is great. Michael Jackson had the power to do that. He did a lot of charity concerts and did philanthropy work in Africa. It is nice to see Taylor attaining that." He also said that Taylor has gone through so much and she is a good case study and inspiration for musicians.
