AJ McLean Extends Stage Invitation to Swift During Las Vegas Residency
Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean has made a public invitation to Taylor Swift to join the iconic boy band on stage during their residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas. McLean suggested that such a collaboration would be a memorable and unmissable experience for fans.
This proposal follows a viral social media moment when a fan-created mashup of Swift’s and the Backstreet Boys’ songs gained immense popularity online. McLean’s personal endorsement of the remix further fuelled the excitement, sparking anticipation for what could be a historic performance.
McLean Praises Swift’s Kindness and Talent
Speaking to TMZ about possible guest performers for the residency, McLean mentioned several major artists, including Coldplay. However, he revealed that his top choice for a guest would be Taylor Swift.
McLean expressed deep admiration for Swift, not only as an artist but also for her character. He noted that Swift had always been kind to his daughters, calling her “the sweetest” and “the best.” He also confirmed that Swift is a self-proclaimed fan of the Backstreet Boys. The admiration is mutual, with McLean emphasising that the band are huge fans of her music, making a potential collaboration even more exciting.
Viral Mashup Sparks Talk of Epic Collaboration
The prospect of a live collaboration between the two pop giants has gained even more momentum thanks to a recent viral trend. A mashup of Swift’s “Elizabeth Taylor” and the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” has taken TikTok by storm, amassing over one million views.
McLean is confident that a joint performance between Swift and the Backstreet Boys would make waves globally, joking that it could even “break the planet.” With their massive fanbases combined, the collaboration has the potential to create an unprecedented cultural moment.
Future Residency Dates Provide Opportunity for Special Guest
The Backstreet Boys have already announced new Las Vegas residency dates for late 2025, creating a perfect window for a special guest appearance. With McLean’s invitation now out in the open, the ball is in Taylor Swift’s court.
If Swift accepts, the collaboration between these two pop titans would mark an unforgettable and historic moment in music history. Fans around the world are eagerly watching to see whether Swift will take McLean up on his offer and help make the performance a reality.
