From The Sun via Jezebel via Stereogum.

We understand Taylor is exploring the new urban sound in the studio at the moment and has roped in a man who knows a thing or two about that world — new pal DRAKE.

A source said: “Taylor is always looking at ways to grow as an artist and really wants to try something different and unexpected for the next album.

“She’s not afraid of experimenting so is working with a lot of different faces to see if she suits a new sound.

“The remix of her song Bad Blood had a less pop vibe — especially once KENDRICK LAMAR featured on it — and was a big hit, so she thinks her fans will like her going in this direction.

“Drake has been her friend for a while and it seemed a no-brainer that she would spend time in the studio with him.

“As well as writing with Taylor, he’s producing a few tracks and even lent his vocals to one song.

“It’s a real mix of edgier hip-hop and R&B sounds.”

While the information is probably 100% wrong, it's incredibly funny to think about Taylor going from country all the way to the opposite side of the genre spectrum for her new sound. Going from this:

to this:

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Relavent

 

[The Faceless Master]

all that shade on Drake for being an R&B artist... lol

 

[Spine_Ripper]

This is like the music version of Trump running for president because Obama roasted his ass.

 

[PeskyToaster]

what happened to our wholesome country girl?

 

[shintoki]

Judging by how the year as been proceeding.

Expect Hip Hop album of the year

 

[Lambtron]

Go away White Devil.

That sounds about right. Something deeply ironic about a pop star beloved by white nationalists co-opting a traditionally black musical art for her own pop purposes.

what happened to our wholesome country girl?

Corrupted by D-Money, Shifty, and Smoothie, of course.

Fixed that for you, because we all know the Grammys don't care about artistry just hits.

 

[John Kowalski]

So why did you correct it from Ye then?

Spoiler

"Blac Chyna fuckin’ Rob, help him with the weight"

Bleach my asshole if this is too artistic for the Grammy awards.

 

[hughesta]

Another award Taylor can steal from a black artist

 

[TheBowen]

This could make 2016 somehow even worse

Damn son, ease up off that salt.

If you didn't get the beautiful juxtaposition of clothes and assholes along with the Dadaist sentiment powering that set of bars, you clearly don't deserve to listen to music.

Spoiler

The sarcasm should be painfully obvious.

I'd rather take the occasional bar about bleached assholes than ever-present lyrical mediocrity e.g. "6 upside down its a nine now", "bars heavy like triple XL", "All these handouts, man, it's getting outta hand", "LOLOL, I'm glad you find this shit amusing", "You toyin' with it like a Happy Meal", and so on and so forth.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Kendrick bout to be robbed again.

Please don't be all trap beats

What salt? Just making a Kanye joke. He also has like 20 Grammys. I'm not a big Drake fan either; he usually annoys me as a rapper. His pop songs are alright though; and similarly I like 808s Kanye more than recent Kanye.

Watch that T-Shirt!

Now if I fuck this model
And she just bleached her asshole
And I get bleach on my T-shirt
I'mma feel like an asshole

Completely misread that, then.

It's just that most every argument I read against "TLOP" always features criticism of those 4 lines out of 16 songs, so I've become conditioned to react against that.

I'd rather Kanye get one more Grammy, than Drake get his second one for his worst album. He rightfully won for "Take Care" and he'll wrongfully win for "VIEWS".

 

[Falchion]

Yep, makes sense after Bad Blood which was really good.

Taylor Swift - X Part 2 featuring 21 savage and Future. Prod Metro Boomin

Taylor gonna mimic 21's voice/flow 😂😭😭

 

[orangutang]

Keep it.

 

[Cagey]

This is some major bullshit.

I'm still waiting on the Swizzy/Harris EDM album of the eternity.*

I need that before Drake and Swift reinvent the love song and the breakup song again.

*will gladly accept the superior Harris/Rihanna duo filling out an album instead

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Prepare for an era of rap/hiphop albums suddenly, coincidentally winning Grammy's for Best Album of the Year

New York got to her y'all. Damn urbans corrupting our youth.

I can't wait to finally hear authentic hip-hop from a true artist, and the inventor of all genres of music.

21 Savage is so passe.

T-Swizz gonna be ripping off 22 Savage, 23 Savage, (21^3) Savage, and 二十一 Savage.

 

[supernormal]

She should make a song with Kanye.

 

[Soul Beat]

I wonder how her white supremacist fans feel about this.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I wonder how her white supremacist fans feel about this.

Probably elated that they've found something new to appropriate.

 

[marrec]

I hope one of the songs features Macklemore and is about white guilt.

 

[Izuna]

Kanye ft.s please

 

[Inferno313]

I hope one of the songs features Macklemore and is about white guilt.

Hey, that new opioid addiction song is a real winner.

My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems

A new high for subtlety in music.

[Oozer3993]

This is all my fault. I just had to ask for Funkmaster Flex to premiere a T-Swizzle track.

 

[Az987]

And the Grammy for hip hop album of the year goes to...
