Lady Gaga’s new album Mayhem has fans convinced they’re hearing a familiar voice—Taylor Swift.
The speculation started almost immediately after Mayhem dropped on March 7, with listeners zoning in on track nine, “How Bad Do U Want Me.”
Even though Swift isn’t credited, social media erupted with theories that she might have secretly contributed background vocals or even written the song.
A Taylor Swift Song in Disguise?
The track, which interpolates Yazoo’s 1982 hit Only You, leans into dreamy, ‘80s-inspired synth-pop, a major shift from the darker, moody pop on the rest of Mayhem.
Some fans were so convinced of Swift’s influence that they had to double-check the credits.
- “Why does ‘How Bad Do U Want Me’ sound like a Taylor Swift song? I was convinced it was hers,” one user wrote.
- Another added, “The production? The vocal style? The lyrics?? It’s screaming 2014-2019 Taylor so bad.”
- Others went even further, claiming, “There are Taylor Swift background vocals on this track.”
Fact or Fiction? The Truth Behind the Rumor
While the internet has run wild with theories, sources confirmed to Rolling Stone that Swift is not on the song. Billboard reached out to Gaga’s team for an official statement, but as of now, there’s no confirmation of Swift’s involvement.
Despite that, the comparisons between the two megastars remain, with some fans believing this is just another pop culture mystery waiting to be solved.
Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ Era is Here
Whether or not Taylor Swift was involved, Lady Gaga is owning 2025.
Fresh off her Grammy-winning collaboration with Bruno Mars, Mayhem is packed with unexpected sounds and bold risks, solidifying Gaga’s place as one of pop’s most fearless innovators.
But the question remains—is this just a coincidence, or was Taylor Swift really a secret muse for this track?
