Will there be a collaboration between IU and Taylor Swift?
On Wednesday, fans and netizens took out their speculations on various social media platforms, following alleged hints directing to possible collaboration between the two singers.
The rumor broke out when IU's stylist shared the America's pop sweetheart's poster from her fourth studio album, "RED", released in 2012. In the photo, Taylor swift was seen holding a red apple and it was posted on the stylist's Instagram story.
Coincidentally, IU's latest Instagram post on her personal account mentioned the word "red" as well, wherein she was seen wearing a red gown, looking like a queen with her tiara and stunning visuals.
Due to these posts, fans especially Swiftie-Uaena hybrids immediately speculated that these posts could be hints of a possible collaboration between America and Korea's sweetheart, wherein they could be re-recording Taylor's Swift "Red."
As soon as the rumor circulated online, fans and supporters of the two award-winning performers expressed their divided opinions about this.
Some fans coming from both fandoms, Swiftie (Taylor's fandom) and Uaena (IU's fandom) conveyed how excited they are, as the two global artists are both singers, composers, performers, and all-rounder artists that are both pillars of the music industry. If the collaboration will happen, it will definitely rewrite the music history!
On the other hand, other fans and netizens think that this is not possible, as Taylor swift rarely does a collaboration with other artists, neither with K-pop artists. Other fans are also popping the bubble of hope of other fans, and strongly believe that this is not possible.
Furthermore, a netizen commented that IU's stylist could be a fan of Taylor Swift, which is one of the clearest reasons why she posted her photo in her IG story.
Fans and supporters might be 'clowning' themselves as of now, a few are thinking that regardless if it's true or not, this partnership will be going to be epic nevertheless.
Moving on, IU is a Korean singer who debuted in 2008, who is also a popular artist and fashion icon. The idol's journey to success is never easy as before being a stellar singer, she was rejected several times by various agencies, and her debut songs weren't as impactful until she released "Good Day." Since then, she showcased songs with a different genre, and with her fun personality, she's able to become Korea's "Nation's sweetheart."
Recently, IU celebrated her 12th Anniversary, and successfully wrapped up a mini-online concert through a special episode for a music show, "Yoo Hee Yeol's Skechbook." In a broadcast, she shared her feelings during the show, and felt emotional after the 10-hour shooting, and expressed how performing differs without an audience. According to IU, thanks to fans during her concerts, she was able to regain her energy despite the tiredness, conveying that she missed Uaena.
On her recent YouTube vlog as well, she revealed that she's having a hard time sleeping, due to her insomnia. However, IU affirmed to fans that she's healthy, and is doing good.
