Taylor Swift Reacts to AJ McLean’s Mashup of “Elizabeth Taylor” with Backstreet Boys Classic
Taylor Swift had a true fangirl moment after AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys surprised fans with a clever mashup of their hits.
On October 20, AJ shared a video of himself lip-syncing to Swift’s 2025 single “Elizabeth Taylor” layered over the beat of the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 anthem “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” The playful remix instantly grabbed Swift’s attention — and the pop icon didn’t hold back her reaction.
“OH HI AJ OH MY GOD,” Swift commented on the post, sending fans into a frenzy. Her response quickly racked up close to 95,000 likes, sparking a flood of comments urging the two stars to make the mashup official.
“Taylor, collaborate this for real! Millennial Swifties will lose it,” one fan wrote. Another added, “So when’s the collab??”
McLean, 47, captioned his video with, “Come on now you know one of us had to!” — clearly enjoying the nostalgic-meets-modern pop moment.
Swift’s enthusiastic reaction has fueled speculation of a potential remix or even a joint performance, something fans have already begun to manifest online.
Whether it’s a one-off mashup or the start of a bigger collaboration, the internet is here for it
