BLACKPINK members may be on a hiatus as Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa focus on solo pursuits. However, that hasn't made the group any less popular or away from the buzz, thanks to their devoted fanbase, BLINKs. Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour continues to make waves across the globe, with fans flocking to her sold-out performances. Alongside this tour, another hot topic among Swifties is the much-anticipated re-recording of her 2017 album, Reputation. Despite widespread speculation that the album would drop during the Grammy season, its absence has only fueled more fan theories. The latest? A potential collaboration with none other than South Korean superstar girl group, BLACKPINK.
Rumours of this unexpected partnership have sparked immense excitement among fans of both artists. The speculation gained traction after Pop Tingz, a popular Twitter account, hinted that BLACKPINK might feature on Reputation (Taylor’s Version). Although nothing has been confirmed by Swift herself, the mere suggestion has fans buzzing with anticipation.
Adding fuel to the fire, BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently mentioned in an interview with ELLE Magazine that she wouldn’t mind embarking on a tour similar to Swift's Eras Tour. With Lisa now owning her master recordings, much like Swift, the idea of BLACKPINK joining forces with the pop icon seems less far-fetched. Fans are now dreaming of a collaboration that could blend the musical styles of both artists in a way that no one ever imagined.

Some are eagerly awaiting official confirmation, while others are already declaring their excitement for what could be the most significant female partnership in recent music history. Whether the rumour turns out to be true or not, one thing is clear: fans are ready and waiting for what could be an iconic moment in music.
