During the GLAAD Media Awards on March 27, 2025, Lil Nas X revealed that he and Taylor Swift almost collaborated on a song, expressing his admiration for her by stating, 'I’m proud of my girl.'

He mentioned attempting to write a verse for the collaboration but ultimately felt he couldn't catch the right vibe.

Despite his interest in collaborations, Lil Nas X is currently focused on his own music, particularly his recently released EP, 'Days Before Dreamboy,' which debuted on March 28, 2025.

This new project comes nearly four years after his debut album 'Montero' and showcases his emotional vulnerability and innovative visuals.

Lil Nas X aims to embrace a 'carefree' and fun approach in his upcoming music era, contrasting with his previous provocative style.

Leading up to the release of 'Dreamboy,' his upcoming sophomore album set for summer 2025, he has been actively releasing new music, including singles like 'Light Again' and 'Need Dat Boy.'

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift continues to thrive in the music industry, with her 11th studio album, 'The Tortured Poets Department,' having become Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day after its release in April 2024.

Swift's recent Eras Tour, which concluded in December 2024, became the highest-grossing tour of all time, earning over $2 billion in ticket sales.

In addition to her music success, Swift is also making headlines for her high-profile relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce.

Lil Nas X has also praised Beyoncé's album for its significance to the LGBTQ+ community, highlighting the liberating effect her songs have had on him.

In addition to Swift, Lil Nas X is eager to collaborate with Doechii, the 2025 Grammy winner for Best Rap Album, indicating his desire to work with other artists.

Reflecting on her tour, Swift described it as the hardest she had ever undertaken, emphasizing the physical preparation involved.
