The Photo Proving “It’s All Thanks to Taylor Swift”
A photo of Taylor Swift, taken in 2022, has gone viral once again, thanks to two of the hottest stars in the music industry today. Recently, a photo featuring the three famous “blondes” – Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Rosé (from BLACKPINK) – resurfaced on social media. This photo was snapped at an after-party following the 2022 VMAs, where BLACKPINK made a groundbreaking comeback with their album Born Pink and performed on the prestigious American awards stage for the first time. At this event, the BLACKPINK members met Taylor Swift, with Rosé, a self-proclaimed fangirl of Swift, smiling brightly next to the Anti-Hero singer, creating an iconic moment for fans.
What has made this photo go viral once more is a special coincidence: both Sabrina Carpenter and Rosé – the two Gen Z singers pictured with Taylor Swift – have experienced incredible success in 2024.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Rise to Pop Stardom
Let’s start with Sabrina Carpenter. 2024 has been a breakthrough year for the “pop Barbie” as she dominated the summer with a string of hits like Espresso, Please Please Please, and Taste. Her album Short n Sweet has established Sabrina Carpenter as one of the leading voices of the new pop generation, breaking records and becoming a strong contender for major year-end music awards.
Rosé’s Global Success and Upcoming Album
On the other hand, Rosé has been shattering records with her latest achievements. Her single APT. has taken the world by storm, and after her departure from YG Entertainment, she collaborated with Bruno Mars, blending Korean culture with English lyrics and reaching a global audience. Currently, APT. is at the top of the global Spotify charts, with even more records expected to fall.
But APT. is just the beginning. On December 6, Rosé will release her much-anticipated debut solo album, Rosie, which features 12 tracks. Not only did Rosé perform the album, but she also helped write and produce it, sharing her personal story with her fans. Recently, Rosé graced the cover of Paper Magazine to promote the album, and the magazine revealed that Rosie would carry a Taylor Swift-inspired sound, combining intimate storytelling with soaring melodies about heartbreak – themes Taylor Swift is known for.
A Viral Moment Thanks to Taylor Swift
Both Rosé and Sabrina Carpenter share a close friendship with Taylor Swift, and this viral photo of the trio sparked a flurry of online comments. Fans jokingly claimed, “It’s all thanks to Taylor Swift” for their success, as the image symbolized how both artists have “borrowed” a bit of Swift’s magic. Indeed, Taylor Swift has a knack for surrounding herself with the biggest stars in the music industry, and this iconic photo serves as a reminder of her immense influence in the entertainment world.
