Nicki Minaj’s latest Instagram story has sparked considerable excitement and speculation among fans, curious about her recent shout-out to fellow artist Taylor Swift. Known for her candid social media presence, Minaj’s reference to Swift has led many to wonder if there’s a deeper meaning behind the affectionate post.
In this gesture, Minaj called Swift a “Sag Queen” as she reposted Swift’s recent “Cardigan” recap from her Miami performances on The Eras Tour. The term “Sag Queen” alludes to both Minaj’s and Swift’s shared Sagittarius zodiac sign; Minaj celebrates her birthday on December 8, turning 42 this year, while Swift, who will turn 35 on December 13, also falls within the Sagittarius season. This shared astrological bond, hinted at through the “Sag Queen” label, appears to symbolize a continued camaraderie between the two musicians.
This is not the first time Minaj has openly supported Swift or highlighted their astrological connection. In May 2024, Minaj praised Swift’s significant chart success on X (formerly Twitter), again referring to Swift as “Sag Queen.” The history of their mutual support dates back nearly a decade. During the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, when Swift received an award, she gave a notable shout-out to Minaj, calling her “my favorite Sagittarius.” This public acknowledgment marked the beginning of what has since evolved into a relationship of mutual respect.
In 2015, they furthered their bond with an iconic onstage collaboration at the MTV VMAs, performing a medley of Minaj’s “Trini Dem Girls” and Swift’s “Bad Blood.” Since then, both Minaj and Swift have continued to dominate their respective fields. As Swift embarks on her highly successful Eras Tour, Minaj continues to uphold her status as an influential figure in rap. Minaj’s “Sag Queen” reference highlights a unique camaraderie and warmth between two of modern music’s most powerful figures. Their shared December birthdays and Sagittarius traits have become a lighthearted link, celebrated in public displays like this latest post, adding a personal touch to their professional relationship.
