She seems to enjoy his music, but then again who doesn’t?
Music fans who tuned in to the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) were treated to the sight of Taylor Swift boogieing on down to a spot of Eminem, and it has their fans thinking.
Eminem’s song ‘Houdini’ picked up gongs for Best Hip-Hop Video and Best Visual Effects while the Queen of the Swifties picked up wins in a whopping seven categories, including Artist of the Year.
Her seven wins make Swift the most decorated artist in VMAs history as her tally of 30 awards across her career has surpassed the 29 won by Beyonce.
Swift had plenty of reasons to be happy on the night, and at one point during the awards ceremony while Eminem was on stage performing his award-winning track ‘Houdini’ the camera spied Taylor in the crowd busting a move or two.
You can probably guess where the minds of some of her fans went, knowing that she is a fine appreciator of the music of Marshall Mathers.

“WE NEED AN EMINEM X TAYLOR SWIFT COLLAB,” was one of the more popular responses to just a few scant seconds of Swift dancing along to the rap music.
Plenty of others liked the sight of their ‘two fave artists vibing’ even as some were trying to imagine how Eminem and Taylor Swift might work together.
More took the opportunity to praise Eminem as the ‘celebrity of celebrities’ as the guy clearly has plenty of star power to wow his musical peers.
Of course there were some people who thought this wasn’t such a good idea after all and declared ‘no we don’t’.
You do have to wonder whether the musical stylings of Taylor Swift and Eminem would fit together like artfully crafted jigsaw pieces or mix about as well as oil and water.

That’s not to say such a collaboration is impossible, when Eminem first burst onto the scene in his younger days few would have predicted that one of his most celebrated songs would have involved a team-up with Dido.
It would take someone more musically minded than myself to figure out how such a collaboration could possibly work beyond the fact that they are two very popular and successful artists.
Perhaps we should just enjoy the moment where one very successful musician is appreciating the music of a fellow legend for what it is and leave it there.
Elsewhere in her life, Taylor Swift recently declared which side her bread is buttered on regarding the US election, as she posted on Instagram that she was backing Kamala Harris and the Democrats.
Swift followed that up on stage at the VMAs by declaring: “If you are over 18, please register to vote for something else that’s very important.”
