Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean has extended a public invitation to Taylor Swift to join the iconic pop group on stage during their Las Vegas residency at the Sphere. The proposal emerged amid viral fan enthusiasm following a trending mashup of Swift’s and the Backstreet Boys’ hits. McLean told TMZ that a collaboration between the two pop powerhouses would be “unforgettable” and could “break the planet.”
McLean made the offer during an interview discussing potential guest performers for the Backstreet Boys’ acclaimed Las Vegas residency.
He named several major artists but emphasized that Taylor Swift was his top choice. McLean described Swift as “the sweetest” and “the best,” praising her kindness toward his daughters.
The Backstreet Boys’ current Sphere Las Vegas shows have drawn global attention, and the group recently announced additional 2025 dates, giving Swift an open window to participate. The invitation follows a viral TikTok mashup combining Swift’s “Elizabeth Taylor” and the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” which has surpassed one million views.
Speaking to TMZ, McLean shared that Taylor Swift has long admired the Backstreet Boys, and the feeling is mutual.
“She’s always been so kind to my girls,” McLean said. “She’s the sweetest, the best, and such a class act.”
Fans have taken to social media platforms like X and TikTok to rally behind the idea, using hashtags such as #SwiftStreetCollab and #BackstreetSphere. Many expressed hope that Swift would appear as a surprise guest during an upcoming Las Vegas show.
If Taylor Swift joins the Backstreet Boys on stage, the crossover could mark one of pop music’s most memorable live collaborations.
The combined fanbases — spanning multiple generations — would create a massive global buzz. Analysts suggest that a Swift appearance could spike both ticket sales and social media engagement for the residency.
Pop industry commentators have compared the potential collaboration to major halftime show moments, noting its likely dominance across digital charts and news cycles.
The Backstreet Boys’ new residency schedule extends through late 2025, offering ample opportunity for a special guest appearance.
As of now, Taylor Swift has not publicly responded to McLean’s invitation.
Whether the pop superstar accepts remains to be seen, but anticipation continues to build among fans worldwide.
