Usher to reunite with Taylor Swift?

The duo has previously graced the stage on two different occasions. First time in 2009, at Z100’s Jingle Ball in New York. Then 2 years later when Swift invited Usher for her Speak Now tour in 2011. Swift’s popularity has overshadowed everything else and her connection to the Chiefs via Travis Kelce. This could be a possible special guest.

“She could be a special guest. I don’t know”, said Usher last year after the announcement. He hasn’t closed the door on this possibility. However, fans have come up with a few other suggestions as well.

The only downside of Usher collaborating with the 12X Grammy winner is that they do not share any songs. Though she has sung the verse of rapper Ludacris in the popular song ‘Yeah!’ when they collaborated last. But Usher’s recent comments do not support Swift’s inclusion.

“Not just R&B music, but R&B performance, R&B connection, R&B spirit”, said Usher recently when talking about the nature of his upcoming performance. This provides ample hints that Usher’s special guest could be someone firmly enshrined in the R&B world.
