## TikTok Sensation

On TikTok, a remix created by fan Lydia Getachew has generated a buzz, featuring more than 5,300 uses. The full remix was released to great acclaim on SoundCloud earlier this month. Lydia revealed, “My brain immediately heard the drop in Elizabeth Taylor and I was like wait the bass is giving a drop in BSB… lo & behold, Max Martin produced both songs!”

Since its debut, this vibrant remix has been streamed over 270,000 times on SoundCloud and garnered nearly 16,000 likes. The mix intricately blends Swift’s vocals from “Elizabeth Taylor” with the energetic instrumental of “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” showcasing Martin’s undeniable influence.

## Previous Collaborations

This isn’t the first time tracks from the Backstreet Boys and Taylor Swift have been intertwined. In 2017, they engaged in a clever back-and-forth when they merged dialogue from their song “The Call” with a line from Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do.” The Backstreet Boys cheekily remarked, “Look what you made us do, Taylor Swift.”

## Reunion of Icons

The backdrop of these mixes is particularly significant as it coincides with Swift and Martin’s recent collaboration on **The Life of a Showgirl**, marking their first reunion since **Reputation**. Swift expressed that their return stirred a fresh wave of creativity. “By the time we came back together, I feel like we had so much more dexterity to what we do,” she reflected during a podcast, emphasizing the collaborative spirit shared with producer Shellback.
