Rapper T.I. confirms Taylor Swift and B.o.B. collaboration

Rapper T.I. has confirmed that his Grand Hustle signing B.o.B. and country star Taylor Swift have worked together on a new track.

The 31-year-old, real name Clifford Harris, confirmed the news in an interview with Fuse at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, after B.o.B. initially refused to comment on the rumours:

“I heard it. Taylor’s extended Hustle Gang. She a part of the crew. She just ain’t got her dog tags yet, but she’s a part of the crew, though.”

The ‘Nothin’ On You’ hit-maker then opened up, revealing that it was Swift who instigated the collaboration:

“She came to Atlanta and she hit up Grand Hustle. I wasn’t there, T.I. was, but I eventually linked with her in Dallas and the rest is history.”

Swift, who has previously teamed up with the likes of The Civil Wars, John Mayer and Boys Like Girls, has already had experience of working with the pair. B.o.B joined her on the Dallas leg of her 'Speak Now' tour on a duet of his number one single, ‘Airplanes,’ while T.I. turned up at her Atlanta show to perform his hit, ‘Live Your Life.’

The song will feature on B.o.B.'s second album, 'Strange Clouds,' which is scheduled for release on May 1.
