In roughly a month's time, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift unveiled their seventh and eleventh studio albums, respectively: 'Eternal Sunshine' and 'The Tortured Poets Department'. Following these releases, both pop icons continued to surprise fans; Swift expanded her album into a two-volume set, while Grande released a Slightly Deluxe version featuring four additional tracks. Currently, speculation abounds regarding Grande potentially reworking her album for another deluxe edition, with rumors suggesting collaborations with the likes of the ‘Fortnight’ singer. However, fans appear somewhat skeptical about these conjectures.

When Ariana Grande released ‘Eternal Sunshine’ on March 8, the record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, making it her sixth album to reach the milestone. Following the latest speculations, Pop Tingz recently shared the news on X about a potential collaboration between Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, rumored to be produced by Jack Antonoff for Grande's ‘Eternal Sunshine (Deluxe)’ edition. Although this should have had fans in a frenzy, such an event did not occur.

Despite the potential synergy between Grande's ‘Eternal Sunshine’ and Swift's record-breaking ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ which could have easily convinced fans of their joint venture, the absence of confirmation from an authentic source and specifics have left fans more frustrated than expected with the ongoing rumor mill.

Many fans questioned the source of the speculation while some others humorously took a jab at the outlet, asking if Grande and Swift were even aware of such a thing in the first place.

As a result, fans were even more convinced otherwise, noting the lack of any addresses. Hence, although it would have been a one-of-a-kind collaboration for pop enthusiasts, fans have confined it to a dream altogether because of the absence of proper authorization.
