ALRIGHT this thread might be a little while to update because i’m trying to get all my thoughts together BUUUT this is why i think that a taylor/ariana collab will happen.... if not for lover..... sometime soon..... maybe ag6??? eh anyways i think it’ll happen lmfao
let’s just start with when ariana & taylor first met. the VS fashion show in 2014! they performed that same night & this was the beginning of their “friendship”
a couple months later, they were at billboard’s women in music event where Taylor, Ariana, Aretha Franklin, Idina Menzel, Jessie J, Charli XCX & Hayley Williams attended.
and then an iconic moment in the swiftie/maybe arianator fam (sksks) was early 2015 when ariana was at taylor’s NYC apartment. still to this day we know nothing of what happened, but they were probably just hanging out, i doubt they actually made any music together lol
taylor & ariana have always supported each other on social media, after ariana being spotted at taylors apartment, they weren’t really seen together but here are some moments (before & after) of taylor reacting to ariana’s tweets
they were also spotted hugging at the 2016 grammys, so they obviously were still friends even if they weren’t spotted hanging out a lot
i’m pretty sure (i don’t make these informative threads often don’t kill me) this was the last time we’ve seen the two interact or see each other for a while... but late last year when taylor announced she was going to republic, someone posted this on tumblr & SHE LIKED IT.
for anyone that doesn’t follow taylor and doesn’t really know much about her little easter eggs: she wouldn’t like this post for no reason. there’s a method to her madness.... why would she like a post acknowledging an ariana collab???
oh i also forgot to mention, THIS IS JUST A RUMOR, i haven’t seen anyone actually debunk it but ya never know, when Manchester happened, there was a rumor going around about how Taylor let Ariana & her family borrow her private plane so that she could make it back to florida-
safely. again this is just a rumor, but if it’s real then taylor obviously cares about ariana (again this was a tragic event so she would have cared anyway). she also shared her condolences on everyone in Manchester after it happened.
i also want to mention that as someone who hardcore stans Taylor and Ariana, i NEVER really thought about them collabing lmfao. i know it’s hard to believe. but when the lover era was about to begin it just made me think it’s possible for it to happen especially bc of the rumors
it wasn’t until ME! came out where taylor was doing some interviews and she hinted at more collaborations on the album. rumors started swirling about a possible ariana collab.
THE ME! MUSIC VIDEO!! a lot of arianators came at taylor for saying how they think taylor “copied” ariana’s videos but i think it’s a clue. Dave Meyers directed ME! & ntltc & his image for videos are generally the same. breathin was directed by hannah luxe davis but some images -
some images were very similar. the first time watching the me! music video, the umbrellas spiked my interest because ariana had that in her video. the clouds in me! are similar to the breathin video. again i don’t think taylor copied ari but i think it could be a clue
i have to reword that last tweet because i’m illiterate anyways, i gotta go for now but i plan on continuing this thread later, crackhead hours will be back in session soon!
HEY IM BACK
so after ME! came out, taylor still wasn’t saying much about lover yet but she just kept hinting at more collabs, so even if lover doesn’t have an ari collab, i definitely don’t think brendon is the only one.

enough about taylor & onto ariana and why i think she’s “slightly” hinting at this. so a few months back at one of the swt vip’s someone asked ariana if she started ag6 yet. and she basically said that we got 2 albums in a short amount of time so we can’t expect another soon lol
buuuut she did say after that more features are coming..... she never really explained when buuut featureS. we obviously know about angel.... but i honestly think there’s more.... so yeah that may be her subtle way of saying a taylor collab is coming
what i thought was interesting and could definitely be a hint was when taylor did her interview for EW & said some of her favorite shows/music etc. an artist she said she loved is Tayla Parx who is literally best friends with ariana.... as soon as i read that, i thought this had-
to be some kind of clue.... am i saying that taylor faked liking tayla’s music to hint at an ari collab? no. buuut she mentioned how she saw she was a songwriter for many popstars.... the biggest pop star she writes with? ariana grande.
the next thing that comes to mind is the you need to calm down music video. we all know the bridge “and we see you over there on the internet, comparing all the girls who are killing it” who is taylor constantly compared to? ariana. beyoncé. gaga. sooo many stars.
literally so iconic to have Tatiana dress up as Ari.
anyways a big moment to me was when ariana acknowledged the video & posted about taylor & tatiana on her ig story & taylor reposted it & i had a mini panic attack at work because of it 




ANOTHER thing to mention about the yntcd music video.... the pink champagne in the beginning! ariana has a song called pink champagne. the only thing about this theory that trips me up is wondering if taylor actually... knows that song.
it’s one of ari’s fetus songs & if any of y’all have been a stan for a while then you’d know ariana DESPISES her old music lmfao. she calls it her cat valentine music lmfao. so i feel like it’d be weird for tay to just put a hint in about that song

but i will say, a lot of people in both fandoms noticed that and think that it could be a potential hint.
another hint about the yntcd video!! taylor’s earrings. i think people have compared pictures of katy wearing the same ones but ariana also has earrings exactly like that, which she’s worn before.
HERES THE THING. i. can’t. find. the. picture. of ariana wearing them
ive literally spent all this time looking for the pic but I KNOW IT EXISTS. anyways.


anyways the last bit of theories that i have for this possible collab is what happened recently. usually ariana hates keeping stuff away from fans..... shes at the point where she kinda likes to talk about it whenever. but if you’ve noticed ariana has been keeping her mouth shut-
about the summer single for a while now.... she won’t really talk much about the music she plans on releasing this summer.... whether it be because she wants everyone to be surprised or because it’s taylors album that she has to be quiet (if there’s actually a collab lol)
just the other day, ariana posted this pic and said “in my videos” meaning while she isn’t touring she’s shooting a lot of things.... assumingly music related.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO MENTION. the day Taylor did her live stream about the archer, she said she was on the set of a music video.... ariana was also filming videos that day.... so..... what if..... it’s the collab....
THE LAST THEORY (for now lmfao) Ariana’s post from today! which i just noticed is deleted from twitter 
anyways ariana is using the archery emoji..... which swifties have been using lately because of the archer. much to think about.


when you think about it...... i know ariana deletes stuff off twitter but i wonder why she deleted the the tweet..... probably my crazy ass assuming a collab lmfao. BUT! WHY! USE! THAT! EMOJI!
also i know that there’s the rumor about the collab being with social house so that could probably be it too..... but idk...... i just..... feel like..... something between the two of them will happen lmfao
and i know y’all think i’m crazy.... the fact that i have a long thread about this..... insane. and if taylor & ariana ever see this..... and it’s not true..... oh boy i’ll be the biggest joke. but yeah! till something else comes along this is why i think a collab could happen!!
hope you don’t mind my crazy ass @taylorswift13 @ArianaGrande
okay this thread is OFFICIALLY done till i find another hint that ruins my life goodnight
ACTUALLY KINDA OBVIOUS BUT NOW THAT TAYLOR AND ARIANA ARE ON THE SAME LABEL I FEEL LIKE A COLLAB IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN THEN IF TAYLOR WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! her & ariana must’ve been recording tun & lover around the same time, idk how labels work but they could have ran into -
each other if they actually went to the label (not studio). idk. just a thought. k now i’m done!
the archer meets boyfriend sksksks
