Could a new showgirl be heading to Las Vegas?
Taylor Swift has received an open invitation from the Backstreet Boys to join them on stage following the viral success of a mashup between her song ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ and the band’s hit ‘Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)’.
Lydia Getachew’s remix went viral again after AJ McLean shared it on his Instagram, sparking excitement among fans of both artists.
During an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, McLean revealed that after their “Into the Millennium” residency made headlines in July, the Backstreet Boys are adding seven more shows at Sphere Las Vegas for December and January 2026.
When asked who he’d like to see perform there, McLean named Coldplay, Lenny Kravitz and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, adding, “I don’t know if they would ever do it, but I think Taylor [Swift] would absolutely destroy it.”
“She’s a fan, and we’re huge fans of hers,” he continued. “I mean, she’s the sweetest. She’s always been so nice to my daughters that we’ve had the chance to hang out and meet her at her shows. She’s just the best.”
As the viral mashup continues to soar above a million TikTok views, McLean said it would “break the planet” if Swift joined them on stage.
Looking directly into the camera, he added, “Taylor, if you want, come to the show first so you know what’s going on. And then you can figure out if you want to come up with us. We’re not going to say no.”
In October, McLean fueled collaboration rumors by posting a video of himself dancing to the remix with the caption, “Come on, now you know one of us had to do that! @taylorswift!”
Swift replied, “OH HI AJ OH MY GOD,” a response that has since racked up more than 185,000 likes. Getachew also celebrated the moment, writing, “OMG you use my mix JUST MADE MY WEEKEND, thanks for the love!”
