Bebe Rexha has sparked a conversation online after she joked that she might ask Taylor Swift to manage her pop career.
Over the weekend, the 36-year-old singer shared a series of self-deprecating posts on X reflecting on her position in the music industry.
The exchange began when Rexha reposted a meme depicting the Grim Reaper unlocking the doors for artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx, Tate McRae and Zara Larsson – a reference to the internet slang ‘Khia Asylum’, which is used to describe pop stars considered overlooked by the mainstream.
“Guys, please help me. It’s so lonely here,” Rexha wrote alongside the image. She followed up the prank with a fake voice memo titled “Khia Asylum Day 3051,” in which she pretended to be physically trapped and forced to run on a treadmill in high heels while others escaped.
During the exchange, Rexha revealed that she is no longer signed to Warner Records and is now working as an independent artist. That revelation prompted fans to offer advice on her next move. One of them suggested asking Taylor Swift to manage her career – a comment to which Rexha simply replied: ‘That’s actually brilliant.’
Rexha and Swift have crossed paths before. In a 2019 interview, Rexha recalled meeting Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards and described the interaction as surreal, saying she was stunned by Swift’s encouragement and found her personally genuine.
