According to TMZ, the two are just close friends... and that's it. Despite a social media post containing a throwback photo of the two together, sources told the outlet that there is no potential collab or hidden message in the photo.
Taylor & Drake Are NOT Releasing New Music Together, Sources Say
Although fans will no doubt be disappointed by the news, the source told TMZ that there was absolutely no hidden meaning behind a throwback photo that showed Drake with his arm around the “All Too Well” singer.
Drake had captioned the post, “They too soft to understand the meaning of hard work.”
The pic was rumored to be snapped around 2017 or 2018. According to the source, it was just a simple #TBT post with no hints about a collaboration or Taylor’s yet-to-be-released third re-recorded album.
Still, that didn't mean that fans didn't work tirelessly to try to put the clues together.
