Recently, i-D magazine introduced singer Rose (Blackpink) as its latest cover star.
In an interview with i-D, Rose shared about the production process of her solo album rosie and the messages she sent. Notably, the Blackpink member mentioned American female artist Taylor Swift.
Rose revealed that in the process of building her solo career and composing new songs, she was helped by Taylor Swift.
I said I was a huge fan of hers, and I had some questions. As soon as she met me, she said, let me help you.
She shared her experiences with me and was very willing to help me. She gave me her number and said, Let me know if you have any questions.
I was really grateful to her during the time I was a little weak. She is a wonderful person, truly the girl of every girl. She advised me, make sure about this, that, and that, be very careful.
She tried so hard to protect me. When I was single and became independent, it was not easy. There were so many things I had to be careful about, and she showed me all the things I needed to pay attention to. It was the best thing, she was good at it and was very kind to guide me through it, Rose shared. The relationship between Taylor Swift and Rose attracted attention last September, when Rose was spotted leaving the Electric Lady Studios studio at the same time as Taylor, during a business trip to New York, USA.
International media revealed that it was Taylor Swift's New album launch and preview party, with the participation of Rose and some artists close to Taylor such as Hayley Williams, Sabrina Carpenter, Cara Delevingne, Gracie Abrams, Sadie Sink, Margaret Qualley, Karen Elson, Jack Antonoff...
In early February this year, Rose went to see Taylor's The Eras Tour concert in Tokyo, Japan. She was seated in a seat reserved for special guests. The Kpop star excitedly captured the moment of enthusiastically cheering for Taylor as a true fan.
In April, Rose showed off on her personal page that she had received a gift from Taylor Swift, which was the album "The Tortured Poets Department" that the female singer had just released.
Along with the album, Taylor Swift wrote a handwritten letter to Rose: To my members in The Tortured Poets Department. This is my little corner of gratitude to you, for your support, sincerely. I hope you will welcome this album into your life.
Rose also responded and expressed her emotion with the meaningful gift: Thank you Taylor Swift, Im about to cry.
Paper magazine commented that Rose's upcoming album "rosie" is "a pop album with Swift-style intimate storytelling nuances."
The album will officially be released on December 6, 2024.
