Social media rumor that Taylor Swift is involved with Lady Gaga's new album has sadly been debunked

Gaga's Nine Inch Nails-indebted album "Mayhem" was released Friday, and social media was flooded with speculations from Swift fans that she was involved in the album. Specifically, the rumors swirled around the song "How Bad Do U Want Me." The postings are abundant, and you can feel free to seek them out. Your free time is your own. Some speculated that Swift secretly wrote the song, while others believed she even contributed backing vocals. Both are the same amount of accurate: Zero.

Both Page Six and the Rolling Stone have done the due diligence and confirmed Swift had no part in the crafting of "How Bad U Want Me" or any song on "Mayhem." As far as internet-generated phenomena stemming from Swift fans, this one is entirely innocuous. Swift and Gaga are on good terms with one another, so Gaga is in the good graces of the Swift lovers who believed their idol played a role in "Mayhem." It was but a brief flitting of a rumor, though a robust one.
