Two months ago, we were talking about how Drake was totally and completely in love with Rihanna and how he wanted to marry her and get lots of tattoos celebrating their love. Unfortunately for all of us, Drake and Rihanna had some kind of falling out earlier this month and it doesn’t look like they’ll get back together… anytime soon. They’ll probably be back together by Christmas though, let’s face it. Still, Drake and Rihanna’s split happened just about a month after Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s split. Coincidence?!? Probably. But isn’t it interesting that two super-famous musical stars are single at the same time? Not only that, but isn’t it interesting that Tay-Tay flew back to LA immediately after her Austin, Texas concert just so she could attend Drake’s big 30th birthday bash? New York Mag thinks it’s suspicious! Especially since Tay-Tay came to Drake’s party knowing that she could possibly run into Madame Bad Blood herself, Katy Perry, not to mention “Dear John” Mayer. Taylor still went to the party and she ended up spending a lot of time with Drake.
Drake celebrated his 30th birthday at LA hotspot Delilah on Sunday with starry guests including “Bad Blood” exes Taylor Swift and John Mayer.
“The tension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife,” a spy told us. Mayer’s other ex Katy Perry also attended, and sources told us she and Swift completely avoided each other.
“They were put on opposite sides of the room and didn’t even look at each other. Taylor came through the front door with Karlie Kloss and the Haim sisters while Perry entered through the back with a gang of friends, who were inappropriately dressed for the formal affair. Katy and John chatted, but Taylor avoided both of them,” a spy said.
Guests noshed on dinner from Carbone and sipped Virginia Black whiskey cocktails. We’re told after the dinner, Drake joined Swift in her booth, where they “were intimately flirting, talking closely and laughing. The only person he spent more time with other than his mom was Taylor,” the source said.
Other outlets insist that Drake spent the most time with his mom, although it is notable that Taylor did make such a point of attending his party AND that Drake and Taylor spent so much time together at the party. Which brings me to a series of questions. How does a guy go from Rihanna to Taylor Swift? Are there men who are attracted to both Rihanna and Taylor Swift? How badly does Drake want to be in all of the gossip columns? And finally: is this really happening? TELL ME IT’S NOT HAPPENING. I would not know what to do if Tay + Drizzy really happened.

…. Was it Rihanna’s decision, the last time they split? Is this the ultimate retaliation? lol
If I were Rihanna I would find it impossible to forgive…
I can see *Taylor* thinking of this as the ultimate retaliation against Rihanna not giving a damn about being Taylor’s personal fashion accessory / friend. 😀
But I think Rhianna would mostly look at the situation and go, “Hmm. Drake, you’re making poor decisions,” and then never think about it again.
Good point. I think one of the many cool things about Rihanna is that she is always able to look like she has no f*cks to give in every situation.
Men will slept with anyone regardless of their type
Some women do the same. Not that I’m implying Taylor would though….lol
That is an unfair generalization.
I meant to put my comment\reply below not here.
Most attractive men will sleep with attractive women regardless of their type. And I’ve seen a lot of regular looking average Joes who will sleep with almost any woman who is willing. Sure, it’s a generalization but there is a lot of truth to it.
Are you saying that Drake is attractive? Seriously, if it’s true I must be missing something because it’s just so…
I don’t agree.
Men are thinking, feeling creatures that are unfairly categorized as sleeping with whomever because of their gender.
How is that not discrimination?
#misandry
This ignorant and outmoded mindset allows women to remain victims
What’s empowering about that?
@M16 Because a lot, if not most, men do bang almost anything that moves that has boobs. If they didn’t groupies wouldn’t exist. Trust me I’m a guy. I think I would know and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
Yeah, I agree. I think more men than women would sleep with a person not as attractive as themselves, although there’s always exceptions.
Not just groupies. Prostitution wouldn’t exist either. The vast majority of people who pay for sex with strangers are men. Very few women participate as buyers in the sex trade.
@Anthony: maybe you’re the rule and not the exception.
@Kibbles: what about giggilos? They don’t exist?
There are male hookers. Just because it isn’t talked about doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
#breakthestereotype
#doublestandard
or…Drake is gay and she’s a pro-beard.
but, whatever.
^^^THIS^^^ Plus Karlie, Taylor’s Boo was at the party as well.
LEAVE AUBREY ALONE. HELL NO. NO. IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE, TAYLOR?! You won’t even let us have DRAKE?!? NO.
Also, look at his face in that picture where she’s hugging him, lol. That is not the face of attraction.
Also, of course Taylor has to post a picture of herself going to someone else’s birthday party.
That photo is HILARIOUS. There is both fear and confusion on his face. That let’s me know he’s thinking two things:
1 – Who is this white girl?
2 – It doesn’t even matter, man. Keep yourself together. Don’t hug too tightly. Let everyone know this is all legit. Racism is real. #BlackLivesMatter
LMAO!
Lma fckin’ o
This post is everything I need today.
Ah see, I thought it was more like:
‘What is that I smell… Is that what lop-eared kitten farts and vengeance smells like?’
or
If I squeeze too hard will all the malice come out like toothpaste?
or
F*ck Robyn is gonna kill me when she sees this pic
Yours is funnier because its probably the truth.
@HH
the 2 point of your comment was very unnecessary …..has BLM become a laughing stock??
@HH – Nope. I’m wholeheartedly support BLM. That satire of a VERY real issue.
If this happens I will have to re evaluate everything about Drake.
EVERYTHING.
Although I’m thinking its OK. In that hugging pic it looks like she smells weird or something.
Detritus -I just had to reply to say your comment about the malice being squeezed out like toothpaste made my day!! So funny and so true! 😀 xx
There Is no way this would happen. Not only is she not his type but drake could kiss the cred he has in the rap community goodbye. The rap community already thinks he’s soft dating Taylor would be the kiss of death
Drake likes ’em with big butts (which is why I think he really is in love with Rih-she’s not stacked like that). He’s known to “date” exotic dancers with assets when he’s not with Rihanna. He likely thinks Taylor is like a walking-stick bug.
I once had a friend post a picture of my holiday as if it were his. I was staying at this lovely hotel in his part of the world and invited him over for a catch up. Next time I look at Facebook there are a bunch of pics of my vacay as if it was his. LMAO at the sadness. I’ve learned a lot about people I thought I liked on Facebook.
Social media and the way people use it is so very telling, eh?
It’s like Drake’s party was just an excuse for her to post a picture in hot outfit, because that’s all it is. No mention of Drake or his birthday at all.
Grrr. I’m po’d on your behalf. I had a friend in college try to co-opt my life so anytime I read or hear about similar doings it really sticks in my craw.
Wheelchair Jimmy..
Have never seen the attraction. The ears ruin it. And the dopey face! 😀
Stop being ridiculous. They’ve been friendly before. They’re both Apple artists. Of course she was going to his party. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Although I do wonder at what point in time Kanye plans to go on a rant about how his supposed friend, Drake, would invite Taylor Swift to his birthday party. You know it’s coming folks.
A) Gossip Cop debunked this story days ago.
B) it is possible for a male and female to be friends/aquaintences without it being a romance; and
C) I think it is more likely a case of Tay Tay selling the whole “Katy and John were also invited to this party, but look, the birthday boy spent more time with me so I am more popular and he must like me more” kind of thing.
Also, is it possible to hug Taylor Swift and NOT look awkward af? Because I’ve never seen anyone pull it off.
Tall girl problem. Lots of long limbs to contend with. Sometimes I feel like I could wrap my arms around my friends twice, haha
That’s a pretty platonic looking hug.
So we should have a photoshoot, I mean invasive pap photos that neither of them arranged beforehand, of her meeting Drake’s parents soon, yes?
I would love this to be true but goddamn… I pity the woman who comes after Rihanna.
I see no attraction. In fact, Drake looks a bit broken-hearted to me…
Right?!?!
How do you go from, “She may be the queen of hearts but imma be the queen of your body parts”
To, “she wears high heels I wear sneakers, she’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers”
?!?!?
This sounds like Taylor’s people wrote it because they had to get in a dig at Katy. I don’t see Drake going from Rihanna and his Instagram girls to TS. She’s trying to get people talking.
I agree. She hasn’t been photographed with a man since Hiddles and she’s been missing the attention. At least that’s what I hope is happening here. If not, run Drake, run!
Or Taylor’s people wrote it because every man wants to be with Taylor, believe them, they swear!
Yeah, you mean that bit about being dressed inappropriately? They can’t help themselves, can they…
seems like she would swoop in on a guy who just had a fallout with a great love of his life (rihanna) and so he’ll take the bait, they’ll date, she’ll get intense about it quickly, he won’t be as into it, they’ll break up, she writes an album about it.
bam.
But, MissMerry, we’re still waiting for the Hiddles breakup album. I don’t think she can write that fast. (rolls eyes)
Don’t think he is Swifty’s type
I ship this purely so that Rihanna can shade tf out of her.
That picture of them hugging looks like his old Aunt Mavis (smells like moth balls), who he hasn’t seen since he was 2 asked him for a hug when she visited from out of town.
This made my day!!! Loooollllll
She looks like his evil stepmother.
this gave me a very much needed BROAD smile this morning.
Now that you’ve said it I’ll never be able to unsee it!! 🙂 🙂
Are there men who are attracted to both Rihanna and Taylor Swift?
YES. they’re called MEN
Human beings ARE capable of falling in love with two people at the same time. Please don’t make it a gender-linked issue.
Oh please. There is no way that she is dating or even considering going out with Drake’s Cakes. He, to prevent my black behind from getting in too much trouble here, is not her type. Like at all. Just go back and look at all of her previous attachments and you will see a pattern with her.
It is too early in the morning to post my cynical take on what she is doing.
No, please, be cynical! We eat cynicism for breakfast here 🙂
@Aiobhan
I think I’m getting a similar impression.
There a whiff of her trying to make Hiddles and Calvin-steal-someone-elses-name-for-publicity jealous and be ‘cooler’ than Katy by dating a black man.
Someone yell at me if that’s too far.
Well not Just a black man, a man who is seen as talented and funny therefore cool
Yes, for sure. Not just anyone, he would have to be famous, talented, and approachable enough to her audience. Drake is perfect for that.
I’m thinking in machiavellian terms, also my tinfoil hat is firmly on. Who else would give her a career boost?
She can’t go country, already been done. She’s already done the EDM boy, and the popstar AND the heritage politico underager. I think she even tried to go Rock N Roll with the brief thing with the Take Me to Church dude. That leaves hiphop and R&B. Kims locked down Kanye, Legend is with Chrissy, Frank Ocean is not getting with her and I can’t think of any mini van majority pleasing others. Athletes generally have too short a shelf life and too much ego. So Drake?
With all her arranged relationships I doubt it’s about any chemistry or physical attraction. Drake is the cool guy of the moment without being too hardcore rapper like so I imagine that she would latch onto him to help her image. He would make her look a lot cooler. But I don’t think it would be in his interest at all to date her. And while men don’t really have types I would find it weird to see them together. I imagine he goes for voluptuous types like Rihanna who sort of radiate sexuality and confidence. He would get bored of Taylor Swift so quickly cause she looks very asexual to me. As in she’s a good looking woman but I find it a bit cringe when she tries to be sexy cause her personality is anything but and she just doesn’t have that confidence and ease. She’s like the typical 60’s housewife to me personally. Very prim but also very rigid and everything about her just seems so fake and pre planned.
@ LiterallyaShambles lol.
Detritus stated pretty much how I feel about what she is doing. I also believe that she is still trying to prove that she is not a racist hypocritical troll by getting papped going to parties where black rappers are at or hosting. Taking photos with Drake and many other black men who are not Kanye. As if doing these things is just enough to prove that she can tolerate being around other races by taking photos with said other people and having a ten-second convo that neither one of them will remember having a day or two later.
Agreed Aiobhan Targaryen about her photo ops with black artists.
But I think Drake and her are not that bad of a match. He strikes me as someone who could relate to her culturally even if they are in different music genres. I think that they could play the PR game well together.
This could really help her with the Kanye fallout.
@sanders
Creatively it may work in the long run as they would put all their time to writing new songs, but emotionally and PR wise it could be a toss up. He seems to be a commitment-phobe who puts women on pedastals. She just wants to appear as if she is the eternal popular HS girl that everyone wants to be around -even though she is fast approaching 30. It would end even worse than Hiddleswift.
Plus, seeing interracial relationships out in public bring out the worst in some people from all sides. Taylor is a brand and is all about her money; she would never risk that for a fling or short term relationship with a black dude or any man of color.
I hope it’s true. People would loose their s h I t.
Pkease. This is either an Apple merger or a weak attempt at making Rhianna jealous 😅
Or both.
Drake looked more excited about kissing Madonna.
This girl has zero shame. This is all her PR to generate buzz ahead of her new album and to make her look slightly less white. #fail
Third option: she’s still trying to get Calvin’s attention after performing “their” song last weekend…
There is no WAY any guy goes from Riri to TayTay. #downgrade
She is five more years of Botox away from becoming Nicole Kidman.
You ain’t even kiddin’! She looks so different from 5 years ago when her face was full, her eyes are squinty-er and her boobs weren’t noticeable.
She’s gonna age like Madonna, in think.
There is no way Drake and Taylor are dating. There is no chemistry between them. She is not his type. Drake likes his women more voluptuous, more filled out. I don’t think that she is attracted to ethnic men either it seems to me.
Im Gonna self reference cause this is a Discussion I had I Least two Years Back, same pic and everything ! https://www.instagram.com/p/i3-wsponkf/?taken-by=qqbeans&hl=en And I 100% stand By: Trash Buffet Music
slow clap
Lmao… bravo QQbeans.
Also, your hair/makeup/nail/shoe/existence game is on point.
Holler at me so I know it’s real Shambles
I mean, it’s a brilliant play. If she pulls it off, I will have to hand it to the evil ice queen, in all her glory.
besides the fact that it will completely rebrand her image, think of the break up albums from both of them.
The guys from Bodega Boys said a MONTH Ago Watch her come for the Rappers, It’ll start soft dude like “a finger in the B*tt… a gateway drug if you would… say G-Eazy but the final guy will be YG” I hated them for that then.. Now it’s truly gonna happen and I’m terrified
QQ you are so pretty. Also giving me Janet Jackson vibes.
LOL Thanks Boo! #OriginalNoseIntactThough!
The photos remind me of Miranda Kerr and her soon to be groom at the airport, zero chemistry.
I kinda think Drake maybe isn’t so into white women, I’m pretty sure he has always dated black women, so gonna say Taylor is not making the cut. My guess is there is a musical collaboration coming up
Look at all the explosive chemistry they have in the hugging photo. *eye roll*
Taylor tries so hard to be sexy, bless her. Fails every time. I think she stole that outfit straight from Kim kardashians closet.
Agree. I think she’s pretty enough, cute figure. But when she tries to be sexy, especially her dancing, oohh it makes me cringe. She is cute, but not sexy, yet she tries so hard to be something that will never be.
The pics of her in the tube top are from the party. The blue dress ones (including hug) must be from another time?
2013
I don’t know why it’s so impossible that he would like her and be attracted to her after Rihanna? Rihanna’s maybe a little prettier in the face and has a different body. Taylor is still fit and pretty. The atrippers drake has been said to date are probably even hotter than both or these ladies. Rihanna’s main appeal is a kind of natural charms and coolness. But Taylor seems smart and funny enough and even if she wasn’t, as we know men often go for someone younger and simple after being broken-hearted. Rihanna doesn’t seem like the be all end all of personalities despite her style and charms. Remember the racist Asian thing against katreuche.?
The picture of them hugging is from a few years ago at an awards show–it’s not from this birthday party…
Also, celebrities always invite business-related people to their parties—he invited all his “work friends”, so it’s not unusual that she was there. She’s a big force in the music business. However, I don’t believe they are collaborating the way he did with Rihanna, but I can see that she might be contributing to the writing of a song instead, like she did with Calvin Harris.
I also don’t understand why people are annoyed that she posted a photo of herself dressed up for his party. Famous people post up photos of themselves going to different events all the time (without the host of that event). For example, I love Chrissy Teigen and follow her on instagram, but she posts photos of herself dressed up going to different events all the time. Same with maaaany other celebs… Why all the hate because Taylor did it too?
Don’t get me wrong, Taylor’s persona is so contrived she annoys me to no end, but let’s not go overboard in bashing her for the things that famous AND non-famous people do on social media… Some of my friends do the same thing. If they think they are looking spectacular on a particular day, you KNOW they’re going to be posting up a photo! And they’re definitely NOT famous, lol.
Not everyone has an overactive PR machine that pushes these rumors with a vengeance.
I don’t think so. I mean Drake is just a flirty type of guy. He was at a wedding in a small town in Canada on Saturday and walked out with the bride ! It was a cute moment and nothing happened but it was funny. That’s just the type of guy he is. Him and Taylor won’t happen…she’s not even his type and I don’t think he’s her type either.
Nope. How could you go from Rihanna to Taylor? I do not see this happening at all. I think this is made up wishful thinking from Taylor’s team.
Kind of a downgrade, but Jimmy isn’t much to look at himself.
You guys are sooo funny! If, huge if, is to happen. And sooooo it begins?
They could just be friends in the industry, who knows. It would be interesting to see it work out. Frankly, I’ll be glad to see Drake move on from Rihanna. That relationship dragged on way too long for both of them.
Maybe he’s got nothing to do in the next three months and can date her. And she already met his Mom so check that off the list. Canadians are kinda like Brits, right?
Seriously though, she probably wants him to sing on her album.
She’s dressed to kill here, even if she threw a cardigan cape thing over it. Are those fake tattoos on her new boobs?
If they couple up, and it’s not for song, then i would start believing his gay rumors….never believed rhirhi story.
Ms. Aryan Goddess and a black jewish man? Say it ain’t so.
Sixer and Lilac flowers, what kind of photo ops would be staged. Good girl gone kinda bad y’all! Oh this is gonna happen…
Dang a girl can’t even get dressed up to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of her debut album without getting killed for it…
“..who were inappropriately dressed..” sounds like camp Tay. Anyway, I hope they won’t happen!
Also,where is Orly in all of this?
No! Hell no!! Just…no! He would never. Also he’s talked about his type before & she ain’t it. Not even close. They’re friends in the industry.
Taylor is hot AF. Of course Drake wants some of that.
Hmmmm….I always thought he was gay so if she’s going to continue to beard AND wants us all to know that she’s turning down the White Supremacist invite to be their Aryan Princess, then this pairing makes total sense.
Nah. It’s more likely that Swifts people are putting this spin on things in their ongoing Taylor Has Totally Moved On- Lets Collectively Forget Her Lying/Stage 5 Clinger Tendencies Okay? campaign. Plus she seems like the type to completely monopolize someones time at their own party, no less.
