Drake Praises Taylor Swift on New Song ‘Red Button’: ‘Only One Could Make Me Drop the Album Just a Little Later’

Ellise Shafer Drake unleashed his inner Swiftie in new song “Red Button,” which sees the rapper praising Taylor Swift. “Red Button,” which released on Thursday night along with Drake’s new project “Scary Hours 3,” features the lyrics: “Taylor Swift the only n—- that I ever rated/ Only one could make me drop the album just a little later/ Rest of y’all, I treat you like you never made it.” Drake and Swift are consistently two of the biggest names in music, and often fight for the top spot on the charts when dropping music around the same time.

This happened last year with the release of Swift’s “Midnights” on Oct. 21. Though Drake and 21 Savage’s joint album “Her Loss” was originally scheduled for Oct.

28, it was eventually delayed to Nov. 4. Swift’s lead “Midnights” single “Anti-Hero” held strong at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, but “Her Loss” overtook “Midnights” on the album chart upon its release.

Despite the competition, Drake and Swift remain friendly, and the rapper even shared a photo with his arms around the pop star in an April 2022 Instagram post.
