Recently, Rosé graced the cover of UK magazine i-D to promote her upcoming debut album Rosie, set to release in December. With just over two weeks until the album drops, Rosé has already taken over music forums thanks to the six songs she teased with fans during a livestream on November 16.
Fans were left “heartbroken” by the emotional self-composed tracks that explore themes of possessive boyfriends and toxic love, sparking curiosity. Following the success of her mega-hit APT., a collaboration with Bruno Mars, Rosé is expected to continue dominating the music scene with her debut album.
In her interview with i-D, Rosé shared fascinating insights into her songwriting process, the production of her debut album, and her career path as a solo artist. Notably, she also revealed her close friendship with Taylor Swift.
Rosé has long been proud to identify as a devoted fan of Taylor. Their first meeting occurred at the 2022 VMAs. In September 2023, Rosé was spotted leaving Electric Lady Studios after attending an impromptu gathering hosted by Jack Antonoff, Taylor Swift’s long-time music producer. It was here that Rosé once again met her idol, and Taylor shared her personal phone number, offering to help and support Rosé as she navigated her solo career.
“I told Taylor that I was a huge fan and had so many questions for her. She immediately gave me her personal number and told me to call whenever I needed help. She shared her experiences and tried to protect me and my solo career, emphasizing that I need to be independent and not depend on anyone, which isn’t easy. There are many things to be cautious about, and Taylor gave me a detailed summary of things to pay attention to. She’s such a kind person, really wonderful”

The advice Taylor gave Rosé is based on her own experiences in the music industry. As the world’s number one pop star, Taylor Swift has faced numerous challenges that nearly derailed her career, including a public feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in 2016, and losing six of her albums to Scooter Braun in 2019.
Having overcome these obstacles, Taylor Swift successfully revived her career by re-recording her lost albums and became the most successful star of her generation. Therefore, for someone like Rosé, who is at a career crossroads, Taylor’s advice was like a “lifeline.”
Rosé’s fans found comfort in her words, as they revealed that behind the fame, Taylor Swift is a sincere, kind-hearted person who supports other women. Rosé is receiving encouragement from the greatest idol of her life, and her talent continues to captivate audiences. Her debut album also draws inspiration from Taylor Swift’s introspective songwriting style. Their friendship and professional bond have become an admiration for many.
Rosie will include 12 tracks, with a deluxe version adding 3 more songs, scheduled for release on December 6. Rosé will also debut the track Number One Girl on November 22. Fans are eagerly anticipating the new album and are “manifesting” a potential collaboration between Rosé and Taylor Swift.
