Taylor Swift is paying tribute to a pop legend on her highly anticipated new album, The Life of a Showgirl. The singer-songwriter, 35, has credited the late George Michael as a songwriter on her track “Father Figure,” a nod to Michael’s iconic 1987 hit of the same name. “Do y’all understand how rare it is for Taylor to sample a song,” one user wrote on X. Another added, “George Michael on a Taylor album is the crossover I never saw coming but fully support forever.” A third chimed in, “I’m SO happy, George Michael was a GENIUS! With this album, Swift is proving her knack for merging past and present influences to craft her own narrative.
