50 Cent is happy to get a little shout-out from Taylor Swift. On Friday, hours after Swift released The Life of a Showgirl<\/a><\/em>, the rapper shared his excitement over the pop queen mentioning his name on \u201cRuin the Friendship,\u201d Track Six on her new album.<\/p>\n \u201c@taylorswift shit is popping right now, she shout me out, she don\u2019t shout you out,\u201d 50 Cent wrote on Instagram, posting the album\u2019s cover to his Instagram feed. \u201cLOL THIS IS FOR BIG TIMERS ONLY!\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n He added: \u201cWait I\u2019m the only shout out on the whole album.\u201d<\/p>\n On the song, Swift looks back on a teenage romance and the regret of not kissing someone despite knowing it would\u2019ve been worth the risk. \u201cAnd it was not an invitation\/But as the 50 C\u0435nt song played\/Should\u2019ve kissed you anyway,\u201d she sings on the track looking back at prom night. \u201cAnd it was not convenient, no\/Would\u2019ve been the best mistake\/Should\u2019ve kissed you anyway, hey.\u201d<\/p>\n While Swift has not explained the meaning or inspiration behind the song \u201cRuin the Friendship,\u201d fans have speculated that the track is about a boy named Jeffrey Lang, whom Swift has spoken about being close to while they went to Hendersonville High School. Lang died at age 21 in November 2010.<\/p>\n \u201cYesterday, I sang at the funeral of one of my best friends,\u201d she said at the 2010 BMI Country Music Awards<\/a> shortly after his death. \u201cAnd he was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first. So I would like to thank Jeff Lang.\u201d<\/p>\n 50 Cent isn\u2019t actually the only shout-out on the album, however. Elsewhere on the LP, \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d is titled after the glamorous Hollywood icon of the 1950s, Swift mentions Spanish soccer team Real Madrid on \u201cWi$h Li$t,\u201d and the star seemingly dedicated an entire song to Charli XCX, titled \u201cActually Romantic<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
