The Max Martin Musical Universe<\/a> is colliding. On Instagram, AJ McLean shared a video reacting to a fan-made mashup that combined Backstreet Boys\u2019 \u201cEverybody (Backstreet\u2019s Back)\u201d with Taylor Swift\u2019s \u201cElizabeth Taylor.\u201d The mega-mix made its way to Swift, who was tagged in the caption and commented, \u201cOH HI AJ OH MY GOD.\u201d<\/p>\n In the caption of the post, McLean wrote, \u201cCome on now you know one of us had to!\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n On TikTok, the audio created by a fan named Lyd has been used in more than 5,300 videos. A full remix <\/a>was released on Soundcloud earlier this month after the semi-viral snippet was shared with the caption, \u201cMy brain immediately heard the drop in Elizabeth Taylor and I was like wait the bass is giving a drop in BSB\u2026lo&behold, Max Martin produced both songs!\u201d<\/p>\n In the 10 days since Lyd shared the complete remix, the release has been streamed more than 270,000 times on Soundcloud and racked up nearly 16,000 likes. The mix overlays Swift\u2019s vocals on The Life of a Showgirl\u2018<\/a>s \u201cElizabeth Taylor\u201d with the percussive instrumental from \u201cEverybody (Backstreet\u2019s Back).\u201d<\/p>\n It isn\u2019t the first time releases from the Backstreet Boys and Swift have been put in conversation with each other. Back in 2017, the group created a literal conversation when they combined the phone call in their Black & Blue single \u201cThe Call\u201d with the declaration Swift made into the receiver on Reputation\u2018s \u201cLook What You Made Me Do.\u201d \u201cLook what you made us do, Taylor Swift,\u201d the band captioned the post <\/a>at the time.<\/p>\n It\u2019s fitting, then, that The Life of a Showgirl marks the first reunion<\/a> between Swift and Martin since Reputation. \u201cBy the time we came back together, I feel like we had so much more dexterity to what we do,\u201d she said during a podcast appearance. Along with Shellback, she continued, \u201cit felt like all three of us in the room were carrying the same weight as creators.\u201d<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
