‘Was Taylor Swift on American Idol?’ trend explained
The ‘Was Taylor Swift on American Idol?’ trend has taken over the internet as Swifties are curious whether the singer ever appeared on the show.
Despite rumors circulating that Swift might’ve competed on American Idol, this is not true. Swift has independently made her career and has not participated in the show. On the other hand, the singing competition show has helped launch stars in the music world like Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, and Carrie Underwood.
Although Swift has never been a part of American Idol, she has been on another singing show, The Voice. However, she wasn’t a contestant there either. Swift served as the Mega Mentor in Season 17 of the show and as an advisor in the knockout rounds in Season 7.
Following Katy Perry’s exit from the show as a judge, some sources spoke to the Daily Mail. They claimed that the makers of American Idol were considering having Swift take up the position. A source told the outlet in 2024, “She will be offered the job. That is a long shot.” They further added that the producers are not backing away from keeping Swift as a candidate to take up the position of the judge. The source stated the makers wanted the “best-case scenario” for the show.
However, the show’s producers later selected Carrie Underwood as Perry’s successor.
