Describing Swift as “literally the coolest” and “a girl’s girl,” Rosé shared her admiration for Swift’s generosity and mentorship, particularly as she navigates the challenges of branching out independently in the music industry. “She was telling me to make sure to take care of this, this, and this — like logistics. She was trying to protect me,” Rosé revealed, reflecting on their conversation. “Becoming a solo artist and being independent isn’t easy. There are so many things I need to be cautious about, and she gave me a rundown of everything I should watch out for.”
The BLACKPINK vocalist highlighted Swift’s genuine kindness and willingness to share her industry knowledge, calling it “the coolest part” of their interaction. Despite her legendary career, Rosé noted how Swift, who “has absolutely killed it in the game,” was eager to offer help and guidance.
The mentorship went beyond advice. Rosé revealed that Swift even shared her personal phone number, encouraging her to reach out anytime for further support. “I told her I’m such a huge fan and just had some questions,” Rosé recounted. “As soon as we met, she was like, ‘Spill — let me help you out.’ She shared her experiences and was so ready to help me. She even gave me her number and said, ‘Let me know if you have any questions.’ Who does that? Like, you’re Taylor Swift!”
Rosé is now gearing up to release her debut solo studio album, Rosie, on December 6th. The LP will feature 12 songs, including three bonus tracks on the deluxe edition. Following the success of her smash hit “APT.,” which featured Bruno Mars, fans are eagerly anticipating her next chapter as a solo artist.
