Overview
- Swift commented “OH HI AJ OH MY GOD” on McLean’s Instagram video reacting to the mashup, which features her vocals over Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody.”
- The audio originated from a fan creator known as Lyd, whose full remix has topped 270,000 streams on SoundCloud and has been used in more than 5,300 TikTok posts.
- At the time of reporting, McLean’s Instagram post surpassed 2.1 million views and Swift’s comment drew over 89,000 likes.
- Fans flooded the comments urging an authorized collaboration, but neither Swift nor the Backstreet Boys has announced an official remix.
- The exchange drew extra attention because Swift has engaged sparingly on social media recently, as McLean concurrently promotes a Nov. 27 EP and the Backstreet Boys extend their Sphere residency.
