A post shared on Facebook claims musician Jason Aldean turned down a $500 million music collaboration with fellow musician Taylor Swift.

Verdict: False

The claim was originally posted by a site that self-identifies as satirical. It is a subsidiary of SpaceXMania, which Check Your Fact has debunked several times previously.

Fact Check: 

Swift’s most recent album “The Tortured Poets Department” has broken Spotify records, becoming the first album in the streaming service’s history to surpass 300 million streams in a single day, according to NPR. She also became the most streamed artist in a single day on Spotify, the outlet reported.

A Facebook post claims Aldean turned down a collaboration with Swift. The post shared an image of each of the musicians with text beneath.

The text reads, “Jason Aldean Rejects $500 Million Music Collaboration With Taylor Swift, ‘Her Music Is Bubblegum Crap.'”

The claim is false, however. There are no credible news reports to corroborate the claim. (RELATED: Did Kid Rock And Jason Aldean Drop New York From Their Tour?)

The claim was originally posted to a site called Esspots. It is labeled as satire. The headline reads, “Jason Aldean Rejects $500 Million Music Collaboration With Taylor Swift, ‘Her Music Is Woke, No Thanks.'”

The site’s “About Us” page indicates that it is “a Subsidiary of SpaceXMania.com specializing in Satire and Parody News.” Check Your Fact has debunked SpaceXMania several times previously. 

This is not the first time misinformation involving Swift has gone viral. Check Your Fact previously debunked a claim that she and actor Tom Hanks boycotted the 2024 Oscars.
