It is already known to everyone that BTS, in addition to being one of the most influential boy groups in the world, has also captured the attention of many artists who are part of the foreign music industry, even resulting in some collaborations between them.
Knowing this, RECREIO separated five famous singers who have already declared themselves as part of the ARMY; check it out!
1. Chris Martin
The lead singer of the band Coldplay, Chris Martinis one of the singers best known for being a fan of BTS, both for his collaboration with the boy group in “My Universe”, and for a comment he made in a video showing the song’s production process, available on the group’s official channel :
I really like BTS’s music, because firstly it has incredible production, and often very unusual structures and different melodies than the ones I hear… You know, a song like ‘MIC Drop’. It’s not something we could do. So I admire that because it’s a different skill.”
2. Halsey
Halsey He met BTS in 2017, publicly commenting (via Billboard) that he really liked the group. Two years later, in 2019, the singer collaborated with the members on the hit “Boy With Luv”, which has already surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify since its release. Due to the pandemic, the artists were unable to carry out other works together, but Halsey told Cosmopolitan at the time that he would “work with them again a million times.”
3. Taylor Swift
As much as Taylor Swift never collaborated with BTS, she already had the chance to meet the members backstage at the Billboard Music Awards in 2018. The group and Taylor recorded the moment that, later that day, was posted on the singer’s social media with the caption “BTS… It was great meeting you!! You guys are killing it!!”.
4. Steve Aoki
As said by Chris Martin“MIC Drop” has a different melody from other BTS works, and this was only possible thanks to a collaboration with the North American DJ Steve Aoki. In a conversation with the British newspaper Metro in 2019, he praises the work of the boy group and Korean idols in general, saying how impactful Asian culture can be:
That’s the best part, rooting for the boys and then watching them dominate globally. Then you realize they are bigger than the music. It is cultural; something really powerful for Asians around the world… All these Asian kids look up to them and now they have this feeling that they can make an impact. I see them as something much bigger than just the music they make. I am excited and honored to be able to work with them.”
5. Megan Thee Stallion
The rapper Megan Thee Stallion and BTS collaborated for the first time on the remix of “Butter”, released in August 2021, but were unable to meet in person at the time. A month later, the artists finally managed to see each other for the first time, where Megan was happy and surprised to learn that the group knew her work.
Recently, the rapper and RMthe leader of BTScollaborated again on the song “Neva Play”, where they are both teleported to a retro video game; listen and watch the MV!
