It's no secret that Billy Eichner is a fan of Taylor Swift's, but in a new interview with Vulture, the Billy on the Street host goes after the "Blank Space" singer in the only way Eichner can—by hilariously making fun of her.
Swift's album, 1989, contains a song called, "Welcome to New York," in which she describes what it feels like to live in the Big Apple. Having moved to the city just last spring, the Red crooner definitely understands life in Manhattan better than anyone—at least that's what Eichner thinks...sarcastically.
"I think no one understands New York the way Taylor Swift does," he tells Vulture. "I think she's just gotten right to the heart of it. Not since Taxi Driver has there been such a perceptive analysis of what it's like to live in Manhattan."
As a reminder, here are a few lyrics from "Welcome to New York."
"Like any great love / It keeps you guessing / Like any real love / It's ever changing..." she sings in the song.
But now that the former country singer has settled down in her Tribeca penthouse, Eichner is hoping to hang out with her so he can finally duet with her on his hit song that he wrote for her.
"I would love to have Taylor Swift on Billy on the Street," he says. "I would do a duet of 'Glitter and Ribs' with her. But I don't want to run around SoHo with her or the Meatpacking District..."
If he doesn't want to frolic with her around some of the city's trendiest areas, where does he want to go with his favorite singer?! Back to the areas of the city that he knows best—he is a New Yorker, after all.
"I'm taking her to the Bronx, to Spanish Harlem. I'm taking her to the depths of Queens, where I grew up, and I'm going to show her what it's really like. I'll bring her on the Staten Island Ferry and leave her there. Then we'll write a whole album about it," he joked.
If you're wondering what an album of Eichner/Swift duets would look like, don't worry—it has some similar themes to her other albums. Eichner, however, manages to take the nonexistent album's message to another level.
"It'll mostly be about how she met someone on the Staten Island Ferry and it didn't work out. And I'm like, 'It's only 20 minutes, Taylor, what did you expect?' But on the ferry, you pass the Statue of Liberty, so if she could get into women, there's that option for her."
