Tomorrow X Together are in a lavender haze after crossing paths with Taylor Swift.
The K-pop group—comprised of Yeonjun, Huening Kai, Kang Taehyun, Soobin and Beomgyu—were admittedly starstruck at the recent 2023 MTV video Music Awards, where they took the stage to deliver an electrifying performance of their latest single "Back for More" with Anitta. While they managed to calm their nerves enough to shake hands with Yeonjun's "favorite rapper" Lil Uzi Vert at the celeb-packed award show, they told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview that it was the "Anti-Hero" singer who made them see sparks fly.
In fact, TXT named Taylor as one of their top celebrity crushes.
"Oh yeah!" Huening Kai gushed, while Yeonjun quipped as he formed a heart with his fingers, "Love you!"
As his bandmates nodded in agreement, Yeonjun continued, "She was gorgeous. She was awesome."
And as huge Swifties, the boy band said they're definitely on board with the idea of collaborating with the pop superstar.
"We hope so!" Soobin raved, with Huening Kai adding, "It'll be awesome!"
While only time will tell if TXT x TS will be the endgame, their fans—affectionately dubbed MOA—won't have to chase that feeling of longing for new music any longer. After all, the quartet's third studio album The Name Chapter: Freefall dropped Oct. 13.
Describing it "masterpiece," Huening Kai said he and his bandmates are "very exhilarated" to share their new record in more than two years.
"We always try to present music our generation can relate to," added Yeonjun. "Capturing the story of youth and making the Tomorrow X Together version was the biggest challenge."
However, as Soobin noted, the boys all "share the goal of delivering the same message through music."
Huening Kai gushed, "We have a great teamwork, especially when we perform."
Tomorrow X Together's The Name Chapter: Freefall is out now.
