Some fans hopes that it would lead to Charlie Puth’s resurgence, while some others opined that he finally got the recognition he deserves because of Swift. “If anything comes from TTPD, I hope it’s a Charlie Puth resurgence,” one fan commented.
“Not Charlie puth trending,” one fan commented. “”We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist” FACTS,” another quipped. “CHARLIE PUTH mention is a Jumpscare,” one more fan added.
Charlie Puth has always been openly appreciative of Taylor Swift, often covering her songs during his performances. “This is why she’s such a genius, man,” he once exclaimed while playing her early hit ‘Teardrops on My Guitar‘ in 2021. “These are the chord changes. It’s wonderful. I think it’s wonderful,” he said at the time.
