Charlie Puth may not be used to being praised based on his reaction to Taylor Swift giving him a shout out in her hit song “The Tortured Poets Department.”
The 32-year-old singer-songwriter stopped by SiriusXM this week for an interview, where he was asked about his reaction to specific lyrics in “TTPD’s” title track that mention him by name.
In Swift’s hit, she expressed her appreciation for Puth’s talent when she sang: “We declare Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.”
Responding to the dialogue, the “Attention” hitmaker revealed that he really couldn’t believe it at first. He also suggested that Swift may have used an artificial intelligence program when writing the song, which is why his name is mentioned in it.
“That’s a compliment, by the way. I think it’s AI because AI seems to be everywhere,” he said on the radio show before sharing that he sent it to his manager and his manager. Later management also thought the same.

However, when he heard the song itself, he believed that Swift wrote it herself and not some AI technology. “Then I heard a clip of it and thought it was too clever for AI, too clever – the way it rhymed,” he explains.
Puth also shared that he was surprised by the loud screams because Swift did not give him advance notice before releasing the song. However, he admitted that he liked the surprising gesture the pop superstar gave him.
The interview comes nearly a month after the “We Don’t Talk Anymore” singer secretly married Brooke Sansone on September 7 at his family’s Montecito, California residence.

I wanted our wedding to combine tradition with uniqueness,” Brooke explains in an exclusive interview. modern.
