Taylor Rooks Addresses If She's The Mystery Woman Drake Mentioned On His New Song
Sports journalist Taylor Rooks has seemingly confirmed herself as the mystery woman referenced by Drake in a new unreleased track that debuted during the rapper's recent livestream event. On Friday (July 4), Drake launched the first episode of his Iceman livestream series, during which he unveiled new songs that have yet to be officially released to the public. In one of the previews, tentatively titled 'Supermax,' Drake delivers a personal lyric about a conversation over drinks with a woman named 'Taylor.' 'I was talking to Taylor over drinks, and it was getting deep/ 'Not everyone can handle this pressure and, in the city, you're the national treasure,' that's what she said to me,' the OVO rap crooner rhymes on the track. Fans quickly began connecting the dots, suggesting the 'Taylor' in question could be Rooks. The sports media personality added fuel to the speculation by sharing a screenshot from the Iceman Episode 1 stream on social media. Her caption quoted the exact lyric from Drake's track: 'That's what she said to me.' The move was widely interpreted as a subtle yet clear acknowledgment of her identity as the woman referenced in the song. Though Drake and Rooks have never publicly detailed the full scope of their relationship, sources close to the situation have described it as a 'strong kinship.' Few other specifics have been made public. Adding an extra layer of intrigue is Jack Dorsey, the former Twitter CEO who Rooks was previously rumored to have dated. Dorsey notably supported Kendrick Lamar during the high-profile rap battle between Kendrick and Drake last year, prompting fans to speculate that his apparent stance may have been influenced by Rooks' connection to the Canadian rapper. While neither party has elaborated further, the lyrical shoutout and Rooks' reaction have reignited public curiosity—and blurred the lines once again between Drake's personal life and his music.
