Charlie Puth didn’t believe Taylor Swift shout-out was real at first
Charlie Puth still can't believe the Taylor Swift shoutout. In a recent interview, puth declared that he wouldn't be releasing 'Hero' had it not been for Taylor Swift.

Puth is now thanking Swift for her shoutout. As one of his friends told him about the mention, he shared, “My brain immediately went to ‘Oh, like in an interview or something. That’s cool. I love Taylor Swift,’” before adding, "“You smokеd, then ate seven bars of chocolate/We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist” — were AI-generated? “I’m going to wake up tomorrow and it was just a big joke that someone was playing on me because someone thinks I shouldn’t be a bigger artist, so get the biggest artist since the Beatles to say that I should be a bigger artist. Ha ha ha,” He added, “My first thought was like, ‘Wow. She said my name.’ She kind of said it like P-O-O-T-H,” before adding, “And I just cried, dude.”
”It was surreal because it’s never good to look back, but I feel like I could have done things a little differently in the past, but it’s all meant to happen now,” added the singer.
