Taylor Rooks seemingly confirms Drake was referencing their conversation in new track “Supermax”

When Drake surprised fans with his Iceman Episode 1 livestream on July 4, it wasn't just the fresh beats that got people talking, it was also the stories hidden in his lyrics. One unreleased track, thought to be called Supermax, stood out because Drake mentioned a woman named Taylor who gave him support and advice during a night out.

It took no time at all to have fans all over pieces it together, and they have combined the name with someone that can be described as a famous sports broadcaster that goes by the name Taylor Rooks, who is used to having such candid conversations with just about any celebrity but is usually at the other end of the interviewing process.

Soon after the livestream left people guessing, Taylor Rooks spoke out about the lyric herself, accepting Drake dropping her name humorously and classily whilst also correcting people concerning the reality behind it. Her fast and witty reply actually fanned flames of more gossip on the internet, as fans wondered what advice she was talking about, and what exactly occurred that night.

These moments demonstrate the way in which Drake keeps his audience on their toes by incorporating real-life experiences into his music, turning everyday conversations into musical easter eggs. Drake raps in the song that caught everyone's attention:

"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 impromptu shoutout, in the case of Taylor Rooks, was yet another instance of how celebrities tend to become a part of the hip-hop folklore more so than they intend to, dealing with moments in question and approaching them with the same grace with which they tackle their work life.

Taylor Rooks' Instagram story ignites fan frenzy

Less than 24 hours after Drake's Iceman Episode 1 livestream went viral on social media on July 4, Taylor Rooks had already placed herself at the head of the speculations after she published an Instagram Story, which all but announced what thousands of fans had already anticipated.

The hard, dance-filled, warehouse-set live show soon made it to Taylor Rooks' Instagram Story. There, the loved sports writer and host put up a photo with words that echoed the sharp lyric:

"That's what she said to me."

With that post, Taylor Rooks seemingly confirmed that she was linked to that line. This wasn't just any line; it was the same as one from the talked-about song Supermax on Drake's said-to-be next work, where he speaks of a woman named Taylor who gives him tips during a night out.

Taylor Rooks has been alluding to a friendly relationship with Drake over the years, and her post provided fans with even more incentive to think that there may have been something more behind it. The reaction videos, memes, and side-by-side screenshots spread with the speed of wildfire, and you could see how a single Story can turn an entire fandom into loose detectives in a matter of one day.

Old rumors resurface, and new clues emerge

Fans did not waste time to unearth old rumors and make new connections as soon as Taylor Rooks posted her own not-so-subtle Instagram confirmation. Among the names that could be nearly instantly revived was the previous Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, who had been talked about dating Taylor Rooks.

This fact alone was enough to put the speculation machine into overdrive, particularly given that Dorsey had come out in public to support Kendrick Lamar as he engaged in his heated feud with Drake, thus making this story yet another muddy chapter to the tale. Fans started stitching together timelines and screen caps, debating whether past relationships and secular romances were contributing to Drake's new songs at all or not.

In the meantime, the stream of the Iceman Episode 1 itself did not answer more than it prompted questions. The whole event was somewhat like a teaser with the industrial warehouse setting, the dark blue lights, and the mystery branding of the obscure Iceman, providing the situation with a feeling of being just a part of something bigger.

Even the previously unheard songs suggested that Drake might be working in secret on a whole project or surprise mixtape, and the most remarkable aspect of Supermax was its sheer ostentation. Fans researched every lyric, visual signal, and backhanded remark with the hope that there would be a sequel in the near future.

As the rumor mill is fueled by playful confirmation by Taylor Rooks and Drake is going full throttle in his marketing of mystery, the word does not seem to be slowing down yet. To the die-hard fans, it is not even about one lyric or an Instagram Story, it is about the rush of solving what may come ahead and the other people who may yet be sucked into the drama.

Eventually, a barb by Taylor Rooks in her Instagram Story seemingly confirmed all speculations that Drake was even making reference to an actual exchange they had at some point, providing additional fuel to the rumor mill that his Iceman rollout had already been bananas.

Her cheeky caption left them tantalizingly little to speculate over the extent of how strong this connection is, yet much remains unknown. Taylor Rooks' story showed how one can transform one line into the spotlight of the next day and stir a whirlpool of speculations that are hard to go away even after the livestream is over.
