Raye Spills The Tea On Advice From Taylor Swift At Iheartradio Awards

Raye’s Admiration for Taylor Swift Shines Bright

Raye has never been shy about her admiration for pop powerhouse Taylor Swift, and this year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, she got to share her excitement on the red carpet. The "Escapism" hitmaker was all smiles as she spoke with Tetris Kelly, revealing that she received some "tea and tips" from Swift herself.

On the red carpet, Raye, who's been riding high on the success of her track "WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!", expressed her gratitude for the support she's received for her music. She wasn't shy about her anticipation of seeing the "Opalite" singer, hinting at some "beautiful conversations" they've had previously.

“I’ve had the pleasure of having a couple of beautiful conversations with her, and I really, really like her. She is really, really lovely,” Raye shared with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.

Tea and Tips from One Icon to Another

When it comes to taking advice, Raye knows she's in good company. At the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, she opened up about her budding relationship with Taylor Swift and the helpful advice she has received. When asked by Tetris Kelly who she was most excited to run into, her answer was simple: "Taylor."

Raye revealed she sought out Swift's wisdom on two pressing matters – her epic three-hour performances and her famously perfect red lipstick. "She has a three-hour show, which is insane! I was like, 'How do you do it?'” Raye remarked, clearly in awe of Swift’s stamina and stage presence.

Perfecting the Art of Lipstick and Performance

The British singer-songwriter didn’t stop there. She also picked Swift's brain about how she keeps her red lipstick flawless, sharing, “The problem is when I sing, mine goes all over my face. So I was like, ‘How do you do it?’ She’s given me some tips.”

Raye’s interaction with Taylor Swift clearly made an impact on her, as she continues to sing praises of the pop sensation both on and off the stage. With this newfound wisdom, it’s safe to say Raye is ready to take her performances and style up a notch in true SoCal fashion.
