At South by Southwest, Esteban caught up with T.I., who confirmed that B.o.B has in fact collaborated with Taylor Swift on B.o.B's upcoming sophomore album STRANGE CLOUDS!

“Taylor’s extended Hustle game, she a part of the crew,” T.I. said.

B.o.B explained that Taylor—who joined him onstage last October in Dallas—actually approached them first.

“She came to Atlanta and she hit up Grand Hustle,” B.o.B said. “I wasn’t there, T.I. was, but I eventually linked with her in Dallas and the rest is history.”

T.I. also explained why he signed the North Carolina MC in the first place. “He has a very cool UFO he let me ride in. He said if I signed him he would let me ride passenger side with no seatbelt.” - FUSE
