Grammy-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion has been a Katy Perry fan for years, and her love for the “Teenage Dream” singer runs deep. Once Perry got wind of Megan’s standom, she suggested that the two artists should team up for a special collab.

Megan Thee Stallion sang Katy Perry’s song on Instagram Live

In June 2022, Megan took to Instagram Live to chat with fans while listening to music. At one point, she started playing Katy Perry’s “Thinking of You” from her breakout 2008 album One of the Boys. The song was released as the album’s third single after the smash hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold,” and was followed by “Waking Up in Vegas.”

When one of Megan’s friends questioned the song, Megan stood by her choice. “This is ‘Thinking of You,’ b****,” she said. “”Y’all better m*********in’ respect Katy Perry, b****.” She then grabbed a nearby spray bottle and began belting the chorus into her makeshift microphone.

Katy Perry wants to ‘duet’ with Megan

A fan shared the clip of Megan jamming to Katy Perry on Twitter, and the “Harleys in Hawaii” singer was thrilled to see that Megan is a fan.

“Omg lez duet,” she told the Houston-bred rapper. “I love you Meg THEE Katycat.”

“Thinking of You” is an emotional ballad — not necessarily something up Megan’s musical alley. But given how dedicated of a fan she is, there’s no doubt that the two would create the perfect up-to-date remix of the track.
