Plies has nothing but love for the ladies, but he recently asked his followers to give him a hand to understand the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift.
The South Florida native took to Instagram on Friday (September 29) to talk about the “Shake It Off” singer and her incredible rise to superstardom. But as much as he appreciated her, as a fellow musician, he couldn’t figure out how she became as big as she did in what, he says, was such a short period of time.

“I don’t want nobody in my comments mad at me, because I don’t mean it in no derogatory way,” he said in the video. “I’m trying to figure out Taylor Swift — how is the motherfucker this big? How? I ain’t never in my motherfuckin’ life!”
He continued: “Besides Michael Jackson, I mean. She got to be the motherfuckin’ Caucasian Michael! Because every motherfuckin’ child I find love them some Taylor!”
Check out his full commentary — with all the Swiftie love in the world — below.
Plies isn’t the only rapper who loves him some Taylor Swift — Ice Spice has recently revealed that she considers the pop superstar her “sis.”
The newcomer teamed up with Taylor in May for the latter’s record-breaking single “Karma.” The ladies soon performed it together when Taylor brought Ice out at one of her New Jersey tour stops, and they then sat together like besties at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
In an interview with Variety published on Thursday (September 28), Ice Spice explained how the collab even happened – and what they talked about as they giggled the night away at the VMAs.
“That’s my sis. We was talking about a bunch of things,” she said. “She’s so funny. We was sipping on a little something something. Just chatting, vibing.”

As for the collab, it happened after Ice expressed her enthusiasm about Swift’s 2020 documentary, Miss Americana, to her team.
“What I took away from Taylor’s documentary is you really do need to work hard, and not everything is going to be as easy as it seems,” she said. “And my manager heard me talking about that and had reached out to her team, and then they had a song for me.”

Taylor Swift had nothing but kind things to say in return, telling Variety:
“I relate to Ice in many ways, but I think her dedication and focus is what blew me away from the very start,” she said. “She’s extremely professional without being cold. Playful and fun without ever taking her eye off the prize. She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”
