Cooper pressed further about any romantic ties between Cabello and Drake, eliciting a playful reply from the "Havana" singer: "Have I ever experienced what? An inspiring artistic collaboration with him? It's possible."
Cabello described their trip as a bonding journey among friends.
"I hold him in such high regard, and his work greatly influenced my own album's writing process. I felt he would appreciate my music...So, I messaged him, expressing my desire for him to hear my album, believing he'd genuinely enjoy it. Given our musical tastes often align," she shared.
Their meeting led to Drake expressing his fondness for her album.
"Playing my tracks for Drake was an unbelievably surreal experience," she remarked. "It's one of those moments you never anticipate happening. It felt like a dream. He's incredibly gracious and kind."
Cabello added: "Truly, I must admit, I love him. That aspect has been an enjoyable part of this entire experience."

Moreover, Cabello recently shared insights about her forthcoming album — her initial release since 2022's Familia, which remains officially unannounced — in a fresh dialogue with Puss Puss, noting, "I view it as a form of reinvention."
