Have you heard the buzz about who will be the next artist to lend their voice to the iconic James Bond theme song? The excitement is already building for the next installment of the beloved film franchise, even though we don't even know who will be playing the next Bond yet! But that hasn't stopped fans from speculating and betting on who will be chosen to sing the next theme song.
For decades, the James Bond theme song has been just as highly anticipated as each new film. Some of the biggest names in the music industry, from Nancy Sinatra to Sam Smith, have been attached to the theme song, making it a coveted opportunity for any pop legend. And now, the latest rumor is that singing sensation Taylor Swift may be next in line for the gig, which would undoubtedly be a major coup.
After her epic seven-award haul at the VMAs on Wednesday, the odds of Taylor being chosen to sing the next Bond theme song have dropped to just 5/1 with some bookmakers. BetIdeas.com spokesperson Lee Astley even commented on Taylor's newfound chances, saying, "Taylor Swift has been a force to be reckoned with over the past year or so and her triumph at the VMAs last night has her as a brand-new entry in the market to sing the next Bond theme song."
But Taylor isn't the only one in the running. She is right up there with other big names like Harry Styles and Ellie Goulding, according to Lee. With odds of 2/1, Harry is currently the top choice, but Ed Sheeran and Adele, both household names from the UK, are also in the mix with odds of 7/1 and 10/1 respectively.
It seems like the perfect time for Taylor to take on the Bond theme song, as she is at the top of her game and has proven herself as a versatile and talented artist. Plus, the announcement of the next Bond actor may be coming sooner than we think. Entertainment lawyer and co-author of the Bond history book, Ajay Chowdhury, has speculated that the announcement could be made as soon as two months from now. Exciting times for Bond fans, indeed!
The Bond theme song has produced several chart-topping hits over the years, with Sam Smith's "Writing's On the Wall" from Spectre becoming the first Bond song to reach number one on the UK charts in 2015. And just this year, Billie Eilish made history as the first woman to land a UK number one with her Bond theme song, "No Time to Die." Other notable Bond theme songs include Adele's "Skyfall," Madonna's "Die Another Day," and Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill."
As we eagerly await the next Bond film and the announcement of the next Bond actor, the speculation and excitement surrounding who will sing the next theme song continues to build. Who will it be? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, it will be a highly coveted and prestigious opportunity for any artist lucky enough to be chosen.
