Sorry, Swifties — Taylor Swift is not on Beyoncé‘s new album, Cowboy Carter.

Following the release of Queen Bey’s eighth studio album on Friday, fans began speculating Swift provided uncredited background vocals on the track “Bodyguard,” but PEOPLE can confirm that’s not true.

Complete credits for “Bodyguard,” which appears on the album as its eighth track, are not yet available on Beyoncé’s website at the time of publishing.

Swift, 34, and the “Texas Hold ‘Em” musician, 42, have shown each other quite a bit of public support as of late. After both holding massive stadium tours in the United States last summer, the artists attended the premieres for each other’s film versions of the respective concerts: Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.

“She’s the most precious gem of a person — warm and open and funny,” said Swift of Beyoncé in a December interview with Time. “And she’s such a great disrupter of music-industry norms.”

“She taught every artist how to flip the table and challenge archaic business practices,” added the “Karma” singer at the time.
