Taylor Swift <\/strong><\/a>is tipping her hat to the late, great George Michael<\/strong><\/a> on her upcoming album “The Life of a Showgirl” with a track called “Father Figure” — and the icon\u2019s former partner says George would\u2019ve totally approved of it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

Kenny Goss<\/strong> — George\u2019s partner of 13 years — tells TMZ George would be proud of the tribute, which isn’t a straight sample, but an interpolation<\/strong><\/a> … meaning you\u2019ll hear the melody of his ’87 classic woven into Taylor\u2019s track.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Kenny tells us George never met Taylor, but he\u2019s pretty sure the icon would\u2019ve been a fan — and would\u2019ve appreciated someone of her caliber taking an interest in his work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Kenny’s personally a fan of Taylor\u2019s music, and while he had no idea she was interpolating the song, it was a welcome surprise — and he\u2019s glad she\u2019s doing this for George, who had a big hit with “Father Figure.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Kenny first met George in 1988, and the two were together for over a decade before splitting in 2009, reportedly due to their shared struggles with addiction. George passed away years later, on Christmas Day 2016.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

All these years later, Kenny\u2019s got a brand-new way to remember George — and it\u2019s coming with Taylor\u2019s album drop on October 3 … cue the waterworks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
