Tate McRae may have just teased a surprise Tate McRae-Morgan Wallen collaboration with a single post—and the internet is running wild with theories. Within minutes of posting a single picture, Tate McRae, the Gen Z pop phenom behind hits like greedy and you broke me first, posted a casual mirror selfie that sent the internet into a theory spiral in search of a Tate McRae-Morgan Wallen collaboration.

The Canadian singer wore a Tennessee Volunteers football jersey with “T8” stamped on the back, and fans were quick to pick up on the symbolism.

The jersey didn’t have a caption. But right near the collar? The subtle but unmistakable initials: “MW.” Which, of course, fans instantly linked to Morgan Wallen, country music’s chart-topping Southern star. Within hours of that picture merely existing X (formerly Twitter) became a crime scene investigation board.


Morgan Wallen’s new album and hints about a first female feature stir more speculation

Here’s where things get more than interesting: Wallen’s upcoming album, I’m the Problem, is set to drop on May 16. Just days ago, he teased that he’d be featuring a female artist for the first time ever. Combine that with McRae’s post, and fans are convinced this isn't just a coincidence—it's a soft launch.

Some fans praised the potential Tate McRae-Morgan Wallen collaboration, prophesying that the music they'd would produce would definitely be a hit. Others were skeptical, however. But that’s the thing with digital easter eggs—they’re built to make noise. Whether it’s a collab or clever marketing, it’s working.

It is no surprise that Tate McRae is not a country artist, but she’s no stranger to heartbreak anthems. Her songs ooze vulnerability, with polished hooks and verses that cut deep, and on the other end, Morgan Wallen? He thrives in raw storytelling, often pulling from small-town memories and past heartbreaks.

Together on the rumoured Tate McRae-Morgan Wallen collaboration, they could create a sound that’s not just genre-blending, but audience-bridging. Think Billie Eilish meets Kacey Musgraves energy. Comfortably vulnerable and gritty. Think Elton and Madonna are coming back.


Why does this kind of PR win every time?
