Hollywood loves a good rumor, and this week the spotlight has landed on rapper Spencer Groves and pop superstar Tate McRae.
The buzz started after fans noticed some “interesting coincidences” online: McRae has been posting late-night studio shots with no collaborators tagged, while Groves has been teasing new music around the same time. No one has spotted the two together, but the internet doesn’t need photos to spin a story.
The timing has only added fuel to the fire. McRae recently split from rapper The Kid LAROI, leaving fans eager to connect her next moves to her personal life. Some corners of social media have gone so far as to suggest a possible spark between McRae and Groves—even without a shred of evidence.
Of course, there’s one big catch: Groves is already engaged. The 19-year-old recently proposed to longtime girlfriend Shana Karren, with the couple set to marry later this year. That hasn’t stopped gossip accounts from speculating, though, with some even floating theories of a “forbidden duet.”
As of now, both Groves and McRae have remained silent, leaving fans to obsess over every cryptic lyric snippet and uncaptioned studio post. Whether it’s all smoke and mirrors or the setup for one of the year’s biggest collabs, Hollywood Talk can confirm this much: the rumors aren’t slowing down anytime soon.
