Pop star Tate McRae set fans abuzz this afternoon with an Instagram story hinting at a collaboration with Morgan Wallen. The 21-year-old singer shared a close-up of an orange Tennessee Volunteers jersey bearing “T8” and Wallen’s initials “MW” on a patch on her socials. This tease follows Wallen’s Instagram story last week, where he stated, “I haven’t seen one person guess the female collab on this album correctly yet,” adding intrigue to his upcoming album, I’m the Problem, set for release on May 16th.
Wallen’s fourth album will feature 37 songs, including five Billboard Top 10 singles like “Just in Case” and the title track “I’m the Problem.” He recently confirmed on X that the album includes his first-ever duet with a female artist, though her identity remains a mystery. Fans have speculated names like Miranda Lambert, but Wallen’s statement suggests otherwise. Right now, there seems to be little doubt that his mystery collaborator is Tate McRae.
Adding to the excitement, this week Wallen and Post Malone announced their new single, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back,” dropping this Friday, following their 2024 chart-topping hit “I Had Some Help.” Little is known about Wallen’s other songs, including his impending collaboration with the pop starlet, but with the album due out in a month’s time, more info is sure to be on the way.
