We love when three of pop music‘s hottest young stars link up. On Monday, The Kid LAROI took to his Instagram Story to share a sweet snap of himself, Olivia Rodrigo and Tate McRae.
The adorable picture finds the trio of pop stars posing on a Los Angeles street with a RuPaul’s Drag Race billboard towering in the background. The Kid LAROI throws up a pair of peace signs as he dons a black beanie, long-sleeve white tee and a statement red scarf. Rodrigo — dressed in a black biker jacket and heather-gray turtleneck — similarly throws her arms up and sports a huge smile, while McRae cradles her smiling face and dons a large black coat.
Some dating rumors have swirled around LAROI and McRae, though neither has confirmed their relationship status, while McRae and Rodrigo have been longtime friends, with Tate co-starring in Olivia’s “bad idea, right?” music video.
The nighttime pic commemorates a massive six months for the trio — each of whom unleashed a new studio album in that time period. On Sept. 8, Rodrigo unearthed her sophomore studio album, Guts, which became her second consecutive Billboard 200 chart-topper, spawned the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single “Vampire,” and earned six Grammy nominations, including album of the year. In exactly one month, starting Feb. 23, the “Drivers License” singer will embark on the Guts World Tour in support of the record, taking The Breeders, Chappell Roan, PinkPantheress and Remi Wolf on the road with her.
Just two months after Guts on Nov. 10, The Kid LAROI released his long-awaited debut studio album, The First Time. Reaching No. 26 on the Billboard 200, the album featured star-studded collaborations with the likes of Future, Robert Glasper and YoungBoy Never Broke Again and housed the Hot 100 hit “Too Much” (with Jung Kook and Central Cee, No. 44).
Of course, Tate McRae kicked off 2024 as one of the buzziest names in pop music thanks to the continued success of her smash hit “Greedy.” The song has since climbed to No. 3 on the Hot 100, helping her latest album, Think Later (released Dec. 8), reach No. 4 on the Billboard 200, her very first top 10 placement on the ranking. Like Rodrigo, McRae will embark on a world tour in support of her new record. The 53-date Think Later World Tour is set to kick off on Apr. 17 in Dublin and conclude on Nov. 21 in Wellington, New Zealand.
