Last week, reigning CMA Awards entertainer of the year Morgan Wallen teased that his new album will feature his first duet with a female artist, and ever since, fans have been speculating about who the collaborator could be.

They’ve thrown names of country artists including Megan Moroney, Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert in the ring of possible contenders. But now, fans have reason to believe the collaborator is none other than pop singer and “Greedy” hitmaker Tate McRae.


On Tuesday (April 15), McRae posted a Instagram Story that featured an up-close shot of an orange sports jersey, emblazoned not only with “T8,” but also the initials “MW.” The post had no caption or other commentary from the pop singer.

Wallen has yet to publicly comment on McRae’s Instagram Story, but he previously commented on fans’ guesses, posting a photo on his own Instagram Stories of himself playing golf, which reads, “I haven’t seen one person guess the female collab on this album correctly yet.”

In other Wallen collaborator news, he just revealed he will release a new song this Friday (April 18) with Post Malone, called “I Ain’t Comin’ Back,” the followup to their Billboard Hot 100 multi-week No. 1 “I Had Some Help.”

Wallen is gearing up for the May 16 release of his new album I’m The Problem, which features songs such as “Lies Lies Lies” and “Love Somebody.” He’ll also launch his Sand in My Boots festival in Alabama the weekend of May 16-18. Others on the lineup include Post Malone, Brooks & Dunn, HARDY, Diplo, T-Pain, Treaty Oak Revival and Bailey Zimmerman.

White House Uses Bad Bunny & Drake Songs in New ICE Deportation Videos: ‘You’re Going Home’

TikTok clips pair Benito's "La Mudanza" and the rapper's "Hoe Phase" with footage of ICE arrests.

The White House is using Bad Bunny and Drake songs to soundtrack videos promoting President Donald Trump’s deportation campaign, sparking backlash from fans and raising questions about the use of the artists’ music.

A video posted Thursday (July 30) to the White House’s TikTok account features Bad Bunny’s “La Mudanza” — which reached No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2025 — over quick-cut images of Trump, followed by footage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detaining undocumented men and women. The video displays the lyric “un aplauso para mami y papi porque en verdad rompieron” — “a round of applause for mom and dad, because they really crushed it” — alongside altered text in the clip that reads, “A round of applause for Donald J. Trump because he really crushed it.”
