In the whirlwind of pop and rap’s newest generation, two names keep surfacing: Tate McRae and Spencer Groves. Both artists, though from different lanes, are carving out their own narratives in the industry — and the internet has noticed.

McRae is coming off a high-profile split from Kid LAROI, yet her focus remains on building a catalog that’s turning her into one of pop’s most consistent breakout stars. On the other side, Groves, just 19, has already stacked collaborations with icons like Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, and Lil Wayne while preparing his debut album Belleview.

No studio sightings, no official announcements — but fans on socials have started linking the two names, wondering if there’s room for crossover between McRae’s moody, polished pop and Groves’ ambitious rap trajectory. The speculation says less about rumor, and more about how Gen-Z audiences now expect artists to blur genres and collaborate across worlds.

For now, neither camp has addressed the chatter. What’s clear, though, is that both McRae and Groves are young artists playing at a level far beyond their years — and whether or not they cross paths musically, their stories are already running side by side.

For now, the crossover remains speculation. But with both Tate McRae and Spencer Groves gaining momentum in their own lanes, it feels less like an if and more like a when.
