Ariana Grande sparks Taylor Swift collab rumours with sweet nod

Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande fans have long been waiting for a potential collaboration between their two favourite pop superstars, and the Wicked star sent theories running wild with her latest move.

The 33-year-old musician and actress, who just concluded her Eternal Sunshine tour, posted an edit via her management's social media with Swift's song playing in the background.

The video used the Opalite hitmaker's song Snow on the Beach featuring Lana Del Rey, and immediately caught fans' attention who believed it to be a hint.

Fans rushed to social media, and excitedly wrote, "TS13 tayriana collab CONFIRMED," and "TAYRIANA CRUMBS THEY ARE DEFINITELY HINTING AT A COLLAB."

A third chimed in, "WE ARE GETTING THAT COLLAB OMG."

While someone theorised, "afterglow (taylor’s version) ft Ariana Grande (from the vault) is coming for rep vaults!! yes i'm delusional bc it’s a Lover’s song but since there will be no Lover Deluxe so idk maybe…"

Another noted, "I know Taylor is the one who loves to give Easter eggs but why was it all petal songs except the ninth slide??!, like they could’ve easily just repeated another track like the other two slides, and Isn’t Taylor kinda teasing her upcoming album??, I’m just throwing this out there."

Meanwhile, one declared, "this is confirmation for me that ariana is on rep vault tracks idc."
