Rising pop star Tate McRae ignited speculation about her relationship with The Kid LAROI after posting a cryptic quote alongside a moody new photo on Instagram, prompting fans to dissect the meaning behind her words.
In her Instagram Story five days ago, McRae wrote, “I’m restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again – Anaïs Nin,” implying a confessional, introspective moment.
The timing of the post comes amid ongoing rumors that McRae and the Australian chart-topper might have parted ways after dating since early 2024 and going Instagram official in July of last year.
During that time, they were a high-profile couple in the music world: they exchanged a public kiss at a Madison Square Garden show and collaborated on McRae’s February 2025 album, So Close to What.
McRae’s latest message—filled with longing and poetic distance—has many theorizing that the quote signals a turning point or new chapter in her life, possibly separate from LAROI.
Neither McRae nor LAROI has confirmed any changes in their relationship. But with the quote’s emotional resonance and their shared history of public and musical collaboration, this subtle but meaningful post has sparked fresh interest and speculation in celebrity and music news circles.
