Up to this point it might have seemed like everything was anticipation for the tour. But on September 3rd They have published a new photo that sets off our alarm bells. The singers of 1999 They appear from the neck to the waist, both wearing a white T-shirt on which you can read in black letters “about fucking time! (it's about time!)”.

New remix of brat

This type of advance reminds us of the photo that Charli shared with Billie Eilish before announcing their collaboration on the remix of Guess. There has been much talk about a remix album of brat, gathering those that have already been published, such as Girl, so confusing with Lorde or 360 with Robyn and Yung Lean, with new tracks. Could you have recorded a new remix with Troye Sivan?

A new collaboration

“about fucking time!” can also sound like a song titleand the artists have seen each other on many occasions this year, especially these last few weeks with the rehearsals for the Sweat Tour. Have they spent time together in the studio? Do you want to tell us that you have a new collaboration? Without a doubt, this is one of the theories that fans want the most.

Together on the cover of a magazine

The iD Magazinean English media outlet dedicated to fashion, art and subcultures, has also shared the photo of the duo. However, they have included a short description.Sweat = optional. New website = guaranteed. ID relaunching tomorrow“, the text said. Will this be a new cover? Will the singers star in the new September issue?

The magazine has also shared a countdown in their Instagram stories, which ends on Wednesday, September 4 at 3:30 p.m. Spanish time. This seems to be the strongest theory so far, but it could be accompanied by one of the others.

Sweat Tour: international dates?

Troye and Charli have been anticipating their joint tour since its announcement last April, and It is normal for expectations to grow weeks before the start. What if it's just a message from the beginning of this? Like, “it was about time to start!

However, we also want to ask ourselves, what if they have more dates to announce? What if the Sweat Tour moves into international territory? We would love to see the two artists together in Europe. It's about time!

We don't know what they have up their sleeves, but We are sure that they will hit the jackpot. For now, we can wait for the iD magazine countdown to end. to see if it gives us any more clues.

And you, what do you think Troye Sivan and Charli XCX have prepared?
