A collaboration with Blackpink?
Grimes and Jennie caused quite the social media stir when their bombshell photo popped up on newsfeeds on July 26. Grimes wrote “Jennie and Grimes go to space” on Twitter, while Jennie captioned her picture on Instagram with “Rocket day with my fairy princess”.
Besides the surprising friendship reveal, their trip to SpaceX – the aerospace company owned by Grimes’ partner Musk – was unexpected too. Fans left plenty of comments on Grimes’ tweet ranging from “Jennie about to film her next MV in space” to “Space Girls”.
Jennie also posted an Instagram story of herself with Grimes, commenting, “We should be in a movie together.” Is this a hint at a future collaboration? Blackpink is working on Blackpink: The Movie as part of its fifth anniversary project “4+1”, after all – maybe Grimes will make a cameo?
According to YG Entertainment, Jennie and Rosé are currently in Los Angeles recording new music. Open any music magazine or have a quick scroll through Instagram, and you’ll find that the pair have been spotted with American stars like Dua Lipa, Jaden Smith and DJ duo Simi & Haze. A Blackpink collaboration with a Western artist seems all too likely … and it might as well be Grimes, if she and Jennie are as tight as they appear to be.
