On August 29, 2024, Megan Thee Stallion stirred excitement among BTS fans by posting a mysterious emoji tweet on X. The tweet immediately ignited speculation among fans about the possibility of another collaboration, building on the success of their previous remix of the hit track Butter by the global K-pop sensation.
In a recent social media update, she greeted her fans with a cheerful message about starting the day with the behind-the-scenes of the music video and hinted at more news to come. Following this, she posted a second message with a few emojis: a horse, an X, a purple heart, and side eyes.

Fans quickly associated the horse emoji with Megan herself. The purple heart led to various interpretations, including speculation about a new collaboration with BTS, as purple is often linked with the K-pop group.

"ANOTHER MEGTAN COLLAB IS COMING??"

"the purple heart screams BTS," another X user remarked.
"I'M BEGGING FOR THAT SECOND MEGTAN COLLAB GIRL-," a user mentioned.

However, this idea seemed to lose momentum with the members serving mandatory military service. Now, fans are excitedly reviving the possibility of a new joint project.
"IS THAT BTS AND MEGAN SWAP DEAL FINALLY COMING????" A fan exclaimed.
"don't wanna overlook this BUT PURPLE HEART, THAT SWAP COLLAB DEAL AND TODAY IS MEGAN X BUTTER ANNIVERSARY," another user commented.
"Maybe I'm delusional," a person wrote.
