Amy Lee has sparked speculation about a potential new collaboration after sharing a photo with Courtney LaPlante and Poppy on social media, as reported by X (formerly Twitter).
The shared photo has generated significant discussion among fans on Reddit about what this collaboration might entail.
“What if Amy is joining in on the screams? As a Spiritbox fan, this is pretty exciting. Courtney is an incredible singer…Though I do prefer early Spiritbox compared to their current sound,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “Poppy is definitely more accessible than Spiritbox, so I do wonder if this will be something just kinda mainstream and fun.”
Other fans have speculated about the nature of the project. Some suggest it could be tour-related.
“I have a feeling it might be a North American co-headline tour for 2026 in support of EV6,” another fan commented.
Additional speculation has emerged about whether this represents a solo venture for Amy Lee or an Evanescence project.
“Oh interesting, wonder if this is an Amy solo thing or an Evanescence thing, I would guess probably an Amy thing rather than Ev,” another fan noted. “Poppy and Spiritbox aren’t necessarily my thing, but there’s no denying they are both great vocalists, though so should be cool whatever it is.”
The mysterious photo has gained additional credibility through industry connections and past collaborations between the artists involved.
Music Mxdwn reported that the photo was shared not only by the three musicians themselves but also by their respective record labels—Sumerian for Poppy and Pale Chord for Spiritbox. This hints at a possible joint music project. Producer Jordan Fish, known for his work on Poppy’s most recent album Negative Spaces and his studio ties with Spiritbox, posted a shocked face emoji on Poppy’s Instagram post. This suggests his potential involvement in the collaboration.
Amy Lee has demonstrated her willingness to explore new musical territories through recent collaborations. Kerrang! noted that Lee has worked with artists like K.Flay and Halsey earlier this year. This increases anticipation about the style and scope of this new project with LaPlante and Poppy.
The timing of this collaboration comes with an interesting backstory between two of the artists involved. 98 KUPD revealed that LaPlante and Poppy previously made headlines when they were mistaken for each other at the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. Fans have playfully referenced this coincidence since the new photo surfaced.
The three musicians represent distinct but complementary styles in modern metal and alternative scenes. This makes their potential alliance particularly noteworthy for fans across different subgenres. No official announcement has been made regarding the nature of the collaboration between the three artists.
