Amy Lee has ignited fresh speculation about a potential all-star collaboration after sharing a photo alongside Spiritbox frontwoman Courtney LaPlante and alt-pop artist Poppy. The image, posted across their social media accounts, has fans and industry insiders buzzing about what the trio might be working on.
A Photo That Launched a Thousand Theories
The now-viral photo, originally shared on platforms including X (formerly Twitter), quickly made its way to Reddit, where fans dove into speculation. Some wondered whether the three powerhouse vocalists were teaming up for a joint track, while others guessed a tour announcement might be on the horizon.
“What if Amy is joining in on the screams?” one Redditor asked, referencing LaPlante’s heavy vocal style. “As a Spiritbox fan, this is pretty exciting. Courtney is incredible… though I do prefer their earlier sound. Poppy’s definitely more accessible, so maybe this will be something more mainstream and fun.”
Another theory suggested a North American co-headlining tour in 2026, possibly linked to Evanescence’s anticipated sixth album, EV6. Others questioned whether this project would be a solo endeavor for Lee or something tied directly to Evanescence.
“I’m guessing it’s more likely an Amy solo thing,” one fan wrote. “Poppy and Spiritbox aren’t exactly my go-to, but there’s no denying their talent. Whatever it is, it should be cool.”
Industry Clues and Familiar Faces
Adding weight to the rumors, the photo was reshared not just by the artists themselves, but also by their record labels—Sumerian Records (Poppy) and Pale Chord (Spiritbox). Industry observers noted that this level of coordination likely signals something more than a casual meet-up.
Producer Jordan Fish, known for his work on Poppy’s recent album Negative Spaces and his studio involvement with Spiritbox, fueled the fire with a cryptic “shocked face” emoji on Poppy’s Instagram post. While no official statement has been made, his response suggests he may be involved in whatever’s brewing.
Lee has made it clear in recent years that she’s open to creative experimentation. As Kerrang! reported earlier this year, she’s already collaborated with artists like K.Flay and Halsey, further proving she’s not afraid to explore beyond Evanescence’s gothic-rock roots.
More Than a Coincidence
The timing of the photo drop adds an extra layer of intrigue. Earlier this year, Courtney LaPlante and Poppy made headlines when they were mistaken for each other on the Grammy Awards red carpet—a moment that quickly became a meme in fan circles. Now, with both appearing alongside Lee, fans are playfully calling the collaboration a “full-circle moment.”
Stylistically, the three artists occupy distinct corners of the modern rock and alternative landscape. Yet their unique voices—ranging from Lee’s operatic presence to LaPlante’s metalcore growls and Poppy’s genre-bending versatility—create a compelling blend.
Though details remain under wraps, the shared photo has clearly struck a chord across fan communities. Whether it’s a single, a tour, or something more ambitious, one thing is certain: the rock world is watching closely.
