Phoebe Bridgers has reacted to Jensen McRae's impressive prediction of what Bridgers' third album opening track will sound like.

Last Friday (15 January) musician Jensen McRae uploaded a video of her singing a predicted song of what Phoebe Bridgers' next album opener might sound like.

McRae wrote, "In 2023 Phoebe Bridgers is gonna drop her third album & the opening track will be about hooking up in the car while waiting in line to get vaccinated at dodger stadium and it’s gonna make me cry."

In a second tweet with the 52-second video, McRae wrote, "this is my preemptive cover of what I imagine it will sound like."

McRae's "preemptive cover" sees her replicate Bridgers' vocal delivery, while singing, "Traffic from the East Side’s got me aggravated / Hotter than the day my brother graduated / Wait four hours in the sun / In line at Dodger Stadium / I’m not scared of dogs or getting vaccinated."

The clip has been seen over two million times since McRae uploaded it last week, and even got a mention from Bridgers herself, who reposted the video and wrote, "oh my god."
