Is a collaboration between Ciara and Tyla on the horizon?

South African singer Tyla and American R&B star Ciara shared a fun backstage moment at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena in New York on Sunday night, sparking speculation of a possible collaboration.

The two danced together as Ciara taught Tyla the moves to her new single, “Low” from her deluxe self-titled album “Cici”, which features Tanzanian artist Diamond Platinumz.

The almost 40-year-old talented singer’s energy was on full display as she just kept going lower, and the “pretty girl from Jo’burg” star clearly could not keep up with those strong knees, which left her cheering on the “Ecstasy” hitmaker.

Ciara shared a clip of them dancing on X with the caption: “I think you’re ready for more! Loved getting low with you @Tyllaaaaaaa.” 

The phrase, taken from the song’s lyrics, makes one wonder if Ciara could be hinting at a collaboration with the Grammy award-winning star.

The idea would not be so far-fetched as Ciara has previously spoken about wanting to work with Tyla during an interview with L’Officiel.

“If I could collaborate with someone, I think it would be super cool to maybe work with Tyla. I think what she does is just; her music is really infectious, and she makes people dance through her music. And for me, it’s really important to make the world dance,” she said.

“I think me and Tyla could wind it up a little bit, you know, do a little song, something together, maybe. It could be cute,” she added.

Tyla was not just dancing with Ciara on the night. She was also spotted mingling with some of the industry’s biggest names, including rapper GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Busta Rhymes and Zara Larsson.

Adding to the buzz, Tyla and Ciara were also seen together the following day at the Pandora Talisman Collection launch event in New York. 

This comes after fans recently speculated that Ciara’s new song “Low” and its music video were influenced by Tyla’s style, causing some online debate between their fanbases.

With both artists known for their high-energy performances and love for dance, fans are eager to see if this backstage moment will lead to a “Low” remix.

“I need a remix with Tyla on it and yall better collab too soon,” said @Quan on TikTok.
