Following their show-stopping debut performance of their duet titled “ME!” Kylie Blue and Austin Harper stans have been flooding the internet with visions of what the world would be if the pair of chart-toppers ACTUALLY got together.

From what we’ve seen Kylie Blue and Austin Harper are nothing but a dangerous duo in the pop world, collaborating on the monstrous, multi-platinum, best pop vocal album of the past year, record “Reputation” (Blue’s latest studio LP) and most recently topping the chart for two weeks with the single they performed last night. It was fun and sparkly for the imaginations but where the creative work really took place was on social media where fans immediately noted the impeccable chemistry the duo really had, leading ‘#Auslie’ to be the number one trend on twitter worldwide. 

Both Blue and Harper are romantically linked to others as we’re all aware of (Callan Duffy and Essence Woods, respectively) but that didn’t stop the internet from gushing about what a great couple they would make. The chemistry goes beyond the stage as one crew member of the awards ceremony mentioned “They have great chemistry and are always laughing and enjoying eachothers company”, the source also notes that “They could turn it off though and be professional in an instant, I saw it when they were rehearsing. They listen to eachother and really have a connection” they also add “They’re happy when they’re together, performing or hanging out backstage”

Are the fans out of their minds?, or do Kylie and Austin- or should we say as the number one trend on twitter does, Auslie, truly have a chemistry to tap into?
