Earlier this week, My Chemical Romance debuted a cryptic teaser that got a lot of fans talking. The visual of a white rose catching fire with “Give ‘Em Hell Kid” playing in the background sparked a lot of theories about what MCR could be teasing.
Not so coincidentally, HipDot shared the exact same teaser a day prior, adding fuel to the rumor fire that a makeup collab was in the works.
