The Chainsmokers Are Literally Straddling Each Other in This New Pic

Straight people will likely just interpret this picture as a funny thing that Pall and Taggart did to promote a new song. Meanwhile, gay people who enjoy bearded and hairy men will probably find some homoeroticism in the photo.

It’s not a new strategy for straight male artists to use homoerotic themes and images to promote new music. Alas, there’s always plenty of plausible deniability regarding whether or not that was their original intention… so that’s that!

2023 has been a busy year for new releases from The Chainsmokers. Prior to “Summertime Friends,” the DJ duo released singles like “Make Me Feel,” “Up & Down,” “Self Destruction Mode,” “See You Again,” and “My Bad.” The duo’s last album, So Far So Good, was released in May 2022 and peaked at no. 106 on the Billboard 200 chart.

We hope they had fun!
