Hold on to your hats people, because it looks like there might be a Rihanna and Sam Smith collaboration on the horizon.

The British star, who has been making waves across the pond, dropped a big hint to Entertainment Weekly with a tiny quote about what 2015 holds for pop fans.

He said: "I'm personally really excited for Rihanna's album. I know some stuff about that record that no one knows."

And fans did not take long to put two and two together and conclude that RiRi's new long player will feature a collaboration with our Sam.
