The Great Divide
Video - All 12 Eggs

The music video premiered during the 2026 Grammy Awards broadcast. Story: grown-up Kahan returns to a gas station where he once fought with a childhood friend. Here's everything hidden inside it.

Verified Easter Eggs

8 confirmed
01

Phone number on the "For Sale" sign

Callback

The number 822-993-167 appears on a car at the gas pump. It's the same number from the Kacey Musgraves collaboration "She Calls Me Back" - the one he says he still dials.

02

WiFi password: NORTHERN_ATTITUDE

Callback

Written on a noticeboard inside the shop - a direct callback to the Stick Season track featuring Hozier. The password that let the whole world in.

03

Missing Dog poster - Penny

Character

A poster for a missing German Shepherd reads: "Missing Dog - Lost in The Great Divide - Have You Seen Penny?" A tribute to Noah's actual dog, Penny. The poster may have teased an unreleased track called "Best Friend," but that song didn't appear on the final tracklist - making it a pure Penny cameo and a red herring.

04

Gas pump prices: 4.24 and 3.20

Date code

4.24 = April 24, the album's release date. 3.20 = March 20, the first day of Spring - when "the bugs don't die." Fans speculated 3/20 would be the release date. "Porch Light" dropped March 13, but the Spring marker held meaning throughout the rollout.

05

"Call Your Mom" sticker on the sun visor

Callback

A sticker referencing Kahan's 2021 track of the same name - one of his earliest breakout songs. The car's interior is a museum of his own catalog.

06

The Great Divide album cover on the visor

Character

The actual album cover - featuring the two boys - is visible on the same sun visor. The boys in the cover are the same boys in the video. The story inside the story.

07

Orange juice bottle at the 3:19 mark

Callback

Younger Kahan offers his friend what appears to be orange juice; the friend ignores him. A visual echo of "Orange Juice" from Stick Season - another song about reconnecting with a fractured friendship.

08

The ladybug on the fence

Bug reference

A ladybug appears on the fence just as the two boys cross to the other side of it. The bug flies away at the moment of crossing - the last of the bugs, crossing the divide before the people do.

Fan Theories - Unconfirmed

4 speculative

These haven't been officially confirmed by Kahan or his team. Worth noting because the fandom is often right.

09

Yellow lighter

Fan theory

The friend flips open a yellow lighter in the car. The black-and-yellow "Headlights in the Dark" vinyl variant shares this exact color palette. Possibly coincidental - the colors were chosen early in production.

10

Green #5 jersey on younger Kahan

Fan theory

Speculated by fans to point at track 5 (Lighthouse, the first bonus track) or a February 5 reveal date. No official confirmation.

11

License plate 4CB3A

Fan theory

Fans have tried to decode this as an alphanumeric tease - a technique used by other artists recently. No confirmed decode.

12

Performance shots from the back of a car

Fan theory

The acoustic back-of-a-car performance shots visually echo a well-known format used by Zach Bryan. Kahan and Bryan had a reported falling-out after Bryan didn't appear for a planned Fenway duet. Some fans read this as a thawing nod - others see it as a coincidence.
