Hot off the heels of her lauded VMA Awards debut<\/a>, pop sensation Tate McRae<\/a>‘s “Sports Ca<\/a>r” vroomed into Nashville for a fast and furious show.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old “Greedy” and “Exes” singer hit the stage at Bridgestone Arena as a part of an over 80-date world tour in support of her third studio album released in February, “So Close To What.”<\/p>\n In Music City, McRae delivered a high-octane show with 90-minutes of pop bangers, impressive dance breaks, bursts of fire, and even a special country music guest.<\/p>\n Tate McRae performs in Vancouver on her “Miss Possessive” tour.<\/p>\n Here are some of the night’s highlights.<\/p>\n After Swedish singer Zara Larsson<\/a> opened the show, blinding white strobes flashed, sparks rained down and bursts of fog coated the arena.<\/p>\n McRae appeared on an industrial-style stage flanked by yellow cranes and steel girder bridges, sporting black sunglasses and a two-piece set as she launched into “Miss Possessive,” the first track from her new album.<\/p>\n Columns of fire and flashing red lights set the scene alongside a flurry of backup dancers.<\/p>\n “Nashville, how we doin tonight?” McRae said. “We want u to sing and dance and be the loudest show yet!”<\/p>\n The crowd \u2014 mostly comprised of teens and 20-somethings \u2014 accepted the challenge, ravenously cheering throughout the night.<\/p>\n Tate McRae performs in Vancouver on her “Miss Possessive” tour.<\/p>\n From the concert’s first tunes “No I’m Not In Love” and “2 Hands,” McRae showcased her dance virtuosity with moves that ranged from sharp hip-hop to versatile contemporary. The Canadian singer started out as a competitive dancer, making it to the finals of “So You Think You Can Dance” at 13, the same age she began writing songs.<\/p>\n Multiple video cameras captured the dynamic choreo on giant screens behind the stage as McRae and her entourage danced with canes, strutted down a catwalk, seductively gyrated on moving platforms, and even pole-danced.<\/p>\n McRae’s arena performance was as much a magnetic dance showcase as it was a concert. But her vocal chops can’t be contested, either.<\/p>\n Her breathy vocals invoked artists from Madison Beer to Billie Eilish and Lennon Stella. McRae’s powerful riffs, though, held R&B power like Nelly Furtado and Tinashe.<\/p>\n One of the clear standout tracks was McRae’s 2025 song “Siren Sounds,” a song that had the audience screaming along: “We’d keep living in a burning house \/ Might be crazy to stick this out … You and I, and I \/ We’re just dancing to the siren sounds.”<\/p>\n Tate McRae performs in Vancouver on her “Miss Possessive” tour.<\/p>\n A medley of some of McRae’s early songs also highlighted McRae’s singer-songwriter versatility as she accompanied herself on the keys. These were tunes she started crafting in her teen years in her bedroom, posting them to YouTube.<\/p>\n “I wanted to take a second to say thank you to every single person who showed up,” McRae said, acknowledging just how far she’s come.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m so beyond grateful … playing arenas this year has been the coolest f***ing thing in the world.”<\/p>\n Midway through her show, McRae told the crowd that a pal would be joining her for a duet<\/a>.<\/p>\n “This has kinda become some sort of fun tradition that we’re doing on my tour,” she said. “I’m so excited to announce a special guest. I’m such a massive fan. Give it up for Megan Moroney<\/a>!”<\/p>\n The 27-year-old “Tennessee Orange” singer walked out with her cowboy boots on and a bedazzled guitar.<\/p>\n More: <\/strong>Watch: Tate McRae duets with Megan Moroney at Nashville show on ‘6 Months Later’<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n As they sat on stools, the two duetted on Moroney’s June song “6 Months Later,” a track about exes crawling back after a breakup that has quickly become a fan favorite.<\/p>\n McRae took the first verse as Moroney strummed her guitar, singing, “Let me set you the scene, November, circa 2019 \/ Put a hole in my heart, watched it bleed.”<\/p>\n The two harmonized on the chorus: “When you couldn’t care more, I couldn’t care less \/ You’re a little too late to the party (little too, little too late), heartbreaker \/ What doesn’t kill you calls you six months later.”<\/p>\n After Moroney left the stage, McRae performed a final high-energy set that included hits “Exes,” “She’s All I Wanna Be” and “Revolving Door,” which featured choreo centered around illuminated moving doorframes.<\/p>\n McRae ended the show with her track “It’s Ok I’m Ok” before returning to the stage for an encore comprised of “Just Keep Watching,” and “Sports Car” \u2014 a track with the energy of an early 2000s club anthem that McRae recently performed at the VMAs.<\/p>\n Tate McRae performs in Vancouver on her “Miss Possessive” tour.<\/p>\n “Greedy,” the final track of the night, coated the arena with showers of white confetti while McRae and company ascended into the air on a moving platform.<\/p>\n McRae belted out: “So sure of yourself, baby, don’t get greedy.”<\/p>\n But despite the warnings of restraint, the Nashville crowd couldn’t get enough.<\/p>\n To learn more about Tate McRae, visit tatemcrae.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
