What is the runtime of Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour?
Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour is estimated to run between 90 and 110 minutes with no intermission. This runtime does not include opening acts, just McRae's time on stage.
What is the age recommendation for Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour?
Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour welcomes all ages, as does Madison Square Garden. Some of her songs, however, contain explicit language and sexual themes, so parents of young children can discern whether they feel it is appropriate for their child.
Tate McRae has a largely young adult fanbase, but concertgoers of all ages can appreciate her high-energy performances and particularly her choreography.
What is Tate McRae’s music genre?
Tate McRae mostly makes up-tempo, indie-pop music about themes including love, infatuation, jealousy, and breakups. Signature songs like “Revolving door” and “exes” touch upon the dizzying obsession over exes (“We make up, then we break up, and they swear they’ll never call me” is a famous chorus of hers).
What can I expect at a Tate McRae show?
McRae is best known for the intricate, rapid-fire choreography she performs in full force while singing live. Her dance influences include Bob Fosse and his sensual choreography for the classic musical Chicago. The Chicago-esque chairs and the ensemble’s black wardrobe in her “Purple Lace Bra” performance “tap into that geeky musical side I think we all have,” she told Billboard.
The Miss Possessive Tour is Tate McRae’s first arena tour, complete with a massive video feed. McRae told Interview Magazine, “The biggest thing will be elevating the show to make it feel as big as the place that I’m in. Because last year I was going from 1,000-cap venues to venues with 18,000 people.”
At the tour’s London stop, McRae took audiences back to the days of “Create With Tate,” the YouTube channel on which she posted original songs, covers, and dance videos as a teenager. She tested her fans on their sing-along knowledge of songs she wrote back then, like “One Day” (her independent debut single that launched her career) and “feel like shit” (unsurprisingly inspired by a breakup).
Who else will be performing at Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour?
Pop singers Zara Larsson and Alessi Rose are confirmed to join Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour at different dates.
Larsson opens for McRae on September 3 and 4. Not unlike McRae, the dance-pop and R&B artist cultivated childhood fame in a talent competition show: the second season of Talang (the Swedish Got Talent series), winning over the judges with her rendition of Whitney Houston's “Greatest Love of All” at age 10. She then gained global recognition with singles like “Lush Life,” “Never Forget You,” and “Ruin My Life” throughout the past decade.
Rose is McRae's October 18 opener. An indie artist, Rose captured viral attention with her self-produced “say ur mine” music video and continues to enjoy fame with albums like For Your Validation and her most recent, Voyeur. She also recently served as the guest performer on various European stops of pop singer Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism Tour.
