Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour was an unforgettable night filled with amazing vocals, fiery dances, and a packed arena ready to have the night of their lives.
The show opened with an incredible performance by pop-icon Zara Larsson. If Tate is “Miss Possessive,” Zara is “Miss Vocals.” She had a powerful voice with so much vocal control and breathtaking belts. She easily felt like a main act with her confident stage presence and infectious energy. Also, she was one hell of a dancer.
Zara has always been an incredible artist but she gained more popularity for her song “Symphony,” which went viral on Tik Tok because it got edited to colorful, cartoonish pictures in a Lisa Frank-esque vibe and dolphins. Sadly, there were no colorful dolphins but she did sound incredible performing that song. I always find it so special to get to hear popular songs live because they’re always rooted in some kind of notable life era or specific memory.
The interactions while waiting for Tate to come out were unreal. Everyone around me was so kind and there was this unspoken air of womanhood that was so unlike other concerts I’ve been to. It felt like such a “girls-girl” night with unending positive interactions, people complimenting each other's outfits, others offering to take pictures for people, and help each other find our seats. It was a night filled with the definition of girlhood.
Tate opened with the song that names the tour, “Miss Possessive,” and when I tell you my jaw was on the floor. It was a phenomenal way to start. Her set started with a pre-filmed, black & white video that set an intense and cinematic tone with its visuals. From flashing lights to smoke effects, stuttering and dramatic footage to perfectly choreographed dances, I was left speechless and we were only two minutes into the performance.
The first glimpse of Tate had the crowd going wild. Tate is undeniably beautiful and the state presence that she brings to performances makes the show that much more impactful and mesmerizing.
I went into this concert knowing my favorite songs of hers that I was ready to hear: “run for the hills” and “Revolving door.” I left with new favorite songs. The amount of passion and energy that her and her dancers put into each performance made me love every single song.
But there were certain ways she would perform a song that was different from the recorded track that made me see it in a new light and I just absolutely fell in love with them. A few songs that have wound up on my “On Repeats” playlist because of this are, “Like I do,” “Siren sounds (bonus),” and “Miss possessive.” There are some songs that are made for live performances and these were some of them. I think being able to see the dances that complement these songs and the emotions she would put into their performances gave them a whole new life.
From what I’ve seen online, a fan-favorite moment from this tour is when she sings a series of ballads on a circular stage that puts her more intimately closer to the crowd. After seeing it for myself, I can agree that this was truly such a special and memorable moment. She played a piano mash-up of some of the songs that started her music journey like, “that way,” “One Day,” and “feel like shit” before performing a crowd-favorite “you broke me first” that had everyone singing the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
The show ended in a shower of confetti with the crowd left mesmerized and in awe of the performances we had just witnessed. Everyone on stage was all smiles and I loved seeing Tate take a few extra moments to really take in the crowd and show gratitude for everyone who had shown up to support her and her music.
Tate has such a wonderful group of people on her team and you can see just how much they adore her by the way they all interact on stage and the level of energy they brought to each and every song. The whole night was full of endless, wholesome moments, unforgettable performances, and incredible music.
