Multi-platinum pop sensation Tate McRae is set to release her highly anticipated third album, So Close To What, on Feb. 21via RCA Records. Through unfiltered lyricism and raw emotions, So Close To What represents the journey of growing up when the road ahead feels infinite and the destination increasingly elusive. It’s an introspective exploration of self-discovery, love, and searching for balance in moments of uncertainty.
Today, Tate releases her new song “Sports car” and its official music video. It’s written and produced with hitmakers Ryan Tedder (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé), Grant Boutin (Meghan Trainor, One Republic), and Julia Michaels (Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa).
The provocative video is directed by Bardia Zeinali (Sabrina Carpenter, Troye Sivan) and styled by Brett Alan Nelson (Doja Cat, Karol G). It follows Tate as a viewer into her own dynamic world intertwined with high fashion moments and different characters. In a society that is constantly watching and judging, Tate becomes the observer and takes back control. Through her perspective, people are immersed in a powerful interplay of style and identity, where fashion becomes more than just clothing— it’s the canvas for her evolving identity. Each look tells a story, reflecting a different persona she embodies.
“Sports car” follows “2 hands” and “It’s ok I’m ok” that hit number 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart and earned the star her highest-debuting song of her career on the Billboard Hot 100.
In March, Tate will embark on her world “Miss Possessive Tour,” spanning South America, Europe, UK, and North America. Produced by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on March 18in Mexico City at Pepsi Centre, with shows in São Paulo, London, Amsterdam, Prague, New York, Nashville, and many more before wrapping up in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum on Sept. 26. Benee will be joining as support on all Europe and UK dates while Zara Larsson will join Tate across all US and Canada dates.
