Tate McRae continues to ascend as a pop music icon with her third studio album, So Close To What, following the massive success of Think Later. Each release showcases a more refined and daring sound, cementing her place in the ever-evolving pop landscape. In celebration of the album’s debut, McRae is embarking on her first-ever arena tour, the Miss Possessive World Tour, which is fully sold out.

This album highlights the evolving character of McRae’s alter ego, Tatiana, initially introduced in Think Later. Tatiana represents McRae’s bold, confident, and occasionally chaotic side, giving life to tracks like Sports Car, co-written by industry heavyweights Ryan Tedder and Julia Michaels. With references to the Ying Yang Twins’ Whisper Song, the track reveals McRae’s full artistic command, delivering a fan favorite.

The official video for Sports Car features McRae collaborating with The Kid LAROI, known for his melodic rap style. Their partnership, building on a romantic connection that began in early 2024, has been highly anticipated. McRae had previously invited LAROI to perform WITHOUT YOU during her last tour. Their joint track, I Know Love, captures the intensity of falling for someone for the first time, with heartfelt lyrics that explore raw and vivid emotions.

While So Close To What includes plenty of upbeat and playful tracks, McRae stays true to her introspective roots. On Purple Lace Bra, she confronts the struggles of growing up under constant public scrutiny as a young woman, reflecting on her relationship with the media and the endless commentary on her life.

With So Close To What, Tate McRae demonstrates her versatility and growth as an artist, solidifying her role as a prominent and influential voice in pop music.
