Watch Tate McRae's electrifying performances on Saturday Night Live
The Calgary pop star did 2 songs from her No. 1 album, So Close to What
It was a winning weekend for Tate McRae.
The Calgary singer and dancer graced the Saturday Night Live stage for the second time, performing two songs from her third album, So Close to What, which just debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It's McRae's first No. 1 album.
McRae performed her sultry single "Sports car" on SNL, flanked by backup dancers in sleek dress suits on top of a mountain of chairs. She brought all her dancing chops (and flexibility) to the performance, with a dance breakdown that will likely be replicated on TikTok in the coming weeks.
McRae also joined host Shane Gillis in a sketch parodying the singing competition The Voice. McRae is no stranger to the reality TV competition world: in 2016, she was a contestant on So You Think You Can Dance, and made it to the top three.
She took the stage again later in the show, to perform another So Close to What track: "Dear god."
The last time McRae was on SNL was in November 2023, when she performed her breakout hit "Greedy." McRae is up for five awards at this year's Junos on March 30, for her 2023 album, Think Later.
Her Miss Possessive world tour in support of So Close to What kicks off March 18, with stops in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.
