Canadian pop star Tate McRae has announced her third album, and she's bringing it to Canada next summer.

The Alberta-born, California-based singer has So Close To What for a February 21 release, followed by a world tour with several Canadian dates.


The Miss Possessive Tour will come through Canada in August 2025, with arena concerts in Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto and Ottawa.

The tour marks McRae's first major string of Canadian dates since hitting No. 1 in Canada with "greedy" in 2023. Her Think Later world tour brought her to Toronto's Budweiser Stage and the Calgary Stampede this past summer, but this tour will give more Canadian fans the chance to see the country's biggest recent breakthrough star live.

BLACKPINK’S Lisa Is 100% ‘That B–ch On Your TV’ In Fierce, High-Fashion Video For Return To Rap Solo Single ‘SaWaDiKa’: Watch

The hard-charging song is the first taste of the K-pop superstar's upcoming Press Play (Oct. 23) EP.

BLACKPINK‘s Lisa comes out swinging on her hard-charging single “SaWaDiKa.” And if you’re not convinced that her return to rap is complete, just check out the first, shouted lines of the song whose title translates into “hello” in Thai, because Lisa is cordially inviting you to bask in her badness.

“Hello Sawadika/ Yeah you know my wrist is cold/ Got this timepiece from Geneva/ If you know it then you know,” she raps at the top of the high-fashion, action-heavy video for the song, which dropped on Friday (Sept. 4) and was shot in the singer’s native Bangkok, Thailand. And, just in case you missed the ice-cold message, there’s one more thing on her mind: “I’m that b–ch on your TV/ And my Ferrari indigo/ La la lisa la diva/ Sawadika there she go.”
