Zara Larsson and Tate McRae: A Dynamic Duo on the Miss Possessive Tour and Beyond
Zara Larsson credits Tate McRae for the opportunity to open on the Miss Possessive Tour, which was a pivotal moment in her career in 2026. Larsson addressed fans' questions about headlining arenas instead of McRae, emphasizing that their partnership was a perfect match despite some comparisons due to her longer tenure in the industry. Larsson's response to critics was straightforward: if they felt she deserved to headline, they should buy tickets themselves. The tour saw Larsson perform at iconic venues like Madison Square Garden, the United Center, and the Kia Forum, coinciding with the release of her breakthrough album, Midnight Sun. She is now preparing to release a deluxe version of the album featuring collaborations with artists like Shakira, PinkPantheress, and Robyn. Larsson also shared a message of support for McRae on social media, highlighting their friendship and mutual respect as pop artists. In her interview on Call Her Daddy, Larsson discussed the challenges female pop artists face in the industry and the tendency for people to pit them against each other. Despite similarities in their styles and performances, Larsson acknowledged McRae's talent and the preference for rooting for underdogs. Both Larsson and McRae will be recognized at the upcoming Billboard Women in Music ceremony, with Larsson receiving the Breakthrough award and McRae being honored as a Hitmaker.
