Tate McRae closed the Miss Possessive Tour in Los Angeles on Nov. 8, and the run marked a major career milestone. The tour began on March 18 in Mexico City, and across 77 shows it sold 1 million tickets while grossing $110.8 million. Consequently, these figures represent a dramatic leap from her earlier years.
Explosive Growth
McRae’s growth shows up clearly in the numbers. For example, she averaged about 1,084 tickets per show in 2022; by 2025 that average rose to 13,480 as she moved into arenas. Moreover, per‑show revenue climbed from roughly $26,600 in 2022 to about $1.4 million in 2025. As a result, the Miss Possessive Tour tripled last year’s attendance and quintupled last year’s gross.
The tour’s geographic spread also tells a story of expansion. In Europe she played 26 shows that sold 359,000 tickets and grossed $27.9 million, while North America accounted for 50 shows, 673,000 tickets and $82.7 million. Notably, New York shows grew from a single Irving Plaza date to three nights at Madison Square Garden in 2025. Similarly, Los Angeles arena dates at Kia Forum sold over 42,000 tickets, which was a huge jump from the prior year’s Greek Theatre stop. Therefore, local market gains helped drive McRae’s global totals.
Music Releases Fueling Momentum
In addition to touring, McRae has kept releasing music at a steady pace. Albums include I Used to Think I Could Fly (May 2022), Think Later (Dec. 2023) and So Close to What (Feb. 2025). Meanwhile, she notched her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Hot 100 with Morgan Wallen on “What I Want.” Furthermore, “Tit for Tat” debuted at No. 3 in October, and she earned a Grammy nomination for F1’s “Just Keep Watching.”
Ultimately, Tate McRae’s strategy—frequent releases paired with relentless touring—has produced exponential growth. With the deluxe So Close to What due Nov. 21, she appears poised to sustain momentum. In short, expect McRae to remain a major force in pop music through the rest of the decade.
