‘SNL’: Watch Tate McRae Perform ‘Sports Car,’ ‘Dear God’

Both are from her new third studio album, So Close to What

Tate McRae‘s second Saturday Night Live musical guest spot saw her perform two tracks from her newest album, So Close to What, which came out late last month.

The first was “Sports Car,” which McRae has said was “such a fun song to write.”

“I wrote it with Julia Michaels, Ryan Tedder, and Grant [Boutin] and we wanted to kind of capture the adrenaline of love, sex, and the excitement of it all,” she told Vogue. “I felt like a sports car reminded me of that feeling of love, and like you are right in the middle of it. We referenced the Ying Yang twins with the whisper chorus and it ended up being really fun.”

McRae followed that up with “Dear God.”

The Canadian pop singer recently told Rolling Stone that she began writing songs that would end up on her latest album shortly after her second, Think Later, was released in Dec. 2023.

“Even though it’s work, writing feels like my safe space,” she explained. “The stable part of my life is when I’m able to talk about my feelings. So, I feel like amidst how crazy the year was on tour, it actually was nice to come home and keep writing about my perspective on where I was at in life.”

McRae previously debuted as SNL‘s musical guest in Nov. 2023, performing Think Later‘s ” Grave” and “Greedy.” The latter, which rose to the third spot on the Billboard Hot 100, would go on to win the 2024 Juno Award for Single of the Year.

In a few weeks, McRae will begin a 50-date world tour in Mexico City. Her Miss Possessive Tour winds through South America, Europe and North America, wrapping up in Inglewood in November. Opening for her in the U.S. and Canada is Swedish singer-songwriter , while Benee will do the same in Europe.
