Tate McRae Surprises Fans with Rooftop Event in Sydney

Tate McRae is currently touring Australia, where she’s set to perform in cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. But on November 12, she added a surprise event for fans in Sydney, inviting them via Instagram to “pull up” at the Entertainment Quarter carpark rooftop.

The unexpected invite instatly had fans speculating about what she might be up to. One popular theory was that McRae might be filming a music video for her upcoming single, 2 Hands, which drops on November 14. Plus, the carpark location matches McRae’s recent motorcycle-inspired fashion and automotive-themed visuals.

At the rooftop gathering, McRae gave fans an exclusive sneak peek at her new album, including a full performance of 2 Hands.

Fans also speculated whether McRae’s Australian boyfriend, The Kid Laroi, might join her, but with his next performance scheduled in Brisbane, it seemed unlikely. Nonetheless, fans are hopeful the two will take the stage together at some point during their overlapping tours.

Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi have been music’s latest It-couple, with first romance rumors appearing in January 2024. They confirmed the relationship in April when Laroi gave McRae a shout-out as his “girlfriend” during a concert in Dublin. Since then, the two have been inseparable, spotted together at high-profile events like the MTV VMAs and even sharing the stage. In August, Laroi joined McRae at Madison Square Garden for a special duet of his song Without You.
