Some of the biggest names in the music scene were under one roof on Sunday night last week, September 7, 2025, for the MTV Video Music Awards, when Tate McRae hit the stage. It was a night off from her Miss Possessive Tour, where she performed a medley of two of her hit songs, Revolving Door and Sports Car. Both are new tracks from her third studio album, So Close to What.

She kicked off her VMAs performance with a performance of Revolving Door surrounded by backup dancers stripped down into their underwear and delighted the audience with her back-bend leg extension, as seen on the music video. Meanwhile, she had fire in the background for Sports Car and showed off her skills with her splits.

Furthermore, besides her performance at the VMA stage, Tate McRae was also nominated for six categories during the awards night. She got a nod for Song of the Year for Sports Car and received two nominations in the same category, Song of the Summer, for both her F1 track, Just Keep Watching, and her feature on Morgan Wallen's What I Want.

She went home with two VMAs, the Song of the Summer for Just Keep Watching and Best Editing for the same track. While neither of the awards was televised, her reaction to winning Song of the Summer was captured on TikTok, per Billboard Canada, where she shared how "excited" she is and "very blessed and honored."
