Tate McRae proved that nothing can stop her from putting on a great show when she faced not one, but two wardrobe malfunctions during her Miss Possessive Tour stop in Edmonton, Canada, on August 7.
While performing her hit song “Exes”, McRae experienced a shoe mishap that would have thrown most performers off their game—but not her.
At the Rogers Place arena, McRae was in the middle of an energetic dance number when one of her black heels flew off mid-performance. Surprised, she briefly stopped, muttered, “What the f—?” into the microphone, and then did the unexpected—she tossed her other shoe off the stage with a smile.
“Jesus Christ,” she laughed before jumping right back into the choreography alongside her backup dancers. The crowd erupted in applause, impressed by her quick recovery and sense of humor.
A Second Shoe Malfunction: McRae Keeps the Energy High
If one wardrobe malfunction wasn’t enough, McRae faced another shoe mishap during a different part of the concert. Another TikTok user captured the moment when McRae lost her white shoe after kicking her foot during a performance.
Like the first incident, McRae kept dancing, finishing the number before acknowledging the situation with humor.
“Hold on, f— the music. I need to put my shoes back on,” McRae joked to the audience, only to realize the shoes were missing. “Who took them? No, one sec!” she continued, adding to the playful atmosphere.
McRae then ran off stage, and when she returned, she reassured the crowd: “Okay, we got it back together. Sorry about the malfunction, guys. This always seems to happen to me in Alberta. Hometown curse, I guess.”
McRae, who hails from Calgary, Alberta, embraced the moment, showing her fans that even with the mishaps, she could still bring the energy and keep the show going.
McRae’s Hometown Show and Personal Life Update
McRae’s recent performance in her hometown came at a time of significant change in her personal life. Just weeks earlier, it seemed that her relationship with Australian rapper The Kid LAROI had ended.
The confirmation came on July 25, when The Kid LAROI shared a screenshot of an interaction on X (formerly Twitter), which suggested that he and McRae had split after months of dating rumors.
The couple had first sparked romance rumors in January 2024 when McRae posted a mirror selfie wearing a shirt that appeared to belong to The Kid LAROI. Their relationship seemed to be confirmed in April 2024 when The Kid LAROI referred to McRae as his “girlfriend” during a concert.
However, by the summer of 2025, it was clear the relationship had ended, though neither McRae nor The Kid LAROI’s representatives have commented publicly on the split.
Fans Love McRae’s Resilience
Despite the challenges in her personal life and the shoe mishaps during the concert, McRae’s professionalism and sense of humor shone through. Fans quickly took to social media to praise her ability to keep going despite the wardrobe malfunctions. One fan tweeted, “Tate McRae is a queen.
Lost two shoes during her performance and still kept dancing with full energy—what a pro!” Another wrote, “It’s the way she laughed it off and kept going that made this performance so special.”
McRae’s response to the shoe malfunctions only reinforced why she’s so beloved by her fans—her ability to handle the unexpected with humor and grace. It’s clear that no matter what life or the stage throws at her, Tate McRae will always keep dancing.
