Zara Larsson sparks buzz with 'Midnight Sun' opening performance on Tate McRae's Miss Possessive tour
Zara Larsson has been gaining viral attention on social media after delivering standout performances as the opening act on Tate McRae’s Miss Possessive Tour.
The Swedish singer is currently supporting McRae through September, performing her latest single Midnight Sun in a set that includes intense choreography and powerful live vocals.
In one viral clip, Larsson is lifted into the air mid-song while maintaining control of her vocals. Viewers praised her live performance, with many questioning why she is opening for McRae instead of being the main act.

One user wrote, “I’m being so serious when I say we need to make Zara Larsson the next main pop girl,” while another commented, “Why is Zara opening for Tate McRae… she’s been in the game way longer.” Posts comparing the two artists highlight Larsson’s vocal strength and stage presence, with some noting McRae’s focus on dance over vocals.
Zara will headline her own Midnight Sun Tour beginning in October, following the release of her upcoming album on September 26.
The title track, Midnight Sun, is described by Larsson as a reflection of her Swedish pop roots and emotional storytelling. She explains, “I wanted the whole album to feel like it’s a summer night and it never ends.”
