Canadian superstar Tate McRae has opened up about her relationship with Australian singer The Kid Laroi.
The 21-year-old global hitmakers are both in Australia right now on their respective world tours, with Laroi also performing at the NRL grand final in his native Sydney on Sunday.
Speaking to KIIS Network’s Will & Woody on Monday, Tate shared details about her blossoming relationship with the Aussie superstar.
The radio hosts asked the Greedy singer what it felt like to perform music with her boyfriend.
‘He definitely did [get nervous]. Like when I said ‘Laroi’, I looked at him and he was pale, like he looked like he’d just seen a ghost,’ she said.
Tate has been on her Think Later tour, named after her sophmore album, for most of the year.
During her sold-out performance at New York’s Madison Square Garden in August, Tate called upon The Kid Laroi to perform a stripped back duet of his song Without You at the iconic venue.
‘He’s performed on the biggest stages and, with the craziest people, and he walks on my stage, and he literally looked like he wanted to cry,’ Tate said.

‘I’m very routine with my shows,’ the pop star said. ‘If I’m choosing to sit down, I sit down.
‘He’s very like – whatever. He’s a rapper. So he walks around.’
Mid-way through the performance, the You Broke Me First singer said The Kid Laroi blindsided her by improvising.
‘He grabs my hand and he picks me up,’ Tate continued.
She explained what was going through her mind in that moment: ‘Don’t you pick me up now! We didn’t practice this’.
‘Like I’m sitting here like trying to do my job and I’m like, “oh my god”, and so it was funny.’
‘And at the end he goes on this big spiel. He’s like, ‘I’m so proud of you’. All this stuff. And then he like, pauses. I totally thought he was done speaking!’
‘And I’m like, “give it up for the Kid Laroi!” I totally cut him off.’

Radio hosts Woody and Allen revealed to Tate that they’d asked The Kid Laroi the same question during a recent interview with the Stay singer.
‘It’s [the] sweetest thing, like someone’s sharing their stage with you, right?’ he said.
‘It’s one of the nicest things you can do, I think, is to share a stage and share a platform with someone you love.
‘It’s like a really cool thing to do and it was just a really great memory to have as well…It’s definitely not like asking to go and buy kitchenware.’
The GIRLS singer also admitted that joining his pop star girlfriend on stage was ‘the most nervous’ that he has ever been.
‘[It was] like one of the most nervous times I’ve ever been on stage, like I don’t want to f**k this up.’
Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi confirmed their relationship officially in April 2024 and have been dating since January
After months of speculation that the musical duo were in a relationship, The Kid Laroi made things official with the Canadian star during one of his own shows earlier this year.
He confirmed the relationship to fans during a concert in Ireland on April 14.
The moment came between songs while Laroi was on stage.
He told the crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin: ‘I need everybody in here to sing this as loud as they can because my girlfriend’s here tonight, and I don’t want to look lame.’
Fan cameras then panned to stage left, and showed Tate giggling while she was watching the show.
‘If you guys don’t sing this really loud…’ the Sydney star added, ‘It’s going to embarrass me.’
