Timeline
Around July 28, McRae posted a set of minimalist styled photos on Instagram, with photography and typography distinct from the "So Close to What" era, captioned only "Montreal, Chicago. See u soon" — hinting at two upcoming shows. Around the same time, hand-drawn posters appeared on the streets of Chicago, featuring four different looks tied to specific dates for her Osheaga and Lollapalooza performances, alongside an unexplained number sequence: "10 1."On August 1, she closed out Osheaga in Montreal. On August 2, she took the Lollapalooza stage in Chicago — performing no new songs, but with stage visuals clearly departing from the "Miss Possessive" era, fueling further speculation about a stylistic reset. Around August 3, she posted a lighthearted TikTok continuing the same minimalist visual thread, prompting fan speculation in the comments. Multiple outlets have since covered these developments, though their reporting overlaps heavily and does not yet amount to independent corroboration.
