Tate McRae's New Banger Single 'Sports Car' Not Having A Sports Car In The Music Video Is A Crime
Burgeoning Canadian pop girlie Tate McRae is getting ready to release her third studio album, titled 'So Close to What,' in just a few weeks, and on Friday she dropped the third single from the album. It's an absolute banger, and I'm not just saying that because the song is called 'Sports Car' and this is allegedly a car website. McRae also dropped the music video on Friday, and it's also great, but there is one huge glaring flaw: There isn't actually a sports car in the video!
This is a crime, honestly. She could've easily added to the pantheon of great automotive music videos, but instead the video consists of McRae dancing in a bunch of different rooms decorated with all sorts of random, strange stuff. There's a horse in one of the rooms, and in another scene McRae is dancing in an aquarium filled with water. She really is a fantastic dancer, so why didn't they rent a random sports car and have her dance on or around it? It makes no sense. Even more annoyingly, she's wearing a racing helmet in one of the scenes, and there's an engine block on the floor of the room the horse is in!
But, like I said, at least the song is excellent, and it does have car-related lyrics. McRae is addressing the man she's interested in, singing about all the places they should hook up in, including his sports car:
Where'd you put those keys?We can share one seatWe can share one seatIn the alley, in the backIn the center of this roomWith the windows rolled downBoy, don't make me chooseIn the alley, in the backIn the center of this roomWith the windows rolled downBoy, don't makе me chooseI think you know what this isI think you wanna uhNo, you ain't got no Mrs. Oh, but you got a sports carWe can uh-uh in itWhilе you drive it real far
McRae did have some good cars in the music video for her single 2 Hands, which dropped a couple months ago. She whips a bright orange McLaren 750S through a neighborhood and dances on top of an '80s Cadillac while dressed in a racing suit that's got her name on it. There's also a scene with other dancers wearing the same racing suits, doing a pit stop–esque routine in a gas station.
Pop stars, I implore you — if you've got a hit song with car-themed lyrics, or especially a car-themed title, you've gotta put a car in the music video.

National Arts Centre Orchestra's tour to Korea and Japan serves up Beethoven, Oscar Peterson, and some cultural diplomacy
TOKYO - The daily operation of an orchestra typically runs like clockwork — every minute is meticulously scheduled, rehearsals are tightly run, and the search for precision is constant. What better way to test the strength of this refined apparatus than to take it out on the road, and bring it to an audience that may be very familiar with the music, but not with the musicians? The National Arts Centre Orchestra is at the tail end of an 11-day tour to South Korea and Japan that included stops in Busan, Gumi, Seoul, Tokyo, and Tsu, wrapping up with a performance in Osaka on Saturday. Some 2,500 patrons showed up to their performance at the Seoul Arts Center. Approximately 60 world-class musicians are on this trip, and at the centre of this musical gyre is conductor Alexander Shelley. Squeezing in time in-between rehearsals to meet in the lobby of a Tokyo hotel, Shelley laughed when asked if he had time to explore the city. Shelley described the trip as a mission of cultural diplomacy as much as one that brings the orchestra to new audiences. ' The most exciting part of it for me is not demonstrating how special — even when it's true — the country of origin is that we are representing, but in fact how much the things that we're all looking to experience and articulate are shared,' he said. This was the orchestra's first appearance in Seoul, and its first time back in Japan in 40 years. An international orchestra tour is a mighty expensive endeavour. The tour came with a budget of approximately $2 million, funded in part by philanthropic donations, said Annabelle Cloutier, strategy, governance and public affairs executive at the National Arts Centre. It mobilized more than 110 artists and musicians, and engaged over 16 regional partners across 47 unique community events. It took three years to meticulously plan for this titanic trip field, accounting for the more than 50,000 cubic metres of cargo that made the trip over. These metrics might seem like a high price tag even for the long string of concerts presented. But this tour also coincided with a few diplomatic projects. The concert in Seoul, for example, closed out the Korea-Canada Year of Cultural Exchanges ─ a joint effort to commemorate 60 years of diplomatic relations. Likewise, the Japan leg of the tour featured quite a few engagements with the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo, wherein the embassy's Oscar Peterson Theatre serves as the venue for the ongoing centennial celebration of the legendary Canadian jazz pianist. Shelley said tours like these help to establish cultural common ground. ' I don't think I could do my job unless I believed at the most profound level that the human experience is constant across time and across culture. A Korean woman born 300 years ago would've had a very different experience of life to me growing up in London in the ''80s. But I think that the underlying motivations and experiences would've been identical: hope and fear, ambition and love, loss and melancholy.' The contrast between hope and fear is one that Shelley particularly savours in Beethoven's Fifth symphony, which made several appearances in programs along this tour. As he notes regularly, it is the first symphony that starts in a dark minor key and ends in a more hopeful major. Shelley makes the case that Canada's national orchestra performing the German composer's work to Korean and Japanese audiences does more to strengthen the ties that bind than emphasize the differences that divide. 'If we do it right, this man who lived in Germany a long time ago, whose life is completely different from ours, tapped into something that we can all recognize. When we connect with each other properly, we recognize this deep current that courses through human history. And that for me is what real cultural diplomacy is about.' The tour included compositions by Canadians including Kelly-Marie Murphy, Keiko Devaux, and Oscar Peterson, while among the standout homegrown performers are the emerging British Columbia pianist Jaeden Izik-Dzurko and established violinist Adrian Anantawan from Ontario. Shelley will leave his role as music director with NACO at the end of the 2025/26 season. After more than 10 years on the podium, he will become Music and Artistic Director of Pacific Symphony in California. Shelley's words of advice for his eventual successor are to urge them to contemplate the question: 'Why an orchestra? What role does it serve?' Michael Zarathus-Cook is a Toronto-based freelance writer, the chief editor of 'Cannopy Magazine,' and a medical student at the University of Toronto. The National Arts Centre sponsored his trip to South Korea and Japan. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6.

‘And Just Like That' Season 3 Opens With Miranda Sleeping With A Virgin Nun Named Mary — Played By Rosie O'Donnell!
And Just Like That… Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good' never explains exactly what happened to Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) former flame, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez). Rather, the MAX show just drops us back into the lesbian lawyer's dating life. In the first episode of And Just Like That… Season 3, Miranda struggles to connect with anyone at a gay bar until she meets Mary (Rosie O'Donnell). While Mary isn't young or cool, she is absolutely enthralled by Miranda's beauty. Miranda happily decides to hook up with Mary, only to regret her decision later, after she learns more about the out-of-towner… **Spoilers for Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good,' now streaming on MAX** When Miranda wakes up next to Mary in the morning, she's taken aback by how hyped the woman is about their one night stand. Mary then reveals that she literally lost her virginity to Miranda! Miranda, understandably, wonders if this just means this was Mary's first lesbian encounter. But no, Mary isn't just 'Mary from Winnipeg.' Mary is a Catholic nun who has never experienced sex in her entire life! Miranda has rocked this woman's world and spends the rest of the episode avoiding her lovesick texts. Now, most people are probably going to latch onto the sensationalism of Rosie O'Donnell popping into And Just Like That… to play a Canadian nun who loses her virginity to none other than Cynthia Nixon's Miranda Hobbes. Both O'Donnell and Nixon are outspoken 'out' celebrities who seem to make headlines every time they open their mouths. Pairing them up onscreen is noteworthy on its own. However, I'm really more fascinated by what this storyline does in moving Miranda's story forward. And Just Like That… Season 1 introduced us to a Miranda Hobbes in the midst of a mid-life crisis. She was back in school, struggling with an alcohol addiction, and unhappy in her marriage to Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). Everything changed for Miranda when she met Che Diaz. The non-binary comedian awakened something in Miranda she had never felt before. Che also inspired habits that we'd never seen in Miranda before. Most notably, Miranda cheated on Steve with Che in Carrie's kitchen all while Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) was recovering from surgery! (I'm still mad about this plot development simply because the Miranda I knew from Sex and the City would never leave an unwell Carrie in the lurch!) Miranda's infatuation with Che subsequently set off an atomic bomb in her personal life. She left Steve, came out as a lesbian, and began to question all of her life choices. In And Just Like That... Season 2, Miranda followed Che to Los Angeles. We watched Miranda Hobbes — the no-nonsense, career-oriented, high-powered attorney — clean beaches for fun and mope around the house without her Che. Eventually, the pair split up and Miranda returned to New York and slowly reclaimed the qualities we all know as undeniably 'Miranda.' Cut to And Just Like That… Season 3 Episode 1 'Outlook Good.' Miranda is just looking for low stakes sex and winds up fundamentally changing Mary's world. Mary is soon texting Miranda like crazy, begging her to meet up at corny New York tourist spots. Miranda understandably has the ick. Like, most New Yorkers don't want to hit up the Central Park carousel without a kid in tow. However, there's something else at play here: Miranda has to realize she is Mary's Che. When Miranda finally confronts Mary outside the M&M store, she cautions Mary that she shouldn't radically change her life just over one night of hot sex. You can hear her almost going back in time, warning her Season 1 and Season 2 self that her fixation on Che would ultimately fizzle out. What's extraordinary is that Sister Mary immediately makes it clear that's not what's going on for her. The nun is not leaving the church. She's not changing who she is overnight. Rather, Miranda, and New York City, have given Mary a glimpse of the life she could have had. She's thankful for the experience and simply wants to express that to Miranda. Again, And Just Like That… never tells us what happened to Che Diaz. The controversial character was simply written off the show. And yet, Miranda's experience with Mary seems to tie a bow on the whole Che Diaz saga. Miranda was Mary once, living decades of her life unable to fully explore her sexuality. Che gave Miranda that opportunity. Che helped Miranda find her truest, happiest self. Regardless of how you feel about Che Diaz, the character served an important role in the overall Sex and the City saga. Because of them, Miranda is now able to pursue joy and romance in a way she couldn't before. Sister Mary is happily returning to her life as a nun in Winnipeg knowing the ecstasy of real passion thanks to Miranda and Miranda is returning to her life as a hot single lawyer searching for sex in the city thanks to Che Diaz.
