Who is Tate McRae?

Tate McRae, 18, is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and dancer.

She grew up in Calgary with her father, a lawyer, her mother, a dance coach, and brother, Tucker.

Dancing from the early age of six, she attended Canada’s prestigious Alberta Ballet and at age 11 won a silver medal at the 2015 Youth America Grand Prix.

At age 13, she auditioned for season 13 of the US TV series So You Think You Can Dance with judges Paula Abdul, Nigel Lythgoe and Jason Derulo.

After the show, Tate started a YouTube channel, Create With Tate, to showcase her dance skills, but ended up uploading a song onto her page four weeks in.

The song, One Day, has since accumulated over 38 million views.

However, You Broke Me First, was her first single to reach number one in America and the top three in the UK with nearly 900million streams on Spotify.

The rising artist currently has 25milion monthly listeners on Sportify and is ranked 114th in the world by the music streaming service.

Her Spotify bio says: “hi i’m tate. i write songs because they’re all the things i never got to say.”

When will her debut album be released?

Tate’s debut album, i used to think i could fly, is set to release on May 27, 2022.

It will include her most recent hits, chaotic, she’s all i wanna be, and feel like sh*t.

On March 31, 2022, during her second sold-out show at Irving Plaza in New York City, Tate took a quick moment to reveal her debut album’s release date to the crowd of screaming fans saying:

“I’m really excited, stay tuned. I’ve been working really hard on it.”

The Canadian singer, however, took to Instagram on April 1, to officially announced the news she had been teasing for weeks.
