At just 20 years old, Canadian sensation Tate McRae has effortlessly transcended the label of “up-and-coming.” In 2024, her trajectory suggests a journey to stratospheric stardom. McRae’s polished and infectious pop tunes draw inspiration from the raw emotional outpourings of Olivia Rodrigo and the sultry vibes of the Euphoria soundtrack.

The Dance that Captivated

A prominent figure of her generation, McRae’s ascent has been strongly influenced by social media. However, it’s her mesmerizing dance performances that initially captivated audiences. At the age of 13, she showcased her talents on the final stage of “So You Think You Can Dance,” laying the foundation for her multifaceted artistic journey. Since 2011, McRae has been sharing dance videos on YouTube, creating a digital footprint that paved the way for her musical endeavors.

A Musical Evolution

McRae’s star began to shine brighter in 2016 when she clinched third place on “So You Think You Can Dance?” season 13. Post the show, she delved into the realm of moody pop ballads, earning recognition from peers like Billie Eilish and her brother-slash-producer, Finneas O’Connell. The duo even co-wrote a track on McRae’s debut EP, “All the Things I Never Said,” released in 2020.

“You Broke Me First,” a poignant track from the EP, marked McRae’s first entry into the Billboard Hot 100 in the same year. However, the pandemic disrupted her plans for a larger stage.

A Viral Triumph

As 2023 drew to a close, McRae’s breakthrough moment arrived with “Greedy,” the lead single from her sophomore album, “Think Later.” The song went viral on TikTok, catapulting her to late-night TV fame with appearances on the Billboard Music Awards, “The Tonight Show,” and “Saturday Night Live.” Viral hits like “Greedy” and “Exes” showcased McRae’s undeniable talent, transforming her into a musical phenomenon.

Momentum and Anticipation

Armed with sticky pop hooks and her self-described “emo-girl-turned-dancer” performance style, McRae’s momentum is unstoppable. Anticipate 2024 to be the pinnacle of her career.
