Tate McRae on Greedy, SNL, and why trying to write a TikTok hit is "the death of art"

It sucks that her label rushed her to finish the album. The album is great and it definitely doesn’t sound rushed but artists should be allowed to decide when their album is finished when the time is right

that she felt like she ripped her heart out during the grave performance was so so very evident watching her sing it. i had it on repeat for multiple days after it happened and i got chills and cried so much, it just felt so raw and real and vulnerable.

Tom Power, one of the best interviewers. He asks the questions we want to know, but his questions are so in tune w/ his guests, he adapts, DOES HIS HOMEWORK and then we get to see it all on display. One of the greatest. His guests (even if they do not know him) you can feel the energy shift when they start respecting his work. Beautiful thing to watch.

She seems like such a lovely, down-to-earth person, with soo much buzzing energy that its contagious and not be excited for her. The funniest thing is my daughter listens to Tate's older songs but had no idea who sang them. It was only until greedy came out and I got addicted when we found out that all these other songs are also Tate's. Going to see her live in the UK (daughter and Mrs too) and super excited!

Her trying so hard not to fully start singing and dancing when the clips of her songs were played is precious, she's so proud of herself and I love that for her, she should be!!

when she was talking about grave🥺🥺🥺

I remember her first interview on this channel it’s crazy! I’m so happy she came back for another one🥰

Her comment about TikTok makes me like her even more.

We love you Miss Tate Mcslay! The new major pop girlieeee

so proud of tate

She seems so sweet

She is beaming with joy in this omg! Congrats Tate!

I started following Tate after her SNL appearance. I am 67 years old this young woman is going places. I put her on the same level as Britney, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Rhianna. She is so damn talented. If you get a chance check out her acoustic version of "Greedy". This lady can sing and OMG can she dance. I remember her from SYTYCD, she was amazing then. I can't wait to watch her career. I literally listen to her every day when I walk. Think the world of you Tate!

SO SO SO proud of you tate. we love you forever. the album is a master piece 😍🫶🏼

I wish I was that mature at her age. Keep slaying Tate!

It's true. Tom is a great great interviewer and he is the same in person when it isn't an interview. All round great person. I once told this to a musician while we were waiting to pick up Tom for the Winnipeg Folk Fest. By the time I dropped them off at the Fairmont the musician was just beaming. He had had a great ride. ❤ TP.

good good interview, i love all the questions !!!

Tom Power isn't "one of the best"! He's the epitome! 🙂 Seriously, congrats on all the success, Tate!

I reached out a few years ago hoping to produce a few tracks not knowing you were already doing your thing lol...I am so proud of how far you have come. I can't stop listening to Grave...it's the diamond on the album. Greedy is wicked as well..but Grave is the one. Your song writing ability is crazy, you also have a very unique voice. I am very proud of what you have accomplished. Tate.. I wish you all the success in the world you deserve it. It's your time to shine now. Hold onto it as long as you can. Thank you for the amazing music and shout out to One Republic front man for producing...he is amazing too! Many congratulations on all of your success.

This was a great interview and loved all of the introspections! And honestly I haven't seen this interviewer before but halfway through I'm thinking "I really like the way he asks questions and moves the conversation along, and paces it so well" so I can definitely say I agree with Tate's words at the end there!
