It's OK, we are all VERY OK this week as Tate McRae guests on Las Culturistas! The superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss her thoughts on the Britney comparisons, underrated Ariana bops, little slutty glasses as top fashion accessory of 2025, training in Berlin as a ballerina and competing in So You Think You Can Dance at just thirteen years old. Also, being an "asthma legend", staging a tits-out arrest in broad daylight for a music video, songwriting with Amy Allen, Ryan Tedder and Julia Michaels, and daunting expectations when it comes to choosing THE SINGLE. All this, the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana as formative pop culture, becoming ~Tatiana~ on stage, playing with pigs in Tokyo, man bun culture, hip culture, and how Carplay often leads to conflict. You have to stream the new album So Close To What" now, it's fantastic! And see Tate on tour! We just want her TWO HANDS on us! Tate!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chapter 1: How did Tate McRae become a pop sensation?
Because there was like this.
is like not good like they didn't get it at the time but you were in the zone you were locked the in i was locked in two hours you wrote a song i was locked in they were like can you please shut up i was like singing so much and then like blew up overnight and just became that song that song blew up overnight like got called by like 14 record labels within like two weeks
And then all of a sudden, I was like, okay, maybe I should start songwriting more. Wow. Yeah.
But I feel like there was a time when... dance got kind of compartmentalized into something else. And then you merged the two, right?
Yeah. So, so then after eventually when I released, you broke me first at age 16, I was still in high school, finishing homeschooling and finishing everything and then doing dance on one side and then singing on the other side. And my career started to like pick up a little bit and, but I was stuck at home and COVID. So I started this like singing career, but I was like, dance is just so separate.
Like this isn't a thing that should be mixed. And so I just never knew how to connect the dots. I was just like, this will be the one side of me. And then the other side of me is just a thing of the past. And then obviously as I grew up, like 17, 18, 19, I was just like, something is like really missing. And then I ended up like being like, I want to do pop more intensely. And yeah.
And so then I feel like I've like finally found a perfect mesh of like dance and singing.
So what happened at SNL was you came in on Thursdays to rehearse.
Yeah, what happened? I want to know your perspective.
