Tate McRae on Being a Pop Star and Still in High School

Tate McRae, 18, became a breakout star while still in high school, and explained to guest host tWitch how she performed at the European Music Awards, and how at the same time she was scolded by her mom to study for her midterms! She also talked with tWitch about their dance history together, shooting and editing the music video for her hit "you broke me first" on her phone, and admitted to being scared to perform for the first time at upcoming summer festivals.

I love how he DID NOT sleep on her dance training, she is an incredible dancer. She won the dance awards 3 times probably would’ve won again if she didn’t become a huge star. she also went to a ballet school and won Yagp one of the biggest ballet competitions in the world. She’s definitely one of the best the competition world has seen to date.

She really needs to go back for that fourth title though. Should’ve went this year lol

[@evelyyncrazlyyn]

I remember years ago I saw this video of her song "oh it's impossible to get you off my mind, I think about a 100 thoughts and you are 99" and that exact phrase has been stuck in my head since. Months ago I realized this is her now. Couldn't be more proud and excited to know I was there when she was just starting

[@cindyesquero8726]

Accidentally found her on Instagram when she was 11 and have been following her dance and singing journey ever since! Love her, hope she makes it big!
