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

[@rhas20]

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

[@nunninkav]

They want it out before Christmas

[@DeBlauweOlifant]

No it was definitely better to use the hype from Greedy

[@EzraMayer-d1i]

If Tate sees this I’m sorry to hurt her feelings but I think guts was better when I first listened to that album then this one

[@rhas20]

@@EzraMayer-d1i I agree. Guts is my favorite album of the year. But Think Later is a very strong album. I think it’s better than her debut album

[@WishyNathan]

guts was very weak compared to olivias first album. very...@@rhas20

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.

[@bye.7613]

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.

[@khari74]

I watched solely to hear her perspective on tiktok. Very refreshing and she's so young!

[@gurmindersingh660]

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!

[@sillygoose6.6]

I feel exactly the same and agree with you on everything!❤ Such a lovely person!❤

[@IFHAM1942]

Awww, best dad ever

[@laurenceboucher4688]

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

[@raylynne5280]

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!!

[@paul-anthony3737]

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.

[@janjannn05]

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

[@michaelmiceli54]

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!

[@NEESHiMinaj]

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

[@maruad7577]

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.

[@Chief]

She seems so sweet

[@talilata9164]

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

[@acedegenerate9654]

Her comment about TikTok makes me like her even more.

[@carolmurphy7572]

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

[@katecosette]

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!

[@thinkinglater]

when she was talking about grave🥺🥺🥺

[@kaliyah005]

so proud of tate

[@emanuelgiuliano1621]

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

[@omelasbaby]

loved this interview and i especially loved hearing tate talk about grave since it was one of my favorites from the album before i even knew how much it meant to her

[@yummyki]

Love how she took us through all the feelings n processes. 💛

[@r_ramir3z]

Tate Is Simply Perfection! Such an amazing human! ❤

[@arothmanmusic]

Cool to hear that Timbaland / Furtado was an influence. I definitely picked that up in listening to it and wondered if it was intentional.

[@TrapGod9]

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

[@subawijeratna6158]

she is amazing! wishing her nothing but the best!❤

[@aboutsturnt8]

Great interview ❤

[@maxzytaruk8558]

She's so grateful ❤❤❤

[@katherinequinnfilms]

luv her, she seems so humble!

[@janjannn05]

Loveee her new albuuum!

[@solitarymaninblack]

I think this woman was being interviewed on Radio 1. Nice talking voice. She is attractive.

[@conoremahoney]

She seems very genuine

[@NightOwl_30]

Tik Tok ruined music. Some songs now are 1:30 min long for stupid people with a low attention span.

[@DeBlauweOlifant]

Thats not the reason, they are short so that you’ll replay them more. Which generates more streams

[@nunninkav]

No chorus, no verse, no intro, no outro, no bridge, no real beat just a clicking fake hi-hat, very limited lyrics. Music for the stupid for sure.

[@zeroceiling]

There is hope after all. Tik Tok is certainly poised to kill music. To think that some of the original projects from way back in the 60’s / 70’s such as Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon…would never get made in the age of TT. And to be fair..even then..Pink Floyd was already feeling the heat to cut their length of their songs down…from the producers… I don’t want to be stuck in that era…but there are more recent projects like Nightwish…that are also completely antithetical to what TT present to the average user.

[@angelicaamora11]

I love her view for making music, and seeing tiktok not the be-all of music.

[@SteveO303]

I love Tate, sooooo beautiful xx

[@Farhaan_Enigmatic]

She is fantastic ❤

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

she looks French Canadian but she isn't. Interesting! Anyways she is giving me major 2000s pop star vibes and I love it! I was a kid in that time so it gives me a lot of nostalgia and I hope she continues down the diva path. I enjoyed her ballads on canadian radio stations but she is CLEARLY in her comfort zone when she is really giving us a pop diva moment on stage with an uptempo track

[@alexreax1230]

I love her so much, best soul

[@thestar8404]

I totally agree 13:40

[@Harpie.]

I wonder if we didn’t get the Max Martin songs because of how quickly the album was put out or maybe it felt too formulaic and not authentic. Perhaps we’ll get them on a deluxe version.

Tate's on the verge of superstardom, why is she still living with her parents?

[@gabalab7566]

She’s not. She has been living by herself in LA for the past 3 years. Her parents live in Calgary but probably just came to SNL to support her

[@lillacss]

That has nothing to do with helping your parents out and being close to them.

[@YousirArdume]

@@lillacss that is pretty awesome, though. I think it might partially be a Canadian thing, because you wouldn't see an American kid doing that...

[@janab.7037]

she is not haha she lives in LA whereas her parents live in Canada

[@YousirArdume]

@@janab.7037 how do you know? This doesn't look like a master bedroom. It literally looks like a teenager's room at Mom's house...

i dont like this interviewer kinda weird and creepy

how?

an industry plant talking about the death of art lmao

found a jealous hater right here

[@japanesecinema6736]

Stop with autotune and pitch correction. I hate all the Ryan Tedder produced tracks. You need to find a better producer.

[@OfTheiAm]

I admit, Ithought you were a tiktok artist but i realized you have been in the game @tatemcrae +TateMcrae but after i seen you are bringing 2000's dance back, true talent, every every every artist should learn DANCE it sets you APART! I Wish this was your channel so you can see the props i want you to understand you deserve 😇 Godbless You are going to go far, NEVER let yourself get into the haters and the "cance; culture" People are going to HATE ANYONE who is awesome look what htey did to britney, I'm a dude and i would never listen to these songs normally but your video choreography , And as a christian i can listen to this on the radio and jam, and a lot of masculine guys are listening tate AND FOR YOU MSUIC NOT LOOKS! VERY DEEP LYRICS , relateable, you will go sooooo far as long as you don't even bother apologizing for the cancel stuff everyone wants to do, NEVER NEVER NEVER APOLOGIZE, those people just tear you apart more when you do, they feel like they won, And late millenials, and zillenials , gen z like me are SICK of the POLITICS, we will rally behind you, and you can be independent if the record label tried to drop you if you didn't apologize DON'T FALL INTO THE TRAP! I legit have seen so many mistakes artists do to not only please them , not get dropped or appease the loud minority of twitter pc people who were never fans in the first place!!!!! PLUS IT IS SO BAD A^^ YOU WILL HAVE ALL OF US CHEARING AND GAIN SOOOO MUCH RESPECT, you are dope tate you introduced me to songs i'd never listened to made me not make assumptions about songs on tik tok because like you never started from there, I have a following on music and my brother is blowing up in cali , i wish we could collab but of course its understandable to be like ummm... idk you dude or your following or views, MAN if you did a christain rap pop with us which is what we do, me and lil bro emilio same last name sarabia your style, dancing, OH YOU SAID GOD! JUST REALIZED, please make a small song with us!!! haha i'll send you a track --- to the person on the channel , send this to her!!! search EMILIO SARABIA SPOTIFY if you want to see his new album!! we do christian rap and music, IT IS VERY POPULAR RIGHT NOW, we can do it in a way that matches our brands and your record label wouldn't freak out and just be praising the lord!
