Tatum Rosner "Tate" McRae (born July 1, 2003) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and dancer. At the age of thirteen, she gained prominence as the first Canadian finalist on the American reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance. McRae caught the attention of RCA Records in 2019 after her original song "One Day" (2017) went viral on YouTube, subsequently releasing her debut EP, All the Things I Never Said, in January 2020.

Early life

Tatum Rosner McRae was born in Calgary on July 1, 2003, to a Canadian father of Scottish and Omani descent and a German mother.[3][8] At age four, she moved with her family to Oman where her mother taught dance lessons.[8][9] McRae began doing recreational ballet training at age six.[9][10] Upon her return to Calgary in 2011 at age eight, she began dancing competitively with Drewitz Dance Productions, before eventually partaking in lessons at Alberta Ballet Company.[11][10][12]

Career

2013–2018: Competitive dance

Shortly after McRae began dancing competitively, she was awarded Best Female Dancer in the "Mini" category at the 2013 Dance Awards in New York City.[13] After gaining some prominence,[14] she became a brand ambassador for the American dance manufacturer Capezio.[9] She became a finalist at the New York City Dance Alliance's 2014 National Gala.[15]

In 2015, McRae was awarded a two week scholarship at the Berlin State Ballet company after winning the silver medal at the 2015 Youth America Grand Prix.[12][16] She danced in the music video for Walk off the Earth's platinum-certified single "Rule The World".[13] For the second time, McRae was awarded her Best Female Dancer award at the 2015 Dance Awards, this time in the "Junior" category.[17] McRae had been a consistently active voice actress for the Lalaloopsy franchise, voicing the part of "Spot Splatter Splash" since the show's inception in 2013.[18]

In April 2016, McRae performed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as part of the DancerPalooza troupe.[19] She performed again in October 2016 as part of the Jump Dance Convention troupe.[20] She also performed with Justin Bieber as part of his Purpose World Tour in June 2016, before taking part in the thirteenth season of American television show So You Think You Can Dance.[21] While competing for the America's Favorite Dancer title as a non-American, she was mentored by American dancer and actress Kathryn McCormick.[22] She advanced further in the competition than any other Canadian in the show's history, placing third on the final episode.[23] Canadian TV host Murtz Jaffer from Toronto Sun reacted, "The fact that Canadians couldn’t vote for Tate makes her third-place finish all the more impressive. While she might not have been voted America’s favourite dancer, she certainly might be Canada’s."[24] She performed at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards as a finalist from the SYTYCD cast.[25] For the third time, she won Best Female Dancer at the 2018 Dance Awards in Las Vegas, this time in the "Teen" category.[26]

2018–present: Music

Since its creation in 2011, McRae's YouTube channel has featured a fairly consistent stream of primarily dance videos. In 2017 she started a "Create With Tate" video series, focused on showcasing original songs she wrote and recorded in her bedroom.[27] Her upload of the series' first song "One Day" attracted over 32 million views, prompting her to self-release the song as an independent single.[28][3] Over the course of 2018, McRae continued to upload and release independent singles as part of her "Create With Tate" series. The series led to her being named a YouTube "Artist on the Rise".[29]

Her earlier upload of "One Day" caught the attention of RCA Records, where she signed in August 2019.[30] Following her signing, McRae announced her debut EP All the Things I Never Said (stylized in all lowercase) in December 2019.[31] She released the five-track EP on January 24, 2020 and announced her first headlining tour of Europe and North America.[32] Each stop on the tour was sold out.[33] The EP's lead single, "Tear Myself Apart", was co-written by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell,[32] and together with "All My Friends Are Fake" has amassed over 10 million streams online.[31] The EP's final single, "Stupid" clocked 4 million Spotify streams in December 2019,[34] and charted in Ireland and Canada, earning significant radio airplay performance in the latter.[35] Each song on the EP is also stylized in lowercase.[33]

McRae's debut single "One Day" was certified Gold in Canada in April 2020, making it the first certification of her career.[36] That same month, she released the single "You Broke Me First" amid the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, ahead of her second EP which is yet to be titled.[37] The second single from the EP, "Vicious" featuring American rapper Lil Mosey, was released in mid-June 2020.[38] In July 2020, McRae was nominated for the MTV Video Music Award for Push Best New Artist.[39] She also performed during the pre-show for the ceremony in August 2020.[40] That month, she uploaded an original song titled "Don't Be Sad", which was inspired by her life and amassed over 170,000 views in one day. The commercially re-released version served as the third single off her upcoming EP, which is due to be released in early 2021.[29] In September 2020, she made her first-ever music publication cover on that month's Dork Magazine issue.[41] McRae performed "You Broke Me First" at the pre-show for the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2020,[42][43] after the song had gained popularity on the video-sharing platform TikTok and was commercially successful internationally. By September 2020, the song had accumulated over 150 million streams and became her first single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.[44] It currently has over 250 million streams on Spotify alone. The song became an international hit, peaking within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Belgium (Flanders), Finland, Malaysia, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland, Singapore, Sweden and the United Kingdom, becoming her debut charting song in all except the Republic of Ireland. She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on October 21 performing "You Broke Me First".[45]

Reception

McRae has been described as "the teen dance star turned future pop idol" by i-D,[46] "Canada's answer to Billie Eilish" by Elle,[47] and "one of pop’s bright young hopes" by The Independent.[48] She has over 2.76 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, as of October 28, 2020.

Personal life

As of early 2020, McRae attended Western Canada High School. She eventually had to revert to online school due to her busy schedule.[27][49]
