Tate McRae, a pop star that has risen to fame with her catchy songs and incredible dance moves, has developed a mass following over the course of the past year. Her rise to fame will only continue due to her recent announcement of her “Miss Possessive” tour starting in March 2025. The announcement of this new tour comes after immediately ending her previous “Think Later” tour. McRae wasted no time booking her schedule for her next world tour, furthering her dominance in the music industry.
McRae first came into the public eye in 2016 on season 13 of the reality show “So You Think You Can Dance,” where she ended up placing third overall in the competition. McRae has a hefty background in dance and started to compete in competitions at 8-years-old. She has received numerous dance accolades throughout her years of being a competitive dancer in all genres, which is shown through the elaborate dances featured in her live performances. Many in the dance world looked up to McRae because of her flawless dancing abilities and continued to support her once she transitioned into her singing career. Since initially becoming known as a dancer, many early fans discovered McRae through dance competitions and followed her on social media from there. Once McRae began putting out music, the same fans stayed loyal and followed along on her music journey.
In 2017, McRae started gaining more and more views on her YouTube channel “Create With Tate” where she posted original songs and dance videos. Her single “One Day” got a particular amount of attention, eventually leading McRae to sign with RCA Records in 2019 and launching her professional singing career. “You Broke Me First,” released in 2020, was among one of McRae’s earliest songs to reach a wide audience and go viral. The song played endlessly on radio stations and became widely used on TikTok.
In 2022, McRae released her debut studio album “I Used to Think I Could Fly,” which reached Billboard charts and advanced her path to success. McRae continued to grow as an artist after the release of her first studio album and then released her second record, “Think Later,” in 2023. Singles such as “Greedy” and “Exes” are some of her most played songs from this record, which defined her career in pop music through the popularity they gained. The “Think Later” tour that started in April 2024 raised the bar for McRae, bringing in a wider audience that she never before had.
Because of “Think Later,” McRae’s fame has reached new heights and gone even greater lengths. For her new “Miss Possessive” tour, ticket prices soared and shows were sold out, showing the dedication fans have for McRae and her work. Even after already releasing the singles “It’s OK I’m OK” and “2 Hands,” McRae has built up excitement and anticipation for the album release date in 2025 and fans are patiently sitting and waiting for more. From posting original songs on YouTube to selling out large venues, Tate McRae has a bright future awaiting her.
