Everyone knows Britney Spears, an incredible and sensational artist who dazzles fans not just with her music, but with her complicated and impressive dance moves. Well, now buzz is generating that there is a new Britney in town, and her name is Tate McRae.
Her background in dance is well-documented. She trained at the American International School Muscat and competed with Drewitz Dance Productions – all before the age of 10. She also received formal ballet training at the Alberta Ballet Company when she was 11 years old and even earned a scholarship at the Berlin State Ballet company in 2015.
McRae was first introduced to the world at the age of 13 when she was a finalist on season 13 of the American show So You Think You Can Dance in 2016. She placed third and competed longer than any other Canadian in the history of the show. “The fact that Canadians couldn’t vote for Tate makes her third-place finish all the more impressive,” stated Murtz Jaffer, Canadian TV host. “While she might not have been voted America’s favourite dancer, she certainly might be Canada’s.” Following her TV performance, McRae became a backup dancer for Justin Bieber’s song “Children” when his world tour performed in Calgary in June 2016.
In addition to dance, McRae is a talented singer. She signed with RCA Records after her song “One Day” gained popularity on YouTube. From 2017 through 2023, she continued to gain fame over time. McRae acquired another milestone when her single “Greedy” reached number one on the Billboard Global 200 list in Sept. 2023 before her second studio album Think Later was released. McRae’s hit album won Juno’s Album of the Year and was nominated for Best Pop Album. She gained much traction with her dance moves that accompanied her song “Exes.” It became a TikTok trend for dancers to emulate, and the dance broke the Internet with its impressive choreography. She knows how to entertain an audience and put on a fantastic show.
On Feb. 25, 2025, she released her third studio album So Close To What, which was her first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200. The album contains fifteen titles, one of which is the headline of her world tour, Miss Possessive. Eleven of her new songs earned recognition on the Billboard Hot 100 songs, and two of her new titles made it in the Top 40. Her lead single “Revolving Door” reached number twenty. This song blew up recently on TikTok as the music video’s dance was replicated by many users on the app. The level of difficulty the dance drew a lot of attention and only fueled her popularity as many listeners recognized her high level of talent not just with dance, but with her catchy songs too. Throughout her whole career, she has made it to the top in just about everything.
McRae has absolutely changed the game of what it means to be a pop artist today: She is bringing back complicated dance moves and catchy melodies. McRae has gained millions of fans on all social platforms since her incline of fame – Her YouTube channel currently has over 6 million subscribers! She is just now beginning her rise to the top, and her career is only in the early stages.
Her world tour Miss Possessive began in late March and will come to a close in Nov. 2025, touring all around America and Europe. For dates and tickets, click here.
