Britney Spears has interviewed Tate McRae. Yeah, you heard us right. The Gen Z pop star was blessed by the Queen and we’re breaking down the quotes. Thank you V magazine. As Tate McRae graces their cover, they somehow got Britney Spears to chat with her. Tate has been compared to the pop star because of her electric performances. And we even asked her about it.
Tetris Kelly:
Is that a compliment to you? Do you look up to Britney?
Tate McRae:
Obviously it’s such an honor. Um, I mean, I literally adore her, I read her book. I literally just love everything about her, I’ve watched all her performances and her videos and yeah, I think she’s an icon.
Tetris Kelly:
But now she’s questioned by the Queen herself. Britney stated, “You’re an incredible performer. I’ve seen some of your performances and each one continues to top the next. Where do you find inspiration?” With Tate responding, “That means so much coming from you. One of my favorite parts of the process is playing around and finding new variations of each song- I feel like that always inspires new choreography and a different feeling. However, looking back at iconic performances (like yours) is also very motivating.” And when Britney asked, “What is the hardest part of being an artist of your stature at this point?” Tate said,”I would say the pressure I put on myself. I have been a perfectionist my entire life, so sometimes the hyper-critical thoughts can fully consume you. I try to trust my gut as much as possible and not take in that many outside opinions.” Would you say the crown has been passed? Let us know in the comments.
