Tate McRae:
I think that’s dedication.

How is your relationship with your fans?

Tate McRae:
I feel like I’m really close to my fans. I feel like we just have a very, like, close friend vibe. They’re always, like, whenever I do performances, and I see them, I see a lot of the same people at these kinds of performances, and I feel like they just, like, make me so comfortable and calm, and it’s just the best feeling when I get to look at them and sing with them.

Why do you think “Greedy” resonated so much with your audience?

Tate McRae:
I don’t think people really expected me to release a song like this. I didn’t expect me to release it. I mean, I was deciding for forever on what song I wanted to come back from, like, a 10-month break from. And I think also, people weren’t expecting me to dance like I did in the music video. And I think it was just a little shocking, but it also just feels like a switch-up in my personality. And I think my fans are ready to see, like, a more confident, like, bad–s side of me. And yeah, it just feels very exciting starting the album, with that kind of energy, going into it.

Do you have a favorite Billboard Music Awards memory?

Tate McRae:
I am a big fan of The Weeknd. And anytime he performs, I’m a huge fan, but one of his best performances, I would say was the one with all the cars behind him and he was doing “Save Your Tears.” It was such a good show. But I also just, like, love him and all of his performances
