Tate McRae may only be 22 years old but she has already taken the world by storm, garnering devoted fans all over with her catchy songs, killer dance moves and effortlessly cool style. Though she has been on the scene for years, dropping her debut studio album I Used to Think I Could Fly in 2022, there is still plenty that fans might not know about their fave. But don't be sad, you still have time to learn!

The "Sports Car" singer is from Calgary, the largest city in Alberta, Canada, with a population around 1.3 million. Other notable people from Calgary include actors Cory Monteith and Tommy Chong as well as musician sister duo Tegan and Sara.

She was born July 1, 2003, a fitting happenstance as that means the Canadian singer was born on Canada Day.

Her public dance career dates back longer than you might think, appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and in Walk Off The Earth's "Rule the World" music video before she was even a teenager, according to Canadian outlet CBC.

When she was just 12 years old, she got to dance on stage with Justin Bieber for his performance of "Children" during a stop in Canada for his Purpose Tour in 2016 after learning the choreography and submitting an audition video.

She appeared on So You Think You Can Dance when she was 13, becoming the first Canadian finalist on the American reality series, per IMDb.

McRae has experience with voice acting, lending her talents on the children's animated TV show Lalaloopsy.

When she was 4 years old, her family moved to Oman, spending three years in the Arabian peninsula country before returning to Calgary. This is where she began her recreational dance training, Buzzfeed reports.

At just 18 years old, she was the youngest musician featured in the 2021 Music class for Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.

The first song she ever recorded was "One Day," penning the track in just one hour when she was 14. She released the track in 2017 after sharing it on her YouTube channel, making it her official debut single.

After being signed by RCA Records, her first single "tear myself apart" was co-written by Billie Eilish and FINNEAS. The track was the lead single off McRae's debut EP All the Things I Never Said.

Tate McRae will be taking over the stage at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Festival presented by Capital One on September 19 and 20 in Las Vegas. Fans can tune in to the music mega even all weekend as it will be broadcast live each night via iHeartMedia radio stations throughout the country across more than 150 markets. Hulu will be the Official Streaming Destination of the festival, with performances livestreamed each night exclusively to all Hulu subscribers.
