Fiona: Sorry. I was feeling a bit greedy today

Aleena: Why is that?

Fiona: Well, obviously, because we're talking about Tate McRae. 

Aleena: Tate McRae. Okay! I’m fine with that.

Fiona: Tate McRae was born on July 1, 2003, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She used to be a dancer. Fun fact: she was the first Canadian finalist on the American reality TV show “So You Think You Can Dance.”  In 2017, she released her debut single “One Day.” That debut went viral.

Segment 2:  Career 

Fiona: In 2020, she released Too Young to be Sad. She gained her popularity with the song “You broke me first.” For those who don’t know that song, it goes like this.. “Now suddenly you're asking for it back. Could you tell me where you get that verse?” 

Aleena: Yeah, I heard about that song. 

Fiona: Currently, it has over 2.5 billion streams. After its release, it was the longest-charting song on the Billboard 200 for weeks.

Segment 3: Opinions

Fiona: My best friend, Kallista, got me into Tate McRae, so a big thank you to her. I love Tate McRae’s music, and I found it interesting how she started off as a dancer because I used to be a dancer too. 

Aleena: I lowkey don’t really listen to her, but from the songs that I heard, it’s honestly not worth all the hype. But after Fiona wouldn’t stop talking about her, I guess now I have to try listening to her again.

Fiona: Yeah, I guess you do, and lmk if you like her.

Aleena: Hmm, maybe, but probably not. 

Fiona: Thank everyone for listening.

Fiona: Hints for our next artist: Rapper, Album named Take Care.
