Tate McRae Says Britney Spears Comparisons Are ‘Flattering and Scary’

Tate McRae says the frequent Britney Spears comparisons she gets are 'flattering and scary,' saying the 'Piece of Me' singer is 'the blueprint.'

Making the rounds promoting her just released third LP, So Close to What, McRae is not shying away from the Spears talk, while also telling the U.K.’s Independent that she’s also feeling “so much more confident in my taste and the way I am as a person” these days. Noting that she started writing music when she was just 16 and “knew nothing,” McRae said that her 2022 debut album, I Used to Think I Could Fly, feels like a lifetime ago. McCrae teams up with her boyfriend, singer The Kid Laroi, on the new album, a tricky scenario she recently described as an unexpected treat.
