\n\tBillboard Women in Music 2026 Hitmaker Award recipient Tate McRae opens up about her artistic journey, songwriting process and the raw vulnerability that drives her music. From her roots in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to the global stage, Tate shares what it means to create songs that resonate deeply with listeners. She shares the inspiration behind her hit songs \u201cGreedy,\u201d \u201cTit For Tat\u201d and \u201cSports Car, \u201d the power of manifestation and how her lyrics shape her reality, collaborating with Julia Michaels, Ryan Tedder and Amy Allen and more!<\/p>\n

\n\tTate McRae: I want people to listen to my music and feel like the best, most elevated version of themselves. That\u2019s what I approach in songwriting. I\u2019m either honing in on my deepest vulnerabilities and insecurities or I\u2019m dreaming as big as I can. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis award means a lot to me. Obviously, my true initial passion for all of this was writing, writing short stories or poetry, and starting it in my bedroom. Creating a career like this from back in my bedroom in Calgary, Alberta, is pretty crazy to me. Thinking about how much I\u2019ve done means the world to me because I\u2019m such a performer and dancer, it\u2019s always nice to be recognized for the creation part of it, \u2019cause that\u2019s all of it to me. <\/p>\n

\n\tFor me, a hit song is when all the puzzle pieces come together when the song feels like the full story has been told, there\u2019s nothing left to say, and no fine-tuning is needed. You can feel that in your chest, and the listener can feel that in their chest. The exact message comes across perfectly. That, to me, feels like a hit song. <\/p>\n

\n\tYou just have to think with the most extreme and open mind when you\u2019re writing. I say put it all out on the table when you\u2019re in the room. You don\u2019t have to release it or put it out there, but I think it\u2019s all about exhausting your emotions. That\u2019s the most beautiful thing about songwriting is going to the farthest depth of what one person can think.<\/p>\n

\n\tKeep watching for more!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
