Tate McRae Reflects on Comparisons to Britney Spears: 'Flattering and Scary'

The Canadian pop star addresses the comparisons as she releases her third album, 'So Close to What,' and prepares for an 80-date world tour.

Tate McRae, 21, says comparisons to Britney Spears are both 'flattering and scary,' acknowledging the pop icon as an unparalleled blueprint in music and dance.
McRae's third studio album, 'So Close to What,' released on February 21, features collaborations with Ryan Tedder and Lostboy, receiving praise for its dance-pop sound reminiscent of early 2000s icons.
The album faced an early leak online, prompting McRae to add new songs in an effort to regain creative control before its official release.
McRae will embark on an 80-date world tour starting next month, with presale tickets available for select customers beginning February 25.
The singer continues to draw inspiration from pop legends like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, incorporating choreography-driven visuals into her music videos.
