Shownotes Transcript

It's OK, we are all VERY OK this week as Tate McRae guests on Las Culturistas! The superstar joins Matt & Bowen to discuss her thoughts on the Britney comparisons, underrated Ariana bops, little slutty glasses as top fashion accessory of 2025, training in Berlin as a ballerina and competing in So You Think You Can Dance at just thirteen years old. Also, being an "asthma legend", staging a tits-out arrest in broad daylight for a music video, songwriting with Amy Allen, Ryan Tedder and Julia Michaels, and daunting expectations when it comes to choosing THE SINGLE. All this, the Disney Channel, Hannah Montana as formative pop culture, becoming Tatiana on stage, playing with pigs in Tokyo, man bun culture, hip culture, and how Carplay often leads to conflict. You have to stream the new album So Close To What" now, it's fantastic! And see Tate on tour! We just want her TWO HANDS on us! Tate!
