Well.... it's because she' the best popstar in the 2020's in terms of performing. She has 0 competition as all the girls pretty much whisper and write horrible lyrics and go on to put a snoozefest of a performance. And yes ... ALL of of the CURRENT and relevant popstars. Even though I may like alot of the younger and current popstars' work and material. But yeah the art of a performance has been lost ever since the 2010's and only she was able to bring it back

Her songs are getting better too. That is her only "weakness" as of yet. She makes great songs but needs to make excellent pop classics and she'll revive pop as we have known it in the past to be interesting and entertaining.

I really hope she ends the whole current borefest of "songwriter" popstars and " Entirely in control" pop stars. She has the opportunity to become HUGE like.... one of if not the biggest popstar of the 2020's. But that's entirely up to her and how she decides to play it moving forward. She' the best performer currently regardless though.

She's the new Britney

Funnily enough this is when I really started being sceptical of the media push she was getting because there no way she put on a better show than Sabrina but Sabrina said "gay rights" with a bunch of drag queens so they crowned Tate queen of the night.

There's no other young popstar doing it like this right now.

I love her music, voice, and performing.

I also think she's pretty average looking for a girl her age, which is refreshing to see in pop music where looks matter a lot. Her talent got her to where she is.

I like Addison's music but something about her seems unlikeable and fake. Like Addison Rae as a music artist feels like a persona, but Tate is just being herself.

Except She is not a robot, she can actually grab a mic and perform live , talk with her fans, and express her emotions

It's all about her performance and dancing more than her music...

Well yes her debut was mostly trash but who cares when SCTW is one of the best albums ever recorded?

She spent 90% of her set strutting around. I'm sorry outside of the gold bath I'm just not seeing the gag. She's obviously very technically proficient but there's no passion or creativity.

They are? She's inoffensive but she will never be the it girl

She's like a pseudo-legendary Pokemon that a niche audience will gag over, but she will never be a Legendary Pokemon or even a sub-Legendary one

I hated her first songs, but she turned me into a fan with "2 hands." I love the Lambo in the video, the melody of the song, and her dancing/raceway attire lol.

The only issues I have with Tate are...

1. She needs to show more personality. Talk more about herself, her secrets, and stuff like Zara. Show the world who Tate is and what makes her special and unique. Her controversies are always all about MAGA things, and that's not good PR.

2. I think she needs better producers. They give her some bops, but also so much filler. With her last album, I went from excited to zzzzz to excited to zzzz. Better quality control maybe? Better album artworks too. Be more polished

3. Maybe an aesthetic change would be cool too......but dont cut your hair girly

Why do you think the admins keep bringing us back?

Yes I've noticed accounts that joined 1st Jan 2014 of years back just appearing in base all of a sudden after years of inactivity as if they've been given to the discord

Anyways… weird thread. Tate McRae isn't even disliked on this site.,1 or 2 Brit loyalists don't like her. Theres legit more active Xtina stans who would like her here

Im not a fan before but those Sport car performances are gag worthy. She was hungry and we need more pop stars who perform and hungry like that

the gays in their late 20s-30s and even 40s want the next Britney so bad lbr, it happens with every major Pop girl…the next Gaga….the next Madonna….the next Rihanna…etc etc, always searching... which ends up hurting the new girlie either way.

she's just not for me and not my cup of tea and not genuine in my eyes, and that's ok. I'm learning to just say that rather than throwing shade, all the best to ha.

People are delusional, tbh. There was something highly magnetic about Britney... Like we say in Spanish, "Britney tenía ángel." You couldn't take your eyes off her. You cant replace someone like that even if they have good dancing skills. Thousands in the world tried to serve something similar to britney but they dont have the substance. Britney is a very unique type of color in this world. Her voice. Her beauty. Charisma.

Yep, those comparisons are ruining the new generation and their potential. They're always trying to find "the "" of the new generation"

When Billie debuted, I remember so many people comparing her to Avril Lavigne. I'm lowkey glad she didn't try to go down the pop-rock lane, because she probably would've been boxed in back then.

Her music could be better but her highs are great (Greedy, Sports Car, Revolving Door, Purple Lace Bra, etc), she's an excellent performer and clearly the public agrees.People want sex in pop music again in ways that artists like Billie, Olivia, Gracie, etc and even Sabrina to a different extent simply aren't doing and that's fine. Everyone has their lane.

people still living in the past and the nostalgia.

Britney was always sweet and endearing in her personality. She had charm, it was the perfect balance for her sexy image. Tate is giving nothing outside of the stage.

Edited September 2Sep 2 by Verandi

I see a lot of valid opinion. No crazy artistry, but currently there is no other artist giving HOT popstar.

No one does choreo anymore, unless you are a Korean Idol.

She's Dua Lipa for American girls that do solidcore. She just comes off as aspirationally beautiful/cool for that brand of Big 10 sorority girls.

This is probably one of the more accurate descriptions of why her appeal is broader than the other dance girls. The portion of her fandom that is solely there for her dancing is way less than people think.

90% of her fandom is straight Gen Z girls who don't care about her being « the next Britney » Her gay fans are not moving the needle at all on her career. And millennial gays definitely don't stan her so this is very inaccurate.

She's protecting her sanity. Pop girls aren't allowed to speak their minds off stage anymore because stans will slaughter them.

She makes music for 16-21 year old girls. What is the body politic of ATRL to do with this?
