Tate McRae Gets Candid About Singing for Boyfriend The Kid LAROI: “Can You, Like, Not Listen?”
In a recent interview, singer-songwriter Tate McRae opened up about the experience of performing in front of her boyfriend, rapper The Kid LAROI, for the first time. Despite her stage experience, McRae admitted to feeling nervous during this intimate performance. She humorously recalled asking him, “Can you, like, not listen?” as she began to sing. This candid moment highlights the vulnerability that can accompany sharing one’s art with loved ones, even for seasoned performers.
McRae and The Kid LAROI’s relationship has been in the public eye since they began dating following McRae’s split from Columbus Blue Jackets player Cole Sillinger in 2023. The couple has shared several memorable experiences, including a close encounter with a whale during a summer trip. McRae recounted that the whale surfaced just ten feet away from them, making it a standout moment of their vacation.
As McRae continues to navigate her rising fame, she remains committed to protecting her creativity. She shared that her “number one” rule is to avoid Googling herself, aiming to maintain focus on her artistic journey without external influences. This dedication has contributed to her recent successes, including multiple wins at Canada’s Juno Awards, where she secured four out of five nominations.
These personal and professional milestones underscore McRae’s growth as an artist and individual, highlighting her ability to balance vulnerability and confidence in both her personal life and burgeoning music career.
