Tate McRae went from a competitive-dance kid in Calgary to one of pop’s most-streamed young stars — and her physicality on stage is half the reason, built on years of elite dance training. She was born on July 1, 2003, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which makes her 23 in 2026.
Her height: there is no officially confirmed measurement. Bio outlets list her at 5’7″ (170 cm) to 5’8″ (173 cm), with those two figures as the clear consensus and one thin page’s 5’4″ as the lone outlier. No label bio or verified interview gives an exact number, so the honest answer is the band — and this article shows where each listing comes from before covering her career, income, net worth, and family.

Height
The lead question, answered with full transparency: no official height exists.
| Source | Listed height | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HamariWeb | 5’8″ (173 cm) | Stated as a plain fact |
| TheFortuneDaily | 5’8″ (1.73 m) | Stated as a plain fact |
| 360Dopes | 5’8″ | Older page; other facts are stale |
| BiographyStart | 5’7″ (~170 cm) | Presented as approximate |
| ILoveBillie | 5’7″ (~1.72 m) | Presented as approximate |
| UrbanSmarters | 5’6″–5’8″ (168–173 cm) | Gives a band, the most honest format |
| TheInsightUSA | ~5’7″, “some outlets closer to 5’4″” | Acknowledges the outlier |
The defensible reading: about 5’7″ to 5’8″ is the real consensus across every reasonably maintained page; the 5’4″ outlier appears on a single thin site and has no company. None of these numbers comes from a primary source — Tate McRae has never published her height. The same unreliability runs through celebrity listings generally, which is why other musician profiles on this site treat height claims the same way: reported, never asserted.
Bio, Age & Early Life
McRae’s childhood was split between Canada and the Middle East, and almost entirely organized around dance.

Early Life & Background
Tate Rosner McRae was born on July 1, 2003, in Calgary, to Todd McRae, an oil-and-gas professional, and Tanja Rosner, a dance instructor who owns the YYC Dance Project. The family relocated to Oman for several years because of her father’s work — she attended the American International School in Muscat before the family returned to Calgary.
She trained intensively from the age of six at her mother’s studio and the School of Alberta Ballet, competing in contemporary and jazz and winning Dance Awards titles across categories; at the 2015 Youth America Grand Prix she took a silver medal as a soloist. Dance, in other words, wasn’t a hobby — it was the profession she was headed for before music intervened.
Career
Her career has three acts: the dancer who almost chose the stage, the bedroom-pop songwriter who went viral, and the arena pop star. The three-act shape is the modern pop template — Renee Rapp ran the Broadway version of the same climb.

The Dancer Who Went Viral
At thirteen, McRae competed on So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation in 2016, becoming the first Canadian finalist in the show’s history and finishing third — a genuine achievement that made her a name in the dance world first. She performed as a backup dancer for Justin Bieber’s “Children” during his Calgary tour stop the same year.
Starting around 2017 she began uploading original songs to YouTube; “One Day” went viral, and she signed with RCA Records (widely reported as 2019). The dance background never left: her live shows are built around her own choreography, and the “Exes” dance broke TikTok in 2023–24 the way her music broke radio.
The Pop Breakthrough
“You Broke Me First” (2020) was the turning point — her first Billboard Hot 100 entry — followed by the EPs All the Things I Never Said (2020) and Too Young to Be Sad (2021), the latter reportedly the most-streamed female EP of 2021 on Spotify. Her debut album I Used to Think I Could Fly arrived in 2022, then Think Later in December 2023, led by “Greedy,” which reached #1 on the Billboard Global 200 in September 2023 and became her first Top 10 hit. She won Juno Artist of the Year (reportedly in both 2024 and 2025) and Single of the Year for “Greedy,” and appeared on the Forbes 30 Under 30 music list.
Her third album, So Close to What (February 21, 2025, via RCA), debuted at #1 on the US Billboard 200 — her first chart-topping album — supported by singles “It’s OK I’m OK,” “2 Hands,” “Sports Car,” and “Revolving Door.” The Miss Possessive Tour that followed was the commercial peak of her career so far: per figures reported to Billboard Boxscore and covered by TicketNews, it closed in November 2025 with $110.8 million grossed and 1 million tickets sold across 77 shows — roughly 500% growth over her 2024 touring numbers. For perspective on how fast a young catalog can scale, stray-kids-net-worth covers another act whose touring revenue reshaped its financial profile.
Income Sources
No verified personal income figures exist — she has never disclosed her finances. What is public is the mix.
| Income source | Details |
|---|---|
| Touring | Miss Possessive Tour: ~$110.8M gross (Billboard Boxscore via TicketNews); her per-show revenue grew ~$27K (2022) to ~$1.4M (2025) — tour gross, not her take-home |
| Streaming & royalties | 8.4B+ career streams (reported by TheFortuneDaily); songwriting catalog income — she writes most of her songs |
| Record sales & publishing | RCA releases; publishing rights on her catalog |
| Brand endorsements | Reported endorsement activity; no deal terms public |
The honest caveat: tour gross is not artist income — venues, production, promoters, and the label take most of it before the artist sees her share. The 500%-growth narrative is real and documented, but translating it into her personal wealth is guesswork.
Net Worth
No verified net worth figure exists for Tate McRae — she has disclosed nothing, and no filings cover her.
| Source | Reported estimate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TheInsightUSA | ~$4M | Explicitly “an industry estimate rather than a hard number” |
| HamariWeb | ~$4M | No methodology shown |
| TheFortuneDaily | ~$4M (2025) | No methodology shown |
| UrbanSmarters | ~$4M–$6M (2026) | Calls it an estimate |
| BiographyStart | ~$5M (2026) | No methodology shown |
| ILoveBillie | ~$5M | Rambling page; claims a Forbes report with no link |
| 360Dopes | ~$2M | Old page (updated ~2021); stale |
The defensible reading is an attributed band of roughly $4–5 million — where the current, reasonably maintained pages converge — and nothing more precise. The $2 million figure is from an old page and belongs to an earlier era of her career; the $6 million top end is a single page’s stretch.
What is verifiable is the documented touring scale ($110.8M gross on one tour) and the growing catalog — the ingredients of a rising fortune, not a measured one. Like other musician profiles here, the responsible position is an attributed range. More young pop fortunes with the tour-gross caveat stated are tracked at Net Worth Worlds.
Family & Personal Life
McRae’s family is publicly documented and unusually stable for a young pop star’s story. Her mother, Tanja Rosner, is a German-born dance instructor and owner of the YYC Dance Project in Calgary — effectively the architect of her dance career. Her father, Todd McRae, of Scottish descent, works in oil and gas.
Her older brother Tucker is a Division I hockey player (reported at Dartmouth), and the siblings are described as close; her multicultural household — Scottish-Canadian father, German mother — is something she has referenced in her songwriting. She graduated from Western Canada High School online in 2021 to accommodate her schedule.
On relationships: she has been reported to be dating fellow pop star The Kid LAROI, with whom she collaborated on “I Know Love” from So Close to What — but she keeps her private life out of interviews, and thin-page claims about her love life should be treated as reported-only. She posts primarily under @tatemcrae on Instagram and TikTok.
Conclusion
Tate McRae has no officially confirmed height — the maintained pages converge on 5’7″ to 5’8″, with a lone 5’4″ outlier — and no verified net worth, with current estimates at roughly $4–5 million and the $2 million figure gone stale.
The documented career is three acts: the first Canadian finalist on So You Think You Can Dance at thirteen in 2016, the viral bedroom-pop breakthrough of ‘You Broke Me First’ in 2020, and the arena era that followed, ‘Greedy’ included. Born July 1, 2003 in Calgary and 23 in 2026, she is the dance instructor’s daughter who turned elite physical training into half her stage act — and none of the numbers attached to her are audited.
