Tate McRae shocked after Taylor Swift shouts her out on TV
Taylor Swift just gave Calgary’s own Tate McRae a major shoutout on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
During her appearance on the late-night show promoting her album The Life of a Showgirl, Jimmy Fallon asked Swift what the last song she listened to by another artist was. Without missing a beat, she said, “Tate McRae has a great new song called ‘Tit for Tat.’ You gotta listen to it.”
Fallon followed up, “It’s good?”
“Full volume, over and over again on repeat, it’s just so good,” Swift said, raving about the Calgary singer’s track.
Unsurprisingly, McRae quickly shared the moment with her fans, posting a clip from the show to her Instagram story and adding a caption that showed her excitement and appreciation.

The Calgary-born singer has been steadily building her career, releasing hits like “Greedy,” “You Broke Me First,” and “Sports Car.” She recently won two MTV Video Music Awards for Song of the Summer and Best Editing.
Among her growing list of hits, the song mentioned by Swift, “Tit for Tat,” has already gained massive popularity, racking up over 40 million streams in under two weeks and becoming McRae’s third Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit.
Swift, one of the best-selling artists of all time, with multiple Grammy wins and a massive global following, has a long history of supporting young talent in the industry.
On her exceptionally popular, record-breaking Eras Tour, Swift chose a range of openers, including smaller artists such as Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers, allowing them to showcase their music to massive audiences.
