Tate McRae Details Bond With Olivia Rodrigo: ‘We’re Just Friends Who Like to Sing’ (Exclusive)
Updated on: July 24, 2024
Tate McRae is a big supporter of strong female friendships — and her bond with Olivia Rodrigo is no exception.
“I love Olivia. I love all my girlfriends,” McRae, 21, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, noting that people “think way harder into things than we do” and try to read into any interaction between the musicians.
The “Greedy” singer confesses that she and Rodrigo, 21, have always been each other’s cheerleaders, not rivals.
“We’re just friends who like to sing,” McRae says. “We’re all supporting each other and want to go to each other’s concerts and want to listen to each other’s music.”

She explains, “There’s not much beef outside of that. I think people try to make up things that are never true and we just think it’s hilarious.”
When push comes to shove, the Canadian musician tells Us she thinks it’s “sick when we can just all do our own thing and love each other’s stuff.” McRae adds, “You don’t have to overthink it any more than that.”
McRae and Rodrigo’s friendship has been making headlines since 2023 when McRae appeared in Rodrigo’s “bad idea, right?” music video alongside their mutual friends Iris Apatow and Madison Hu.
