Imagine finding out Taylor Swift loves your song and your immediate reaction is“no shot.”That’s Tate McRae’s story. The Canadian pop star stopped by The Tonight Show Wednesday and told Jimmy Fallon that when her phone started blowing up with texts about Swift praising“Tit for Tat,”she refused to believe it until she found the actual clip.
The praise came during Swift’s own Tonight Show appearance in October 2025, when she called“Tit for Tat”a great song and admitted she had no idea McRae even knew her music. So what we have here is a full circle mutual fan moment between two of pop’s biggest names, and nobody planned a single second of it.
The good news keeps coming for McRae fans. Her new single“Housewife”drops Thursday, October 15, with a music video shot in the South of France. She described the track as being about a woman who can’t be contained, and hinted that fans keep missing the Easter eggs she sneaks in about new music. Her last album, So Close to What, hit number one on the Billboard 200 in February 2025, so expectations are already sky high.
Which are you more hyped for: the“Housewife”sound or the South of France video? Let us know!
