1. She Pushes Herself

In an interview with The Star, Tate confessed that her pressure for success only comes from within and she uses it as fuel. “I feel like most of the pressure that I feel usually comes from myself and wanting to do better as an artist myself,” she told them.

2. She Dances

Prior to becoming a singer, Tate was a dancer. “If you don’t already know, I love to dance. I’ve been dancing all my life. I can’t wait for my live shows coming up so everyone can see that I’m not just a singer or just a dancer, I’m both,” she told Refinery 29. “I started dancing around the age of 6. It began as a hobby that I was definitely not seriously interested in. I loved performing, but hated when I actually had to do what I was told,” she added to Everly. “I only started getting serious when my mom took me to New York at age 8. I was extremely inspired and motivated! It gave me something to work toward and was the moment when I realized I wanted to dance for the rest of my life. From then on, I have been training nonstop and am always pushing myself to my greatest potential.”

3. She Has Struggled with Body Image Issues

Tate has been staring at her body since she was a child. “It’s really difficult because I would see myself every single day since the age of seven in a high-cut leotard and tights. So you’d be staring at yourself in a mirror for eight hours a day, judging your body. Sometimes I feel delusional because I’m like, “I have no idea what my body looks like,” she told Fashion. “I used to go to ballet schools in Germany and they would take measurements of every single part of my body at age nine. At the time, I didn’t even realize how much that was messing with me mentally, but I was already thinking about my body image. No one should be thinking about their body in that kind of way at a young age,” she continued. “Even though I’m starting to convince myself to love myself, there are a lot of things that dance has brought me that make navigating fashion so much harder. Because when you feel like you don’t know what you look like, it can be hard to take risks.”

4. She Strives for Self-Acceptance

Tate strives for self-acceptance. “As a public figure, it’s hard because you’re putting yourself out there for people to judge you. I’m growing up and my body’s changing every single day. And while I’m just trying to accept my own body, so are millions of other people on the internet,” she told Fashion.

5. She Loves to Cook and Eat

Tate hasn’t revealed many details about her diet, but she told Fashion that she loves to cook. “I don’t usually watch a lot of TV, but when I do, I’m obsessed with cooking shows. My favorite food [is] Brussels sprouts or dark chocolate,” she said. She added to Refinery 29 that she has one go-to comfort food: Toast.
