Tate maintains that the most pressure she feels is not from outside sources, but within. She uses it to fuel her fire. "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 The Star. "Self-awareness—being in tune with your emotions—may sound fairly straightforward and simple. But people tend to overestimate their level of self-awareness," says Harvard Health. "Of course, we're all deeply emotional beings. Even if you think you're in touch with your emotions—perhaps you're someone who cries or laughs easily—you may not recognize the full spectrum of all your feelings without digging a little deeper."

Tate has been dancing since she was young. "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."

Tate has confessed that she started struggling with body image issues at a young age. "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 explained to Fashion. While at ballet school, "they would take measurements of every single part of my body at age nine," she added. "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. 

Tate strives for self-love and acceptance. "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," she added to Fashion. "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."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Tate dished to Fashion that she enjoys spending time in the kitchen. "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. 

"I think the biggest issue right now is… everyone is so embarrassed and nervous to put things out because they think it's gonna be weird or they're worried about how other people are gonna think of them. I think that's the most lame thing ever because the internet is so toxic," Tate, who rose to fame by sharing videos of herself singing on the internet, told Seventeen. "If you love something and you're passionate about it, the coolest thing you can do is put yourself out there and let other people appreciate what you love. A lot of people write all these songs or create all this art and then they just get so scared to put it out because of how others are gonna react. Yeah, you're putting yourself out there for people to judge you, but that's what's gonna happen — you could also get the most incredible response too or make a career out of it. I think it's so sad that people are judgy about things being 'cringe' or things being embarrassing because nothing should be embarrassing if you really love it and it makes you happy."

Tate has a few ways she deals with stress. "I feel less pressure from the internet and from outside people. I just feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself mentally. And the only way to dodge that is to sometimes completely not think about anything music-related or anything. It's nice to just do normal things and realize that there's [life] outside of the industry," she told Paper. She also revealed that talking to her loved ones is another great stress reliever.
