\n\tTate McRae:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIs a Ferrari a sports car? I like a Ferrari. Sometimes it can be a bit of a mind f\u2014. I remember crying on my 21st birthday. Creation is supposed to be from a place of total freedom. I mean, my team is f\u2014ing chaotic, like, we have very ambitious shoots. We want to do everything in the world. And I\u2019m also just like a bulldog on music. I\u2019m just like, \u2018Let\u2019s get everything done.\u2019 I don\u2019t need a lunch break. Like, let\u2019s just go. Everyone\u2019s screaming at me, like, whip your hair. No, it\u2019s like, it\u2019s literally chaotic. The last set of the day, and it was the tank, and we were shooting the whole thing on film. So we only had so much left. And the director, my creative director, my hairstylist, everyone went like, \u201cwhip your head, dance!\u201d And then eventually, like my- I dunked my whole head underwater. My whole wig fell off. And I was like \u201cguys, this is literally insane.\u201d What do I need\u00a0in the studio? As long as I just have a person that doesn\u2019t make me feel awkward, then I can write a good song. If I have people who are open to like the worst ideas ever, I feel like I\u2019ll usually spit out good stuff, but if there\u2019s a judgy crowd or energy in the room, it\u2019s like literally one of the most dreadful processes of all time. I knew I wanted to put \u201cSports Car\u201d out, mostly because I felt like it was a big swing for me as a dancer, and I could really see that song visually.<\/p>\n

\n\tKeep watching for more!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
