Pop star Tate McRae reflects in a Variety interview on adjusting to fame following her sold-out "Miss Possessive" world tour, which spanned 88 dates and grossed more than $100 million. Having recently relocated from Los Angeles to New York, the 23-year-old singer discusses finding a sense of anonymity and normality in her new city, even as she draws comparisons to earlier pop stars who struggled under intense public scrutiny.

In the profile, McRae describes settling into life in NoHo, taking up hot Pilates, reading Sidney Sheldon's thriller "Master of the Game", and learning to cook simple meals such as ground turkey, eggs and air-fried sweet potatoes. She recounts watching a Knicks play-off game at Madison Square Garden with friend Hailey Bieber, and admits she barely remembers the final show of her tour at Los Angeles' Kia Forum, joking about the toll such an intense schedule has taken on her memory. The piece also touches on her approach to journalling as a way of maintaining her sense of identity amid growing fame.
