Laroi on what Tate McRae does that ‘makes him melt'
The Kid Laroi has revealed the one thing his pop star girlfriend Tate McRae does that makes him weak in the knees, along with a string of other gushing compliments. The 21-year-old Sydney-born star has been dating McRae since January 2024, and he opened up about his relationship with her and the admiration he has for the Canadian. When asked by Elle Magazine if there was anything the Sportscar singer does that 'just makes you melt'. 'That's easy. Every time she smiles, it makes me weak,' he said. The Girls singer also said McRae, also 21, has imparted much wisdom onto him in terms of building a successful career in the music industry. 'She's the hardest-working artist I've ever met in my entire life. And I don't say that because she's my girlfriend. Seeing how hard she works inspires and encourages me to follow along and do the same,' he said. 'There's something really, really motivating about that—and really attractive as well.' Elsewhere in the interview, Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, said that while he thinks he has 'okay style', he 'always' asks McRae for 'opinions'. 'But I think over the years I've definitely got a lot better with my personal style,' he said. 'I think I figured out what I look good in and what I don't.' Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi in Paris.

Once I got over that, I started figuring out what fits me a little better, what I look better in. I'm getting pretty dialled in.' Laroi also said the Greedy singer left him baffled when she couldn't make decisions about food. The couple recently wined and dined together in Paris with views of the Eiffel Tower, before McRae's concert for her Miss Possessive world tour. They were also spotted looking very fashionable on a day out in the City of Love which included a stop at the French Open. McRae has so far performed 16 shows since May in cities across the UK and Europe. She is set to hit the stage in Poland on Friday night. While McRae fans, known as Tatertots, have many more shows to look forward to on her tour that, at this stage, ends in November, fans of Laroi are getting hyped for new music. His new song All I Want Is You is set to drop soon which is the start of the rapper's rollout of new work.

Music Review: Tate McRae's 'So Close to What' entices with post-Britney Spears, dirty, breathy pop
She can sing. She can dance. She's mastered a sultry gaze. She can write a smutty phrase. Is Tate McRae the new princess of dirty, breathy pop? (Sorry, Britney Spears. A new Gen Z star approaches.) The 'hardest working Canadian recording artist' award must surely go to McRae in 2025, who at age 21 has released her third studio album, 'So Close to What," and is gearing up for a world tour. A trained dancer, McRae first garnered attention in 2016 when she was one of the finalists on the 13th season of 'So You Think You Can Dance." She's added songwriting and singing to her resume since then, hoping to become a full-blown pop star. And on 'So Close to What,' she makes a convincing effort. She just needs to find the tune that will propel her to higher echelons. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. The generous, 15-track album offers an array of serviceably sexy pop songs that harken back to the early 2000s, but mostly skew modern. (Truth be told, the more she looks back, the better the track.) The standouts are the seductive ones that lure the listener in with an earworm chorus, the ones that recognize a good beat and are not afraid to use it: 'Sports car,' 'Purple lace bra' and the brassy 'It's ok I'm ok' among them. 'Miss possessive,' also the name of her upcoming tour, starts the album in force with a great choppy hook. 'Revolving door' and 'Means I care' — both energetic pop bops — are enhanced by dancehall production. A duet with McRae's boyfriend, The Kid LAROI, 'I know love,' is contemporary romance with its trappy hi-hats and nonchalant energy. The album's verve starts to wane toward the last tracks like in the soft, casual 'Green Light," or 'Nostalgia,' which breaks out the acoustic guitar and lets McRae really showcase her vocals. Has she taken the crown of pop princess from Spears with this album? Not quite. But she's close.
