[14] [11] [15] McRae attended Western Canada High School and graduated online in 2022. [16] [17] [18]
McRae was awarded Mini Best Female Dancer at the 2013 Dance Awards in New York City.

[29] Canadian TV host Murtz Jaffer from Toronto Sun reacted, "The fact that Canadians couldn't vote for Tate makes her third-place finish all the more impressive.
