AceShowbiz - Tate McRae thinks X is the "scariest place on Earth." The 20-year-old pop star has said that she's actually tried to distance herself from the micro-blogging platform, which was previously known as Twitter.
"I cannot do Twitter. Twitter is the scariest place on Earth. My biggest advice is, never search your name on Twitter. And it's so funny because people just love to go in on young women," the "Greedy" hitmaker told Variety.
"Whenever they do something in the industry, it's them who are the first to get picked apart. Their songwriting is not good enough, they're not smart enough, they're not pretty enough, they're not dressed well enough, their creative direction is the wrong way."
"Everything is getting picked apart, always. And I see this with my friends, I see it with people I admire. I'm like, what are we doing? We're writing music and doing what we love and I know we're putting ourselves out there to get judged, but sometimes, it's a little excessive."
Tate is determined to bring something "fresh" to the music industry in the coming years. The singer also revealed that she's keen to help re-establish the importance of music videos. Tate - who released "Think Later", her debut album, earlier this month - explained, "I want something fresh in the industry."
"We're getting shoved in the face with so much music right now, and I'm like, I miss music videos. Why are music videos becoming not a big deal anymore? That's what life is about, watching music videos and listening to music. I was like, this is getting so lost."
