Rising pop star Tate McRae is Billboard’s newest cover star. The singer is set to take the stage at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. Harry Styles’ beauty and apparel line, Pleasing, shared a photo of the singer sporting a new buzz cut hairstyle on Wednesday, November 15th. Billboard takes a look back at when musical legend Elvis Presley and longtime friend and collaborator Otis Blackwell penned the 1957 musical hit “All Shook Up” inspired by shaking a can of Pepsi. And more!

Tate McRae:
I remember the day, I was on a walk with my mom and I remember I was like, oh my God, I’m No. 1 in like the Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart. And I was like, this is the biggest day of my life.
When “you broke me first” hit No. 17, it’s pretty wild because I feel like I’ve just been watching my favorite artists of all time on that chart. And I think at first, I didn’t realize the capacity of what “you broke me first” had done until I actually like got to LA and realized that it had, you know, gotten to a specific spot and gotten that big.
When I wrote “you broke me first,” I was 16. I was like, I have to put this song out. I really want to. The first time I like filmed my first ever like legit music video was with my friend back in Calgary on Video Star on my phone. It’s only two passes of the entire music video. It’s so crazy. It has like so many views now and it’s so strange to just look back and see that it was literally made on an iPhone.
