Tate McRae's VMA Choreography Earns Emmy Nod

Tate McRae's 2025 MTV Video Music Awards performance has earned a nomination for Outstanding Choreography at the 2026 Emmy Awards. This marks a historic moment, as it's only the second VMA performance ever to be recognized in this prestigious category. The nomination celebrates the intricate and athletic choreography devised by Robbie Blue for a medley of McRae's hits.

The performance, featuring acrobatic elements within a sand pit, is nominated alongside other major productions. This accolade follows a highly successful period for McRae, whose third album 'So Close to What' topped charts in Canada and the US. Her single 'Sports Car' also achieved significant radio success.

Choreographer Robbie Blue expressed his excitement, thanking his team and collaborators. Blue, a rising talent in the dance industry, has previously worked on notable projects. He previously choreographed Doechii's performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, which launched his career.
