Greedy, much?
“Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller claims dancer-turned-pop star Tate McRae recently snubbed her at a trendy restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif.
“I don’t know her that well, I just know her [enough] to say ‘hello,'” the dance coach, 59, exclusively shared on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. “I just saw her at Craig’s having dinner a couple weeks ago.”
“Dance Moms” star Abby Lee Miller stopped by Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast, where she opened up about the time she was allegedly snubbed by Tate McRae. Paige Kahn for Page Six Miller claims that the dancer-turned-pop star “didn’t even look” at her when they recently dined at the same restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif. Paige Kahn for Page SixWhen asked whether McRae, 21, was excited to see her, Miller replied, “No, she didn’t even look at me. She had her nose in the air.”
A rep for McRae did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Long before her breakout as a pop star, McRae got her start as a competitive dancer.
The “Greedy” singer competed in the same circuits as the “Dance Moms” girls Miller once trained — and later became the first Canadian finalist on “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2016.
Miller claims she was snubbed by the 21-year-old singer at Craig’s, a trendy spot in Los Angeles.While speaking to Page Six, Miller addressed the viral TikTok video that features resurfaced footage of McRae winning first place at a competition in 2015. At the time, the “Exes” singer defeated a few of the girls from “Dance Moms,” including Maddie Ziegler.
“We did dances in two days, and the kids weren’t in class properly,” Miller told Page Six, defending her then-star performer and other talented students. “Tate probably worked on that dance for about six months before the competition, and then [did] the same routine at every competition.”
According to Miller, her girls “did a different [routine]” every week.
“Nobody ever did what we did,” she added. “We did 637 numbers.”
During “Dance Moms,” Miller prepared young dancers like Maddie Ziegler to compete in competitions. She addressed McRae’s 2015 win over Ziegler, which has recently resurfaced in a viral TikTok, during her Page Six chat.

“I think that it’s great that she can whack her leg up there while she’s [singing],” the choreographer said, referencing McRae’s viral dance moves. “It shows that you have to do everything. You have to be a triple threat – she’ll be acting next, probably.”
