STAGE DOOR: Kate Yeager

Kate Yeager (she/her) is a queer New York-born, Nashville-based independent singer/songwriter. Her music combines upbeat indie pop sensibility a là MUNA, the raw vocals of Kelly Clarkson, and Julia Michaels’ -style introspective lyrics. Her songwriting will make you question “How does she know my life?” Kate describes her discography as “a whole lot of light, with a whole lot of bite.”

Teaming up with Grammy-nominated producer Jared Anderson, Kate’s new EP Before the Lights Go Out explores themes of vulnerability, love, and self-discovery. Kate reflects on her collection of songs, “I am in my vulnerable era – there isn’t a lot of holding back. My music is crushingly blunt and unguarded.” The 2023 single “Fat” – about her lifelong struggle with being comfortable in her body – caught fire online, as a performance clip of the tune rapidly racked up over 15 million views on social media.

The viral track inspired fans to share their own stories and garnered praise from fans and celebrities around the world. Kate Yeager’s 2024 EP Before the Lights Go Out saw her fanbase grow exponentially, and she racked up more than 100 tour dates throughout the year both headlining and supporting artists like Gavn!, Morgan St. Jean, Girl Named Tom and The Collective. She’s been busy writing new music in 2025.
