Maisie Peters goes viral with 'Cate's Brother'
SPIN's Tara Walsh caught up with Maisie Peters for a chat recently.
Among other things, they talked about her viral TikTok about a song she wrote about her best friend Cate's brother.
The post blew up with over 500,000 views on the platform alone.

When that went viral, Maisie shared a video of her friend Cate hearing the track for the first time.
It got an even bigger reaction with over 700,000 views.
Cate even commented, 'it’s a banger to be fair…'

When Maisie shared the video, she had no idea it would become as big a hit as it did.
So you can imagine her surprise when Tara mentioned it in their interview, "That's so funny!"
The SPIN presenter wanted to know one thing - does Cate's brother know about the song?!

"Okay, I can't believe you're asking me this, I'm so unprepared!"
"I really did that as a surprise moment thing and it's really turned into something much bigger," Maisie laughed.
"Ehm... Does Cate's brother know... Well, I mean he clearly knows now!"

Tara asked Maisie when we can expect the song to be released, and she couldn't give an answer.
"These are details I don't have. I don't know, I don't know when the song's coming out."
"I mean I... It sort of just snowballed when I teased it so I guess we'll see. I have to finish it first."

Maisie is coming to Dublin later this year to support Ed Sheeran on tour so fingers crossed she finishes it by then!
