In 2007 she acted in Ibsen's Villanden, at Trøndelag Teater, and she also played the main character Maren in the historical play Maren Dømt til Døden on Hitra the same year. In 2024, Gåte won Melodi Grand Prix, Norway’s selection show for the Eurovision Song Contest, with their song “Ulveham”. They made it to the Grand Final of Eurovision 2024, where they finished 25th.
