ate that

Killed it completely

Ate that is slang expressing admiration for someone who executed something exceptionally well—a performance, an outfit, a comeback.

The full form is "ate that up" or "ate and left no crumbs," meaning they consumed the moment completely, leaving nothing behind.

She walked out in that dress and absolutely ate that.

Originally from Black and queer communities, now widespread online.
