‘I Think It’s Pretty Obvious’: Tate McRae Responds to Accusations of Being a MAGA Supporter
McRae said she prefers showing her views through charity work and her tour environment, including sales that raised money for two nonprofits.
- In a Variety cover story released Monday, 23-year-old Canadian singer Tate McRae addressed ongoing speculation regarding her political beliefs. She declined to define her stance, instead pointing to her support for The Trevor Project and the Global Fund for Women as proof of her values.
- Questions about McRae's politics emerged in May 2025 after her collaboration with U.S. country singer Morgan Wallen on the single "What I Want." While Wallen has never endorsed the Make American Great Again movement, critics widely consider his music "Trump-coded."
- Political scrutiny intensified this year following her promotion of Team USA during the 2026 Winter Olympics and a rumored relationship with NHL star Jack Hughes. Hughes later faced backlash after visiting the White House with the U.S. men's hockey team.
- Since the interview, online groups have continued to criticize McRae for refusing to denounce the movement. Reddit commenters called her a "MAGA coward," arguing her silence speaks "volumes" about her political leanings.
- McRae told Variety she prefers to keep her relationships private, stating, "Focusing my energy on something that I can't control, it just puts me in a bad mood." She remains focused on her live shows and charitable contributions.
