McRae spoke to ‘Variety’ about her political beliefs after her collaboration with Morgan Wallen and rumored romance with Jack Hughes fueled speculation
Jack Irvin has worked at PEOPLE since 2022. He covers and edits daily music news, and he's interviewed both up-and-coming and established artists including Dolly Parton, Michelle Branch, Ashanti, Cyndi Lauper, Normani, Carly Rae Jepsen and Coco Jones.
Tate McRae is addressing questions about her political beliefs.
In a new Variety cover story interview, the Canadian pop star, 23, responded to claims she’s a MAGA supporter after her “What I Want” collaboration with Morgan Wallen and rumored romance with NHL star Jack Hughes fueled speculation.
McRae told the outlet about choosing not to firmly label her political stance. “I like to say my piece through organizations I support and the environment that I have on tour,” said the “Sports Car” musician, who previously released a hoodie on her merchandise store with a portion of proceeds going to LGBTQ+ charity The Trevor Project as well as the Global Fund for Women.
“I think it’s pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support,” added McRae. “And I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I’m putting my energy towards.”
Some fans questioned McRae’s political leanings after she released the chart-topping collaboration “What I Want” with Wallen in May 2025 due to his controversial past.

Communists are not real big on freedom of thought.
OMG!! She might be MAGA. Get out the torches and pitchforks. God forbid someone in the entertainment industry has a different view from their left wing lunacy.
Tate is from Calgary, BC, which means there’s a pretty good chance that her family is conservative. Tate probably has no political thoughts. She’s 23 and enjoying her life and stardom. Probably 75% of her entourage of dancers, wardrobe assistants and hairstylists are gay, so that’s her world. There is no evidence the Hughes Brothers are conservative, although the NHL boasts the most conservatives of the 4 major leagues. The Left hates them because Jack was patriotic in his post golden goal interview, and they both acted like ‘80’s rock stars and actual men at the post game interview, pounding beers like champs.
How do you know that? And how would we know. 99% of athletes know they better not say anything.
I didn't realize that Calgary had been relocated from Alberta to BC. It was still in Alberta when she was born there. Thanks for the update.
LOL. Did she settle down in Toronto, PEI? :-P
Neither were the Nazis.
She's an alien with 3 1/2 boobs.
No talent strumpet, just more crap.
Should have been Helen of Troy
She's much better looking even with the odd bresticles.
