Summary
Variety quotes Tate McRae, 23, saying her values are clear through the organizations she supports after online speculation tied her to MAGA politics.
The scrutiny followed her No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 duet with Morgan Wallen, "What I Want," and attention around reported boyfriend Jack Hughes laughing during President Trump's call to the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team.
McRae pointed to actions over statements, citing a TikTok promotion for a "Little Miss Possessive" sweatshirt benefiting the Global Fund for Women and The Trevor Project.
She also said she keeps relationships private and ignores outside noise while recovering from the strain of her 88-stop, $100 million "Miss Possessive" tour.
The comments come as McRae, already working on a fourth album, moves into another high-visibility stretch after headlining Lollapalooza and ahead of Montreal's Osheaga Festival.
