Tate McRae is reflecting on the backlash she received for collaborating with Morgan Wallen.⁠ ⁠ With their 2025 collab "What I Want," which became McRae's first #Hot100 No. 1, the singer shared she wasn't expecting so many people misunderstand what she wants politically.⁠ ⁠ “It’s crazy to think that one song could define a whole person,” she began in a new cover story with 'W.' “There are many aspects of my personality that three-quarters of my audience has no idea about. You hope one day you figure out a way to show all aspects of it.”⁠ ⁠ See what else she shared + her history with addressing people's assumptions about her politics at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸: JC Olivera, Getty Images⁠
