Tate McRae Sparks Canadian Outrage Over USA Promo

Singer Tate McRae has ignited controversy among her Canadian fanbase due to her participation in a Winter Olympics promotional video that appeared to favor Team USA. This involvement led to accusations on social media that the artist had switched her national allegiance. The situation caused considerable outrage from Canadian supporters.

In response to the backlash, McRae sought to quell the dissent by reaffirming her Canadian identity. DJ Frank Walker, a fellow Canadian musician, publicly addressed the controversy, suggesting that while McRae might have seen a business opportunity, her loyalty should ultimately lie with Canada. Walker expressed confidence in McRae's ability to rebound and regain the favor of Canadian fans, stating she is Canadian at heart and will likely represent Team Canada in the future.

Walker also used the occasion to celebrate Canada's significant contributions to the global music scene, citing artists like Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, and Shawn Mendes as examples of the country's cultural influence. He emphasized that this strong musical legacy makes representing Canada particularly meaningful for internationally recognized artists like McRae.
