The video doesnāt really have the 21-year-old baring it all, but there is some creative use of pixilation in scenes that show the pop star being arrested by police in New York City. McRae explained to British broadcaster Jimmy Hill on the Capital Evening Show that the shoot was quite wholesome. Her parents were even on set. The raciness was added later with editing. She was never naked. Nevertheless, The U.S. Sun went to town. āX RAE-TEDā screamed the headline, followed by āPopstar Tate McRae sparks outrage as she appears to be completely NAKED in new music video.ā The article reports that fans expressed their outrage with some online finger-wagging when the song was released on YouTube. Itās OK Iām OK is the lead single off of McRaeās third album, So Close to What. The song quickly hit No. 1 on Billboardās Hot Dance/Pop Songs and has charted just about everywhere, from Lithuania to Lebanon. So far, it has garnered 165 million streams.

āI wonāt sugarcoat it: Itās weird,ā admits McRae, in a Zoom interview with Postmedia a few weeks ago. āIām a fairly private person. The persona I have on stage and in music videos is much different than me at my core. Itās pretty funny. I donāt really think about news articles or read that much about myself. Sometimes when I go back home to Calgary, it feels really interesting because then Iām like my purist self. And Iām like, āOh woah, itās weird to be perceived and judged by this many people.ā It is sometimes a bit of a mind (expletive). Itās not normal. I tell my Mom and Dad to not read it as much as they can because I feel they can get more affected than (me).ā

Itās not much of a stretch to accept that the scantily clad and f-bomb-dropping McRae we see in music videos and on stage is only part of her story and personality. By now, her whirlwind conquering of the pop world in the past five years has become central to her lore. Thatās partially because it seemed to start so humbly. She signed with RCA in 2020 at the age of 16 and released the single YouĀ Broke Me First. It was an angsty but endearing slice of bedroom-pop that came with a much more rudimentary video. The quarantining teen shot it herself in Calgary and it featured her lip-synching in front of her motherās car on a downtown rooftop. While already on the cusp of superstardom, her second EP, 2021ās Too Young to Be Sad, was recorded in her Calgary home because the pandemic kept her from the big L.A. studios. But by the time she recorded her 2022 full-length debut, i used to think i could fly, and her 2023 follow-up, Think Later, she was working with some of the biggest names in pop. Her star continued to rise and the rest is history.
