Tate McRae pushes the boundaries of taste in her new fully nude music video, prompting strong reactions from fans.
The MTV Video Music Award nominee, who shone on the red carpet at the awards ceremony on Monday, gives it her all in her latest album ‘it’s ok I’m ok’.
The video shows McRae, 21, who is in a relationship with Kid Laroi, completely naked as she is arrested by two New York City police officers.
While many fans praised the complex choreography and the song itself, others felt “uncomfortable” with the amount of skin shown by the singer, who has a young fan base.
Tate McRae put it all on the line in her latest music video, ‘It’s OK, I’m OK’, which dropped Friday
“Is anyone else uncomfortable with the amount of nudity people are willing to show these days?” one fan wrote under the official YouTube video, adding, “It’s videos like this that ruin the song for me.”
“Sad women have to sexualize themselves so much just to sing a song,” said another, while yet another added that the music video was “basically porn.”
“Why naked?” someone else asked, and a follow-up comment read: “It shows she has no talent because she’s trying to sell her body.”
Still, many fans were very enthusiastic about the song and the images.
“They need to give this girl A’s. She’s the only pop girlie who gives us choreography, singing, drama, she’s the whole package. The range she has is undeniable,” cheered one enthusiastic fan.
“That choreography looks so hard! She makes it look easy,” another fan added.
The racy images have disappointed some fans

Another said, “She sings, dances, writes her own songs, plays the piano, and she PERFORMS. I saw her in concert this year and it was the best experience.”
Since its release on Friday morning, the video has been viewed over 1.1 million times and has reached number 4 on the YouTube music video chart.
Tate shared a clip of the music video on her Instagram Stories, which was shown on a large screen in Times Square.
Too much? One fan said of the images: ‘Then it’s porn.’

‘I’ve always been surrounded by music and dance.’
