Tate McRae Fans Call Her A Hypocrite For Waving Pride Flag On Stage Following Collab With Morgan Wallen

She can’t catch a break.

A few weeks ago, Morgan Wallen released his monster, 37-song album I’m The Problem, which has dominated the charts and remained at #1 on the Hot 100 for the two weeks since it has been out, and will likely stay there for a third straight week. The album debuted at the top of the all-genre Billboard 200 album chart, and landed 6 songs in the top 10 of the all-genre Hot 100 upon its release. It also claimed all 10 spots in the top 10 of the Hot Country Songs chart, the first time an artist has swept the top 10 spots.

It features several collaborations with his friends, and also his first ever duet with a female artist on “What I Want,” which has guest vocals from Canadian pop star Tate McRae. That has been the early runaway hit, and it landed on the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 chart upon debut (which consists of singles, rather than the album as a whole). Morgan had six songs from the record debut within the top 10, and “What I Want” is Morgan’s fourth Hot 100 chart topper and McRae’s first, though some of her fans didn’t seem too thrilled about it.

Of course, scoring a hit like that is a dream for pretty much any artist, and it’s a huge accomplishment when it finally happens… one of those “you made it” moments that they’ll remember forever. I mean, what kind of person who makes music for a living doesn’t want to have the top song in all of music? It’s huge, especially if you’re a mainstream, very commercial artist like McRae.

Morgan credits his sister for turning him on to Tate’s music, but the song itself was written by Morgan and Tate along with Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Ryan Vojtesak, John Byron and Joe Reeves, and honestly, I thought was pretty forgettable in terms of it getting lost among the rest of the 37 songs. I didn’t really like it that much, but clearly I’m in the minority and plenty of others are loving it. When the collab between Tate and Morgan was first announced, some online were not happy to learn that she was working with Morgan, calling her all kinds of names because of some of Morgan’s past controversies.

Keep in mind, this is all coming from people online (I guess they’re her fans?), though the sentiment of their anger seems to remain, and they’re once again coming for her online. A new video has gone viral from a concert McRae performed in Hamburg, Germany, yesterday where she waved a pride flag in honor of June being pride month, as she exited the stage to cheers from thousands of fans:
