Tate McRae is pushing the boundaries of taste in her new music video, which appears to show her completely naked, prompting a strong reaction from fans.
The MTV Video Music Award nominee, who stunned on the red carpet at Monday’s awards show, bares it all in her latest release ‘it’s ok I’m ok’.
The video shows McRae, 21, who is dating Kid Laroi, apparently completely naked as she is arrested by two police officers in New York City.
While many fans praised the intricate choreography and the song itself, others felt “uncomfortable” by the amount of skin exposed by the singer, who has a young fan base.
Tate McRae left it all behind in her latest music video, ‘it’s ok, I’m ok,’ which dropped Friday.
“Anyone else feel uncomfortable with the amount of nudity people feel the need to show these days?” one fan wrote beneath the official YouTube video, commenting, “It’s videos like this that ruin the song for me.”
“Sad women need to over-sexualize themselves to sing a song,” said another, while another added that the music video was “practically porn.”
“Why is she naked?” another person simply asked, and a subsequent comment read: “That shows she has no talent because she is trying to sell her body.”
However, many fans were delighted with the song and the images.
“You have to give this girl her ten minutes. She’s the only pop girl who gives us choreography, vocals, drama, she really has it all. The reach she has is undeniable,” raved one fan.
“That choreography looks so difficult! She does it like it’s easy,” another fan added.
The racy images have left some fans disappointed.
Tate is wearing only a diamond necklace, high heels and a police cap.
Another said: “She sings, dances, writes her own songs, plays the piano and acts. I saw her in concert this year and it was the best experience.”
Since its release early Friday morning, the video has been viewed more than 1.1 million times and was trending at #4 on YouTube.
On her Instagram Stories, Tate shared a clip of the music video playing on a big screen in Times Square.
Too much? One fan said of the images: “So it’s porn.”
Through the use of pixelation, it appeared that the young star was completely naked.
Fans were left feeling ‘uncomfortable’ by the amount of skin the singer had exposed.
However, many fans were delighted with the song and the images.
“YouTube, thank you!” he wrote in the clip.
‘It’s ok, I’m ok’ is the final single to be released ahead of the next leg of McRae’s Think Later World Tour 2024, which kicks off on September 28 in Newark, New Jersey, before heading to Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Australia.
The singer-songwriter has been compared to Britney Spears by the media and her fans.
The So You Think You Can Dance alum spoke to the woman who inspired her and so many others in an interview with V Magazine in March of this year.
The shocking images have sparked a strong reaction.
The video starts off innocently enough with McRae wearing a beach outfit, sitting in a lawn chair in a tropical location, drinking a soda.
McRae, 21, starts walking down the street and passes an altercation in which a woman wearing no clothes is being arrested by police.
The character soon escapes custody, but remains dressed in clubbing attire for the remainder of the video.

‘I’ve always been surrounded by music and dance.’
“My mother owned a dance studio when I was very young, so I was constantly in the presence of older dancers who I looked up to,” she explained.
‘Becoming an artist was all I wanted to do, for as long as I can remember.’
