Pop singer's Olympics USA ad causes firestorm over her allegiance to native Canada: Who is Tate McRae?

Pop star Tate McRae is facing heat after publicly endorsing Team USA in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

McRae, a Canadian native, took to Instagram on Wednesday and appeared in an NBC ad for the Milan Cortina Olympics, in which she expressed support for Team USA.

"I'm trying to get to Milan for an amazing opening ceremony and meet Team USA. Gonna spend the week with some of America's best skating for gold and Lindsey Vonn's epic comeback. And back to the states for the big game, Super Bowl LX," she said in the commercial.
