And she got absolutely roasted for it.<\/p>\n<p>The mini-controversy arose as a result of an NBC advertisement for its coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics. In it, McRae appears wearing a red snow suit and skis and asks an owl for directions to the Games. \u201cI\u2019m trying to get to Milan for an amazing opening ceremony and meet team U.S.A.,\u201d she says. \u201cThen it\u2019s the weekend with America\u2019s best skating for gold, and Lindsey Vonn\u2019s epic comeback. Then come back to the States for the big game, Super Bowl LX.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the benign nature of the ad itself, it managed to get the hackles up of Canadian commenters, who were enraged that McRae would publicly support the United States over her homeland. The 22-year-old hails from Calgary, Alberta, a fact which hundreds of commenters pointed out, in varying states of enragement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe absolute ick every Canadian just felt,\u201d wrote one commenter \u201cIn 2026\u2026 what were you and your team thinking?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another added a layer of political commentary to the critique, saying, \u201cNo amount of money could make me endorse the country that threatens mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to stave off the criticism, McRae <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tatemcrae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">posted an Instagram story<\/a> with a childhood photo of her holding a a miniature Canadian flag. \u201c\u2026y\u2019all know I\u2019m Canada down,\u201d she wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n<p>    <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Tate McRae \/\/ Instagram Canadian pop singer Tate McRae recently appeared in a TV ad promoting team&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465261,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[64,63,134,136,10018,90150],"class_list":{"0":"post-465260","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-olympics","13":"tag-tate-mcrae"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
