‘Country Music Is Huge Where I’m From’: Tate McRae Talks About Her Morgan Wallen Duet in 'Rolling Stone' Cover Story

"I think controversy and criticism is a way of learning and figuring out what you want to move forward with, and how that shapes you as a person. I think it's all important,” the Canadian pop star shared.

Tate McRae is on the cover of Rolling Stone, and she has some interesting tidbits about her starmaking year.

In May, McRae was featured on “What I Want,” a track from Morgan Wallen’s album, I’m The Problem, which ranked at No. 1 on the 2025 Canadian Albums chart.
