base talk Why does Tate McRae refuse acknowledge her collab with Morgan Wallen?

[Mattyboy]

She's never acknowledged her collab with Morgan Wollen, just released on his album this Friday.. "What I Want" is Morgan's first female collab and is going to be Tate's first #1

 

When it goes #1, will she have to acknowledge it?

Yall ate her up when it was just a rumor and now you're wondering why she's ignoring it?  Make up your minds.

[Popboi.]

You know damn well why.

I don't get why. Why release a collab if you're not going to acknowledge it? Either go all out or not at all. It comes across as an artist not standing by her work

And if she stands by it you'll make a thread asking "Why does Tate double down on  Morgan Wallen collab despite backlash?"

What collab?

Maybe she did it for her label?  There are a million reasons to not like Morgan.

I don't like Morgan.. But it rubs me the wrong way if she's just going to release this under the radar then it becomes her first #1

Buyers remorse. Also she has a new song launching on the F1 soundtrack and probably doesn't to mess up the rollout for that song with the drama associated with this collab. Her team probably thinks the F1 song will be her "Dance the Night" for summer 2025

some colalbs don't need to be acknowledged

I doubt that's gonna be a single like that, the song isn't that good and they're not dumb

Why does everyone assume a young woman in music has full control over her career?? 

[Diet Pepsi]

She's a fraud  

[FailSafe]

Because she wants to have the best of both worlds. She wants the sucess and less backlash. Morgan's fanbase will send it to #1 or at least make it a hit, and by keeping silent, it will seem that she doesn't really want this Collab to happen to keep her fans from completely dropping her.

[truthteller]

it will do big debut no matter if she acknowledges it or not  so why put yourself onto the spotlight for more backlashes

[New Edition]

She will defo acknowledge it when it hits #1 on the Hot 100 officially. Bookmark it

They didn't even record it together right? It's all a label transaction. But she fits the bill for the eye candy for the country bros so she might as well lean into it.

Yeah. All the gross Andrew Tate type boys think of Tate McRae as the new "hot girl" kinda like they did Katy Perry in 2009 and Britney Spears in the 90's. From a brand perspective, it's impossible for her to ignore this song because it's about debut at #1 and is clearly shaping up to be a very radio/playlist payola'd monolith.
 

She should just accept the fact the gays and some of the girls aren't gonna go as hard for her as they did before and lean in to the more conservative base of America. Tone down some of the provocative imagery but not completely sanitize it.
 

She would probably be more successful if she was a country-tinged, singer/songwriter artist given that's how she debuted onto the scene anyway with "You Broke Me First".

 

I never understood the 180 away from that - yeah she's a great dancer but she doesn't have the right voice or vibe for the type of Pussycat Dolls music she's been pushing since Greedy.

 

She's gonna lean into the aforementioned direction eventually because she has no other choice, bookmark me!

Because it's a bad song

It concerns you more that she is ignoring it when it's going #1, than the fact it's a collaboration with Morgan?  

[MerveAksak]

Because I feel like it's a song she doesnt feel connected to and just was released to boost her streaming status
