'Sellout': Canadian Pop Star Under Fire For Praising Team USA In Winter Olympics Ad
HuffPost
Canadians weren't giving any medals to the chart-topping singer.
Canadian-born pop star Tate McRae is getting a cold reception in her native country after hyping up Team USA in an NBC ad for this year’s Winter Olympics.
On Tuesday, the singer — whose album “So Close to What” debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart last year — shared an ad promoting NBC’s broadcast of Friday’s opening ceremony at the Milan Cortina Games.
The clip depicts McRae in ski gear asking a snowy owl for directions to the “amazing” ceremony so she can meet Team USA.
“Then, it’s the weekend with America’s best skating for gold, and Lindsey Vonn’s epic comeback. Then back to the States for the big game: Super Bowl 60,” continued McRae, teasing NBC’s coverage of the major sporting events.
The ad is soundtracked by McRae’s single, “Nobody’s Girl,” and features highlights of Team USA.
