Tate McRae is breaking free from traditional stereotypes with her latest single, “Housewife,” which showcases her fierce independence and ambition. The accompanying music video features the pop sensation confidently strutting and dancing through luxurious settings, including a mansion, yacht, and stunning landscapes, all while making bold declarations about her desires and aspirations.
Defying Expectations
In the track, McRae declares, “I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife/You could be the one I’m calling honey/Be my sex on the side,” confidently redefining the notion of femininity and ambition. A standout moment in the video includes her playfully pushing a baby carriage filled with cash, further emphasizing her theme of empowerment.
A Magical Collaboration
During her recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, McRae expressed her excitement about the single, stating, “I’m so excited. I haven’t released in a while, and it’s kind of about a woman who can’t be contained.” She revealed that the video was shot in the picturesque south of France, describing the experience as “magical and so fun.”
Easter Egg Unraveling
Fallon inquired whether the pop star had dropped any hints or “easter eggs” regarding the song’s release. McRae humorously replied, “My fans in particular, we drop easter eggs all the time and they get none of them. They’ll always catch on to things that are completely wrong.” She reminisced about her Lollapalooza performance, where the word “Housewife” was featured prominently on stage, saying, “This was literally in my Lolla set!”
Lollapalooza Performance Highlights
Her headlining set at Lollapalooza became a festival highlight, culminating in an unforgettable moment where she submerged herself in a giant tub of liquid gold, emerging like a trophy covered in the shimmering substance after performing her hit “Sports Car.”
Chart-Topping Success
“Housewife” follows the release of her acclaimed 2025 album, So Close To What, which recently debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, marking her first Number One single on the chart. McRae continues to redefine her artistry while challenging conventional labels placed upon women in pop music.
