It's okay, she's okay.
Tate McRae attended the April 29 Billboard Women in Music ceremony wearing a sexy leather look made to turn heads — but apparently not made for taking a rest.
In a TikTok posted after the star-studded event, the "Greedy" singer, 22, gave a reality check with a behind-the-scenes video of her struggling to sit in her outfit because of its waist-cinching corsetry.

"How does one sit when their dress doesn't allow them to sit," she captioned the clip, which showed her sitting in what appeared to be a sprinter van very stiffly and with her arms out.
McRae didn't have to struggle for long as she did an outfit change inside the ceremony. She accepted her Hitmaker Award in a flowy white dress with a balloon peplum waistline and a lace neckline.

One of the star's recent red carpet moments was at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards in September. She wore a sheer Grecian-style white gown by Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
Months later, she opened up to Rolling Stone about being "scrutinized" and "sexualized" for her provocative outfits.

"It's just wild that people pay so much attention to us girls for little things that a man wouldn't be scrutinized for... And they're not thinking about the great things that are happening onstage," she said.
"They're not thinking about their vocals, or the way that they're performing or putting themselves out there or being vulnerable, spreading a very specific message," she continued. "They're thinking about what shorts they're wearing, or what their makeup looks like, and that's annoying."
