Tate McRae is stunning fans in her skimpy bikini as a repost on X gains traction. The Canadian singer, 22, flaunted her jaw-dropping figure in a recent upload, where two slides showed her from the front and the back. Displaying her toned muscles and the "thicc" frame she's celebrated for, Tate highlighted her curves in a cheeky swimsuit, going stringy in a colorful look as she soaked up the sun. The So You Think You Can Dance alum garnered mixed comments, though, with some fans calling her "mid" while others thought she was a perfect 10. One user, however, body-shamed Tate, calling her "a little chunky."

Rocking the micro swimwear trend also adored by singer Dua Lipa, Tate exposed her backside in her teeny thong, with the photos showing her looking tan as she hung around barefoot. While one image showed the songstress with her hair down and soaking wet, another showed her modeling a low bun. The photos were taken last summer as Tate McRae enjoyed a sun-soaked vacation in St.Tropez, France.

"Tate McRae I'm SPEECHLESS," a caption read. Some fans felt that Tate isn't all that, with one calling her "mid" and another saying that they had a "better build than her." One hater even called the blonde "a little chunky," but plenty of love came in, too. "She has a perfect shape, omg," one user gushed.

Going Sheer In Cheeky Braless Bodysuit

Tate McRae upped the ante in these late-night snaps, taken at last year's MTV VMAs After-Party.

Slipping her curves into a criss-cross, braless bodysuit with sheer stomach paneling and very cheeky, undies-style bottoms, she opted for her signature, butt-baring finish, strutting around like a total bombshell while wearing dark shades. "She looks good," one fan replied as the above X repost gathered comments. Another couldn't help but admit that "both sides" looked "great."

Retro Heart Bikini For 'Rolling Stone' Cover

Tate has made more recent headlines for showing some skin. Just last month, she stripped down to a series of teeny swimsuits for her Rolling Stone cover. For her cover shoot, she modeled a heart-print, vintage Moschino bikini, also donning a cherry-print, Dolce & Gabbana one for her feature.

“People always want girls to put themselves out there. And the second they do, they get ripped apart for it,” Tate McRae told the magazine as she discussed getting "scrutinized" for her racy outfits.
