Tate McRae’s “Housewife” video mixes yacht luxury with Britney‑style nods

By Felo News Desk · Published
Tate McRae released the music video for her single “Housewife” on October 15, 2026, showcasing a yacht cruise in the South of France, a mansion interior and a baby stroller filled with cash, while embedding several Britney‑Spears‑inspired details.
What happened
The video opens with McRae aboard a yacht, sailing along the French Riviera. It then cuts to her dancing in a lavish living‑room set that resembles the singer’s own mansion. Throughout, a cash‑laden stroller appears as a recurring prop. The visual narrative follows the song’s chorus, in which McRae sings, “I just wanna make a lot of money, be my own housewife.”
What the reports add
According to Bustle, the video’s aesthetic deliberately mirrors Britney Spears’ Instagram style, with McRae’s yacht and mansion scenes echoing Spears’ frequent travel posts. The outlet also notes that McRae’s sailor cap is a nod to Spears’ flight‑attendant outfit from the “Toxic” video, and that a scene where McRae reads a scandal‑filled tabloid mirrors Spears’ “Piece of Me” moment, though McRae throws the paper into a pool rather than the sea.
What was said
In an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, McRae said, “We drop Easter eggs all the time, but they get none of them,” referring to the subtle references she embeds in her work. She also explained the song’s premise, stating it is about a woman who wants to earn her own money and not rely on a man.
How it came about
McRae first teased “Housewife” during her August Lollapalooza set, hinting at the title before the official release. She later promoted the single on the October 15 episode of The Tonight Show, describing the track as about a woman who “can’t be contained.” The video follows that promotional push, continuing the Easter‑egg campaign highlighted in earlier Felo News coverage of the single’s release and its South‑of‑France filming.
