Tate McRae and her boyfriend The Kid LAROI had a close encounter with a whale over the summer.

The “Greedy” singer, 21, shared details about the moment she’ll likely never forget during a guest appearance on The Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill on Wednesday, Oct. 9.

“I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into,” McRae said of going jet skiing with the Australian rapper, also 21. “You know you have trust in your boyfriend, but also jet skis are the worst. They flip over every two seconds.”

After she and LAROI landed in the water, the couple found themselves roughly “10 feet away” from a large whale, according to the “Run for the Hills” singer.

“It was the big moment of our trip,” McRae said. “I was like, ‘We nearly just landed in a whale’s mouth!’ ”

McRae admitted that she is a bit creeped out by the ocean.

“That’s so freaky to me, the ocean is just a really freaky thing to me. You’re just in there and it’s black and your toes are dangling and that’s so weird,” the singer said. “I got that feeling when we fell in the water and you’re just tingling at the bottom of your feet and you’re like, ‘We could die right now.' ”
