Watch: Kate Upton Goes Topless in Her Latest Si Swimsuit Video

Quick Take

The end of February is a pretty good thing. Winter is coming to a close, and while it's still a sports wasteland, at least things like hockey, the NBA and football start to mean something. And summer is slowly, but surely creeping back into our lives.

But what we're experiencing now must not be as warm as wherever they shot the 2017 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, where it was apparently so hot that cover model Kate Upton decided even a bikini top was too much clothing.

I somehow missed this video, as it came out on Valentine's Day and seems to have flown under the radar.

I've noticed that SI makes two types of swim videos, and this is the first kind: b-roll footage of the model in a bunch of swimsuits and/or varying states of undress, set to music. The other kind features some of that, sure, but they also have a lot of cuts of the model talking about how "rewarding" it is to be paid to take pictures in tropical places (no argument here), or (God forbid) how "difficult" a shoot was.

I'm not saying one's better or more valuable than the other, but I know which ones get more views on YouTube...
