The recent victory of Donald Trump in the presidential elections of the United States has left many public figures shocked and concerned about the direction of the country. Celebrities like Billie Eilish have used their platforms to express their frustration and disappointment with the election outcome.
The singer, known for her clear political stance and activism, did not hesitate to express her position, seeing Donald Trump's victory as a threat to progress in gender equality and other areas of civil rights. This is not the first time Eilish has been concerned about what could happen if Trump came to power.
Billie Eilish uses her social media to talk about Donald Trump's victory with a powerful feminist message
Through her social media, Billie shared a powerful message on a black background that read: "It's a war against women". This statement was seen as a direct response to Trump's conservative policies, which, according to Eilish and her followers, represent a setback in reproductive rights and gender policies.
Eilish had been vocal in her support for Kamala Harris, whom she considered an ally in the fight for women's and minority rights. During her last concert in Atlanta, before the elections, the "Bad Guy" singer paused to speak directly to her audience.
In an emotional speech, she asked her fans to go out and vote and to support Harris in the elections. "If you are here and support me, then you support women. This is a very important moment for us, and I hope you vote for Kamala Harris," said the singer, visibly moved.
Artists didn't waste time in criticizing Donald Trump after he was elected
Billie Eilish was not the only one to speak out. Other celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Taylor Swift also expressed their disagreement with Trump's victory. Before the elections, many of these artists had encouraged their followers to vote, actively campaigning in support of Harris.
Meanwhile, artists like Taylor Swift and the Foo Fighters expressed their opposition to Trump by prohibiting him from using their songs in his political events. This type of high-profile protests reflects the discontent of a large part of the artistic community with Trump’s return to power.
