Early Wednesday morning, Americans and the world awoke to news of Donald Trump’s stunning upset in the Presidential election, and the outpouring of reactions was swift and heated, particularly in the entertainment community.
Several A-list celebrities took to social media to express their shock and dismay, with some even venturing into the realm of despair.
Billie Eilish, the chart-topping teenage pop sensation, posted a brief but poignant message, imploring her followers to “countinue fighting for what is rightfully yours.” She went on to express her heartbreak, stating that she was “sad and exhausted” by the state of affairs.
Cardi B, never one to mince words, also weighed in on the matter. The Bodak Yellow songstress wrote an impassioned Instagram post denouncing Trump’s policies and voicing her support for those affected by the president-elect’s divisive rhetoric.
Rihanna took a more measured approach, but still couldn’t help but share her disappointment and disillusionment with the American electoral process, urging fans to continue the “fight for freedom and love.”
Alicia Keys, meanwhile, adopted a more positive tone, focusing on the resilience and strength of those who oppose Trump’s policies. In her words: “We can still choose to make a difference and stand with love and kindness.”
Given the sheer number of celebrities vowing to continue the fight against Trump’s agenda, the onus will be on Hollywood to lead by example. We will be keeping a close eye on how the entertainment industry shifts to adapt to the changing landscape in the months and years ahead, and we have no doubt that Donald Trump will be a fixture in celebrity conversations for many months to come.
While it remains unclear exactly what form this resistance will take, rest assured that your favorite celebrities will likely be keeping an active voice in expressing their opinions on what is happening in Washington. As fans continued to give their reactions, it is understandable that it is going to take some time to come up with the conclusions about recent elections.
