  1. > During her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour Stop in Atlanta on Saturday (Nov. 2), the “Birds of Feather” singer paused her show in order to talk to her fans. In a TikTok posted by the Democratic Party’s official account, Eilish can be seen standing on stage at State Farm Arena urging her fans to vote for Harris in Tuesday’s election (Nov. 5).

    > “Times are really scary and a lot is at stake and I know that if you’re in this room and you support me, you support women,” Eilish said to a screaming crowd. “I hope that you will vote for Kamala Harris.”

  2. “Musicians should just focus on their music and stay out of politics!” Says the people who bring out Kid Rock and Ted Nugent to speak from the same stage as their candidates while desperately trying to persuade voters that they have cool people on their side of the fence.

    Good on her, and good on every artist who takes a moment to use their platform to say their piece. Their audience aren’t robots. They’re not commanding anyone to do anything. She’s allowed to say what she feels, and I hope it makes a difference.

  3. Perhaps she should have said, “get out and vote” rather than who to vote for. BTW huge fan having attended her concert.

  4. “if you don’t like it you can do what trump rallygoers do and get the fuck out”

  5. Incoming “celebrities need to stay out of politics” comments. Diaper Donnie himself is a celebrity telling everyone he’s got a magic wand that will fix everything because he’s $2 billion in debt and is facing prison for violating the espionage act.

  7. A little late… half the crowd probably isn’t even registered.

  11. Oh god imagine paying those ticket prices just to have her stop and drone on about politics yikes

  12. Maybe this will actually entice younger generations to educate themselves on who they are voting for, rather than just be told to blindly vote for someone that isn’t Trump.

  13. Harris could have used the votes in Michigan, but instead she and Clinton went up there to tell Muslims that we shouldn’t be angry that the israeli occupation is committing a holocaust on Palestinians.

  14. So many women okay with Men being able to compete in women’s sports and use the same restroom. Weird times

  15. How many people do you think stomped out angrily after this?

  16. “Election interference!!” Cried nobody in the audience.

  17. Chhhapppellle Roan should also tell her audience that she just can’t decide between a lunatic fascist and a reasonable person for the presidency, and that, as a total ignoramus, it weighs on her conscience.

  18. The same loud RWNJ men who are “shut up and stick to singing” are also the ones who sexualized her

  20. Saw a comment saying celebrities shouldn’t be endorsing political leaders. Trump started as a celebrity lol

  21. Next week, she can record sad songs full of angst after Trump wins.

  22. Pray that we lose Ted Nugent this year to syphillis or whatever the fuck you want.

  23. I’m just here to piss everyone off. Fuck whoever you vote for. You’re a bunch of sheep

  24. I’m seeing her on the 8th, lord please don’t cancel if he wins. We need you

  25. No offense but whos taking voting advice from a 20 year old millionaire

  26. I respect Billie because she wants to be famous for her music, not for being a sex symbol.

    But I have a hard time respecting her, because she dresses like Seth green in can’t hardly wait.

    Like, I get you don’t want people being attracted to you. Or at least you don’t want your looks distracting from your music. But you’re going to dress like Kenny Fisher? Just wear a meat dress like lady Gaga. At least people will know you’re just being artsy. Instead we think you’re one of those suburbia boys that hangs out at the gas station.
