Singer Joy Villa Wears Pro-Trump Dress to Grammys, Sales Skyrocket
That sound you hear is the sound of liberal heads exploding
Singer Joy Villa turned heads when she revealed her less than subtle gown at the Grammys.
“Go big, or go home. You can either stand for what you believe or fall for what you don’t. Above all make a choice for tolerance and love. Agree to disagree. See the person over the politics, carry yourself with dignity, always. Life is made to be lived, so go boldly and give no effs! ????❤️????????????????⭐️????✨ #love #peace #joyvillagrammys #joyvilla #maga #grammys2017 #style #supportamerica,” Villa wrote in an Instagram post.
Villa arrived dressed in a white cape, which she removed to reveal her MAGA dress:
After her red carpet appearance, Villa’s album jumped to the number seven on iTunes and the top of Amazon’s “top digital paid albums,” according to Fox News.
Naturally, not everyone was pleased with Villa’s overt Trump support.
Making the whole ordeal even more delicious, the dress was designed by Filipino immigrant, Andre Soriano. Soriano is also a Trump supporter:
The designer behind Joy Villa’s pro-Trump, “Make America Great Again” Grammys gown, Filipino immigrant Andre Soriano, tells THR that he is supportive of the new president despite his controversial immigration ban, and that the message of the dress was one of positivity.
Soriano skirted questions regarding the meat of his political beliefs, but said he is a proud American and believes that he is an example of the American dream. He was first discovered on Rihanna’s Bravo reality show, Styled to Rock, and launched his label in San Diego in 2013, selling ready-to-wear and red-carpet looks online only. He is a naturalized citizen.
“There are a lot of people that are in power that really misconstrued what this country stands for,” he said. “I love this country. I’m from the Philippine islands, I am a proud American. I really love this country. I am a minority, Joy is black. America is about immigrants.”
…
“I always channel Joy’s music as a designer — we’re both artists, and I love her so dearly,” says Soriano. “She is one of the people on this planet that really promotes love. We need to move this country forward, and we believe it’s time to promote love. We only live once, and we need to promote love. We have one president now who is going to do the best thing for planet America.”
Political statements tend to be annoying, mostly because they consistently degrade those whose opinions vary. Props to Villa for keeping her message upbeat.

This does not fit the liberal narrative. Andre Soriano is an immigrant, he is not white, he is gay and he lives in San Francisco yet he supports Pres. Trump. Where is the tolerance by liberal America which allegedly worships “diversity” and “inclusion”?
“Where is the tolerance by liberals”
Marxists, communists and socialists just mouth the platitudes until they can control the power.
That elongated him in the back, the part with the word Trump on it, is a train.
I’ll let myself out, now.
I like that back view best, myself.
It reminds me of a song….
From aft, the big letters spell out R U M P .
That’s too much like putting the helpful instructions open at other end on the bottom of a Coke bottle.
LOL!!!
Baby got back!
him — hem– would love an edit button
there is a preview function
Tried the preview buton just before replying to natdj, didn’t work for me.
Hey Kemberlee! Did you catch the “not at all subtle” but very biased and mocking code words used in that horrible report of that paper? (IMO)
“Skirted,” “meat,” “behind,” (used twice) “black,” and “immigrant.” Soriano is a naturalized U.S. citizen!
I’d like to see them try to report like that on Ex Barry, or Michelle , or Hillary………
Me like her.
Villa [who I admit I never heard of before, but pop music is not my thing. I may take a listen.] will pay for this. She is on top of the charts now, but she will find that no one will work with her anymore, her contracts will not be renewed, and there is the matter of the many death threats on Twitter [which never seems to object to such against enemies of the Left]. I expect that the crazies will try something, if not fatal, then disfiguring. The Democrat Narrative is a jealous god, and the only one they worship.
I see it as a fascinating gamble – yes, she has made a lot of enemies, but she may have just made some even more powerful friends. Threats are easy to make, but I think sooner than later its going to be clear that they can’t follow up on any of them. I know you remember Obama’s “red line” in Syria; I submit to you the idea that almost all of Obama’s followers are just like him in terms of follow through.
It’s a bit of a foreign idea to serious people, since we are committed to follow through on the things we say that we’ll do. But consider this: how many of the celebrities who threatened to leave the country have actually left? How many government employees who threatened to quit have actually quit?
And getting fired doesn’t count. The left is what all of the old Texas cowboys used to call All Hat, No Cattle.
p.s. I don’t give much credit to the wankers who show great “bravery” in attacking inanimate objects that can’t fight back, like buildings, abandoned cars, and Starbucks windows.
No worries man.
Joy knows what she is doing. She may be another up and coming Trump.

I predict she will never be invited to the Grammys ever again.
Wow. Professor Jacobson and the Legal Insurrection Crew should keep an ear on this good guy (if they aren’t already).

Just looked at her Twitter account. She tweeted a couple of hours ago that her album jumped to #1 on both iTunes and Amazon.
I don’t really like this. Let her music live or die based on the merits, not who she supports politically.
It is wrong for hateful Democrats to threaten Nordstrom’s and other retailers with boycotts and harass them on social media to get them to drop Ivanka Trump’s product line because they hate her father.
This is the flip side. Joy’s album shoots to #1 simply because of her politics. It’s a little bit different because the Democrats motives are based on hatred and meanness and coercion. They want to hurt Ivanka financially because of her father. With Joy, people are voluntarily showing her they approve of her politics by buying her music. It’s more love than hate.
I just wish we could separate the commercial stuff from the political.
Dear M@B&@:
Not because of her politics; because they appreciate her bravery, her willingness to stand athwart the in-crowd; her willingness to be different & individual.
Those are qualities she shows with her politics, it’s not all her politics.
And her willingness to love the country she lives in.
All admirable, all desirable and all to be encouraged. And to show others attending that perhaps their position isn’t actually the only possible position. To encourage self-reflection.
So much going on here and you reduce it to one bare thing.
Nope. So much more than that.
Is she showing her politics, or her salesmanship? Wear a novelty gown, and sales take off into the stratosphere—who in the entertainment biz wouldn’t jump at an opportunity like that?
I have no big problem with either politics or salesmanship, but I don’t like to get them confused.
I wonder how many people, like myself, had never heard of her or listened to her music until this and then decided they liked the music as much as the message? /just a thought
