Singer Wears ‘Make America Great Again’ Dress to Grammys, Album Sales Skyrocket


When Donald Trump chose Jackie Evancho to perform at his inauguration, her album sales skyrocketed. Now, we know the “Trump effect” was no anomaly. Embracing Trump really can sell albums, as singer Joy Villa learned after this week’s Grammy Awards.

Singer Joy Villa’s album sales spiked significantly after the 25-year-old’s pro-President Trump Grammys dress set social media on fire Sunday.

Villa walked the red carpet wearing a red-white-and-blue dress decorated with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan. Hours after unveiling the gown, digital sales for Villa’s album, I Make the Static, climbed to the top spot on Amazon’s list of top 100 digital albums.

The 2014 rock album’s sales also spiked, hitting the number seven spot on the iTunes top albums list, Fox News reports. According to the screenshot she shared, the singer’s album was beating albums by more well-known artists like Big Sean and Lady Gaga, the latter of whom performed during Sunday night’s ceremony.

As of 9 a.m. Pacific Time on Monday, Villa’s album was at the #11 spot on the iTunes charts, while Lady Gaga’s The Fame was at #33 and Beyoncé’s Album of the Year-nominated Lemonade was at #90.

Lady Gaga may have been praised for her non-political Superbowl halftime show, but it appears politics might not have been a bad idea after all — as long as it’s in support of Trump. See the scale of Villa’s meteoric rise in the photo below, taken from the Amazon music charts:
