Wearing a gloomy face, controversial American singer, Lady Gaga, staged a protest outside Trump Tower in New York City after Republican Candidate; Donald Trump was announced winner of Tuesday elections in the U.S. Gaga, like several of her colleagues had thrown their weights behind Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. Thus, Gaga’s disposition represented the feeling of most celebrities.
She bore a banner reading “love trumps hate”.
The last few months have been quite dramatic in the hope to get out the vote for Hillary Clinton, as Hollywood celebrities went all the hog to show support for the Democratic Party candidate who eventually lost to Trump, the radical, undiplomatic and obviously feared candidate of the Republican Party.

Never has America witness the kind of aggressive support for a candidate who could have made history as their first female president in a contest that brought her close contender so much hate, over campaign promises that were perceived to be capable of hindering freedom.
The most prominent of the Clinton campaigners was Katy Perry, who went naked on the social media in a kind of sex appeal that is known to suffice as marketing tool.
“TOMORROW, I USE MY BODY AS CLICK BAIT TO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD,” she had said on Twitter and Instagram. She did as promised on Monday.
Katy has been stumping for Hillary since the primaries, trending with hashtags like #ImWithHer ball gown. And just after Trump’s “nasty woman” comment, she was one of the first celebs to order a shirt which she wore while campaigning for Hillary on a college campus.
Katy even used Halloween as an excuse to make headlines for Hillary, undergoing a total transformation, with the help of professional makeup artists and prosthetics, just as she let Clinton use her hit song “Roar” in a final wave of powerful campaign adverts.
Another celeb who showed so much commitment to the Clinton course was Taylor Swift. The singer, who is never known to endorse any celebrity, spotted a shoulder less turtleneck inspired by an exquisite photo of Hillary Clinton, which analysts say was her subtle way of endorsing the Democratic Party candidate without alienating any of her Trump-supporting fans.
Perhaps the most unprecedented support was the one from Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican and former California Governor who, in October made headlines when he publicly announced that he would not vote for Donald Trump.
He said: “For the first time since I became a citizen in 1983, I will not vote for the Republican candidate for president. Like many Americans, I’ve been conflicted this election….But as proud as I am to label myself a Republican, there is one label I hold above all else — American. So I want to take a moment to remind my fellow Republicans that it is not only acceptable to choose your country over your party—it is your duty.”
Chloë Grace Moretz is another celeb who’s been an outspoken supporter of Hillary since the beginning. She doesn’t just talk the talk though—she spent time in Michigan registering people to vote earlier this year.
There is also Kim Kardashian who took to Facebook in September to officially endorse Hillary Clinton, posting a selfie and proclaiming that she was “with her.”
Miley Cyrus also hit up a campus to show her support for Hillary, and she wore a perfectly Miley, totally unforgettable outfit to do it.
Beyoncé on her part had encouraged fans during her Tidal X performance to vote, enjoining fans to save their support for Barack Obama. “I know it seems like things are bad, but if you think that can’t get worse just ask your grandparents. Remember Barack Obama is our President. You made that happen, young people made that happen,” she said to the crowd. “We are not helpless. The fire is still burning. Please go out and vote this November. Too many people have died and sacrificed so much for us to have our voice.” she officially showed her support for Hillary on November 4 at a campaign concert in Cleveland, Ohio.
Now that the table has turned for them, still in shock, they found time for the social media.
Madonna tweeted ‘we never give up’ after Trump was named America’s new president.
Katy Perry tweeted her dismay after Hillary lost the election, saying: “Do not sit still. Do not weep. MOVE. We are not a nation that will let HATE lead us.”
Continuing, she said: “WE WILL NEVER BE SILENCED. #LOVETRUMPSHATE,” before adding: “THE REVOLUTION IS COMING.”
