Jack Antonoff is asking his community to stay strong following Kamala Harris’ losing the 2024 presidential election against twice-impeached convicted felon Donald Trump.
In a heartfelt message addressed “to my people” on X Wednesday (Nov. 6), one day after Election Day, the 40-year-old producer reminded followers, “we turn to each other at the best times as we do at the worst times.”
“our community is alive because we lift and take care of each other,” he continued. “we are not moved by bulls–t. when we’re afraid we lean on each other. right now we are going to do exactly that. we are going to be there for each other.”
Antonoff went on to give fans a meaningful call to action, noting that The Ally Coalition — which he founded in 2013 with his sister, designer Rachel Antonoff, to support LGBTQ youth — will “not rest” in their activism post-election. “do not be cynical,” he wrote. “do not have the conversation alone in your head. go be together. be around those who do not assume the worst of you.”
“fight for the rights of oppressed people,” he added. “respect the earth and its creatures. live with the most dignity and remember that every tiny thing is carried on.”
The Bleachers frontman is one of many artists disheartened by Trump’s return to power, with Ariana Grande, Ethel Cain, Billie Eilish, Cardi B and several more stars all sharing messages of disappointment to social media over the past 36 hours. One of Antonoff’s 2024 collaborators, Sabrina Carpenter, addressed the election results at her Nov. 6 concert in Seattle, telling the crowd: “I hope we can be a moment of peace for you, a moment of safety … sorry about our country, and to the women in here, I love you so so so so so much.”
The former Fun band member has long been open about his dislike of Trump, from joking about the president-elect wearing diapers with Jimmy Kimmel in April to slamming what he called a “Trumpian approach” to spreading false information when Damon Albarn accused Taylor Swift — another frequent Antonoff collaborator — of not writing her own songs in 2022. He’s also spent his career being a fierce advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and recently announced his Public Studios initiative, which will build studios in LGBTQ+ youth shelters and create a network of engineers to train aspiring producers in those communities with the Ally Coalition’s help.

After the 2024 presidential race was called for Donald Trump on Wednesday (Nov. 6), plenty of people flocked to social media looking for catharsis. One such person was singer-songwriter Maren Morris, who decided to give those people something to listen to. In a post to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday night, the “Push Me Over” […]
Cardi B has very little patience left to test following the 2024 election.
After the results of this week’s election declared that Donald Trump will once again return to the White House as president of the United States, the 32-year-old rapper — who had ridden hard for his opponent, Kamala Harris — issued a warning to the Republican victor’s supporters on X Wednesday (Nov. 6). “Listen, I’mma let y’all know this right now,” she began, filming herself while walking through a Target parking lot.
“So you know, Trumpettes, y’all won, I know y’all happy,” Cardi continued. “Ain’t nobody acting like they’re the losers. However, y’all need to leave me the f–k alone. Because I got one more f–king cigarette in me before I start lighting your asses up. Aight?”
“And that’s word to the United States of motherf–king America,” the Grammy winner added.
Cardi’s message is only the latest post she’s made since Trump won the presidency, with the star also sharing a heartfelt message to Harris on social media Wednesday. “No matter what they’ve said to bring you down or belittle your run for presidency they can never say you didn’t run your race with honesty and with integrity!” she wrote. “This may not mean much but I am so proud of you! No one has ever made me change my mind and you did!”
The “WAP” artist is part of a large group of stars who have shared reactions to Trump’s victory, her post coming amid other disheartened messages from Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Bette Midler, Ethel Cain and more. As votes for the twice-impeached president-elect poured in Tuesday night (Nov. 5), Cardi also wrote on Instagram Stories, “I hate y’all bad.”
The Whipshots founder was outspoken in her support for Harris even before the former prosecutor took over the Democratic ticket from President Joe Biden, telling followers on Instagram Live over the summer, “They should’ve passed the torch to Kamala.” After the VP entered the race, Cardi frequently supported the politician on social media and in interviews before speaking at one of Harris’ final rallies in Milwaukee.
“Like Kamala Harris, I’ve been the underdog, underestimated, and had my success belittled,” she said at the Nov. 1 event. “I didn’t have faith in any candidates until she joined and spoke the words I wanted to hear about the future of this country.”
On Wednesday (Nov. 6), Harris conceded the election to Trump with a speech at her alma mater, Howard University. She told the the tearful crowd, “Sometimes the fight takes a while — that doesn’t mean we won’t win,” and reminded supporters that “this is not a time to throw up our hands — this is a time to roll up our sleeves.”

Like a lot of musicians who supported Vice President Kamala Harris in her losing bid to deny former President Donald Trump a second White House term, Sabrina Carpenter took the stage on Wednesday night (Nov. 6) with a heavy heart. During her show at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, Carpenter did not refer to Trump by […]
Billie Eilish didn’t mince words on Wednesday night (Nov. 6) during her show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, less than a day after former President Donald Trump easily defeated Vice President Kamala Harris to secure his second White House term. The singer who had endorsed Harris — along with her brother/producer Finneas — was characteristically blunt in her assessment of Tuesday night’s results.

“Let’s say convicted predator, let’s say that,” Eilish said without naming Trump, who was found liable in 2023 for sexually abusing, and defaming, advice columnist E. Jean Carroll in 1996 and ordered to pay nearly $5 million in damages in that case, as well as $83.3 million in a related case; Trump, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than two dozen women dating back to the 1970s, has appealed the verdicts in the Carroll cases and denied all the allegations of sexual abuse.

Seated on stage with an acoustic guitar across her lap, Eilish admitted her heart was beating “so fast” as she referred to Trump, again without explicitly naming him, as someone who “hates women so, so deeply is about to be the President of the United States of America. This song is for all the women out there. I love you, I support you.”
Eilish paused as some in the crowd yelled “f–k Trump!”
“So this song is for all the women out there,” she continued before dedicating her 2021 Happier Than Ever ballad “Your Power” to the women in the crowd. The poignant lyrics include the lines, “Try not to abuse your power/ I know we didn’t choose to change/ You might not wanna lose your power/ But having it’s so strange.”
Eilish also told her fans that when she woke up that morning she “couldn’t fathom” doing a show that night, but as the day went on she realized the “privilege” of getting to perform for them after the let-down of Harris’ decisive loss to Trump, who will become the first convicted felon to ascend to the nation’s highest office.
“And the song that we’re about to do is… about the abuse that exists in this world upon women and a lot of the experiences that I have gone through and that people I know have gone through. And to tell you the truth, I’ve never met one single woman who doesn’t have a story of abuse. Not one,” she said at the show on her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour.
“I’ve dealt with some stuff myself and I have been taken advantage of. My boundaries were crossed to say it politely,” she added before telling them, “I just love you so much and I want you to know that you’re safe with me and you’re protected here and you are safe in this room.”
During a performance of her song “TV” — which references the overturning of Roe v. Wade following Trump’s appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices during his first term — Eilish sang, “The internet’s gone wild watching movie stars on trial/ While they’re overturning Roe v. Wade,” before standing mute for a few moments and then walking off stage without further comment.
Eilish was one of many stars who spoke out following Trump’s decisive victory on Tuesday night, writing on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday morning “it’s a war on women.”
Bruce Springsteen reacted to Tuesday’s presidential election results in the best way he knows how: by singing a song about freedom, hope, love and loss. “This is a fighting prayer for my country,” Springsteen told the crowd at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto as he and the E Street Band launched into the 2007 song “Long Walk Home” from 2007’s Magic album.
With that, the band tore into the mid-tempo rocker whose lyrics felt especially timely in light of Springsteen’s vocal, emphatic support of Vice President Kamala Harris’ losing campaign against former and now future President Donald Trump. “Last night I stood at your doorstep/ Trying to figure out what went wrong,” he sang on the song with the poignant refrain: “It’s gonna be a long walk home/ Hey pretty darling, don’t wait up for me/ Gonna be a long walk home.”
Though he didn’t comment further on the relevance of the song’s themes, their plainspoken poetry did the talking for him. “My father said ‘Son, we’re lucky in this town/ It’s a beautiful place to be born/ It just wraps its arms around you/ Nobody crowds you and nobody goes it alone,’” he sang, followed by another verse layered with Springsteen’s signature dream of a better tomorrow and faith in the resilience of the American spirit: “Your flag flyin’ over the courthouse/ Means certain things are set in stone/ Who we are, what we’ll do and what we won’t.”
Springsteen had been all-in for Harris, throwing his weight behind the 11th-hour candidacy by filming the moving “Hope and Dreams” campaign video in which he said, “This election is about a group of folks who want to fundamentally undermine our American way of life. Donald Trump does not understand this country, its history, or what it means to be deeply American. I want a president who reveres the Constitution, who wants to protect and guide our great democracy, who believes in the rule of law and the peaceful transfer of power, who will fight for women’s rights and a woman’s right to choose, and who wants to create a middle class economy that serves all our citizens.”
The comments came from an Oct. 28 Harris rally where Springsteen shared the stage with John Legend and former President Barack Obama. That appearance in Philadelphia came just days after The Boss joined a Harris rally in Georgia, where he told supporters that she was “running to be the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump is running to be an American tyrant.”
Springsteen was one of dozens of musicians, actors and other artists who threw in with the Harris campaign’s attempt to stop twice impeached Trump from being just the second man to serve non-consecutive White House terms, as well as the first convicted felon to ascend to the nation’s highest office.

In the wake of Donald Trump’s stunning win in the 2024 presidential election, singer-songwriter Ethel Cain is letting out her rage.
In a post to her Tumblr on Wednesday (Nov. 6), the “American Teenager” singer laid into the American political system, decrying the methods by which members of the electorate are turned against one another. “The problem is that America has beaten down its people for decades and gotten them weak and desperate and now promises a way out, a way to transcend and rise above, through selling out their fellow man,” she wrote. “An embarrassingly large chunk of white men are just straight up nazis these days as a way to dissociate from the rest of the carnage around them, even if they’re broke and uneducated and from an impoverished background themselves.”
Cain, who has been a vocal critic of both the Republican and Democratic tickets in the 2024 election, went on to say that modern political discourse has made everyone “so incredibly hateful,” and warned that the president-elect was far from the only issue in our current system.
“It’s not even about Trump at this point. He’s gonna get in office and do whatever he does and it’s gonna be a mess but whatever. This is indicative of deeper problem,” she wrote. “There is no solidarity and there is no love. Trump being in office or not doesn’t change the fact that America is a breeding ground for violent hatred … if anything COULD be done about it, Trump certainly wouldn’t do it. Honestly, Kamala probably wouldn’t have either. We are so deeply f–ked.”
The singer went on to deliver a direct message to any Trump supporters reading her post: “If you voted for Trump, I hope that peace never finds you. Instead, I hope clarity strikes you someday like a clap of lightning and you have to live the rest of your life with the knowledge and guilt of what you’ve done and who you are as a person,” she wrote.
As for the rest of her followers, Cain said that since “we can’t count on the government,” it would come down to them. “Just keep up the good fight in your own personal lives,” she wrote. “That’s literally the only thing to be done at this point. Stay safe out there. Maybe buy a gun.”
Cain joins a rising chorus of voices reacting negatively to Trump’s re-election. Cardi B wrote “I hate y’all so bad” after the race was called for the Republican nominee, while Billie Eilish said that his win represented “a war on women.”
