Shania Twain apologizes for saying she would have voted for Donald Trump

Shania Twain apologized for her comments and clarified she does "not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President":

I would like to apologise to anybody I have offended in a recent interview with the Guardian relating to the American President. The question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context

I am passionately against discrimination of any kind and hope it’s clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President

I was trying to explain, in response to a question about the election, that my limited understanding was that the President talked to a portion of America like an accessible person they could relate to

My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows.

Country star, Canadian citizen and Swiss resident Shania Twain did not vote in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, but she has indicated that she would have voted for Donald Trump if she had the opportunity to do so.

The singer discussed her long absence from recording and performing in the 2000s and an abrupt shift to American politics when she mentioned her vote would've gone to Trump.

"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest," she says of Trump. "Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bulls---. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent."

The smart move for any entertainer who’s business is not specifically political (e.g. Rush, Maddow) is to say “I don’t comment on politics”.

No one cares what they think anyway.

It was dumb for her to say she’d vote for trump in the first place. She’s Canadian and we already have a problem with illegals voting. When this was reported and conservatives were high fiving each other. I thought how dumb to be advocating for a foreigner to vote. Now that is truly stupid!!!!!

Further proof, that if you’re in the entertainment business, it’s best if you just keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about.
