In this age of hyperpartisan politics, performers have taken to lecturing concert-goers who paid for the price of a ticket to a political lecture as well. A recent example came from Lady Gaga, who at her Tuesday night concert in Arlington claimed that Texas was a "purple" state, and that she hoped her fans would help turn it "blue."
Writing for the Houston Chronicle, Ariana Garcia praised and highlighted parts of Lady Gaga's speech:
During Lady Gaga's Arlington, Texas stop Tuesday night for her ongoing Chromatica Ball Tour, the popstar gave an impassioned two-minute speech encouraging the Lone Star State to transform its "purple heart." Because, to paraphrase her oft used wisdom, there can be a hundred red voters in a room, but it might take only one to turn them blue.
Between her sets, Gaga called Texas a "special place" where a lot of "conversations, a lot of dialogue, a lot of opinions, even some division" happens. "I want to celebrate you all tonight in the name of love," she added. "I want to celebrate the importance of these hard conversations. From what I understand, right now, this state has a purple, purple heart. I think I'm hoping that that purple is gonna go blue. And if there's anything you can do about it, I want to hear you yell."

True but they’ll vote for who she says to vote for. That’s the danger!
An interesting comparison is the difference between how the Democrats in Texas got out The Cheat in 2016 and 2020.
In 2016, they used the usual Texas Democrat strongholds, and the border counties that have a larger population of invaders.
Since that didn't work, in 2020 the Democrats used a "brute force" election rigging technique.
They took a list of the most populous Texas counties, and rigged them right down the line.
One of the ways that you can see this - some of the "big Hillary turnout" border counties in 2016 had a drop-off in 2020 [because they were smaller population counties]...
Yeah, I totally depend on celebrities for political analysis. /s
“Purple” is weird liberal cope.
It’s true lemming can’t read only follow.
How I choose car insurance and meds and clothes and cars and...... If there’s a celebrity endorsement, I’m in. NOT! 😂😂😂😂🙌
Who cares..
These people literally STEP AND FETCH for a living.... they are entertainers, nothing more...
Their “fans” who would be offended by this have learned that they get to spend way to much money to be talked down to by someone.... Lesson Learned.
Shut up you washed-up hag of a slut! You’re ugly and no one likes you.
Well Lady Gag Gag can get her butt outta Texas and take the equally insufferable Beano O’Dork and Matthew McConaughey with her!!!!
Lady Caca.
Lady CACA’s lack of beauty is only matched by her color blindness. Deep Red looks purple to this flunt.
