St. Vincent endorses Kamala Harris, says her grandmother wouldn’t have stood for “disrespect” from Trump

Ahead of Election Day next Tuesday (November 5), the singer took to Instagram to share her endorsement for the current vice president and Democratic candidate.

“Happy Halloween. My costume is my Irish catholic grandmother,” she wrote yesterday (November 1). “Go vote for @kamalaharris, Americans. My grandmother would have. She wouldn’t have stood for all this damn disrespect.”

St. Vincent posted the caption alongside a photo of her in a shower cap, sunglasses and a bathrobe while smoking a cigarette.

The “disrespect” is thought by fans to be in reference to Republican Candidate Donald Trump’s stance on abortion and his previous decision to overturn the landmark reproductive rights bill Roe v. Wade.

Earlier this week, the cast of Marvel’s Avengers, including Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans and Don Cheadle, reunited to endorse Harris in an Instagram clip.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former Republican governor of California, has also said he is voting for Harris. “I will always be an American before I am a Republican,” he said. “That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognise our country. And you are right to be furious.”

High-profile backers of Trump include Kid Rock, Kelsey Grammer, Kanye West and Hulk Hogan.

In other St. Vincent news, she recently released a new single titled ‘Hombre Roto’ (‘Broken Man’), taken from her upcoming Spanish version of her latest album ‘All Born Screaming‘.

In a statement explaining her decision to release a Spanish language album, she reflects on her memorable shows performed in places throughout South America, Mexico, and Spain, stating that “these crowds were united in their passion—singing every word to every song in perfect English. It was truly inspiring.” The album will be released on November 15.

NME caught St. Vincent’s show at London’s Royal Albert Hall earlier this year in June. It earned a four-star review: “Throughout the pulverising 90-minute set, Clark wields her guitar like a weapon and attacks the microphone with a restless urgency.

“Big, cathartic breakdowns teeter on the edge of chaos, but Clark and her four-piece band never let things fall apart completely. It’s gorgeous to watch, but it demands participation as well. With music this charged, there’s simply no standing on the sidelines.”

In another four-star review, this time for the ‘All Born Screaming’ album, NME wrote: “The album’s front section is thrashing and lacerating – a dispatch from the abyss – as she revels in morbid imagery that speaks to a period in which she was besieged by loss (true to mercurial form, she’s declined to be drawn on specifics). And then something strange happens. With the melted Bond theme ‘Violent Times’, she ushers the listener through a secret door that leads to a mellower vibe.”
