Tinashe Sends Message to Republican Fans During 2026 Midterm Elections: ‘Y’all Can Go’
The singer implored fans to hit the polls.
On Election Day Tuesday (Nov. 3), Tinashe, the singer, urged her fans to vote, but she specifically expressed her disapproval of Republican voices in her audience. "VOTE OR DIE ! LET’S GO AMERICA," she posted on X with blue heart emojis. A fan questioned her approach, remarking, "You literally just refuse to listen to those of us with sense. did you have to have the blue hearts...alienating your red audience? girl, are you neurodivergent? it gets to a point."
Tinashe responded bluntly, "Y’all can go." A displeased fan responded, "You do realize there is no telling how much money your Republican fans have given you right? ...You turn around and tell them to get out. What a great person. Lol will never listen to you again." Despite the backlash, Tinashe didn't back down, replying firmly, "I do not care."
Democrats gained control of Congress in the 2026 midterm elections, winning 54 seats in the Senate and 237 in the House. Throughout her career, Tinashe has used her platform to speak out, including criticizing Donald Trump, participating in a Black Lives Matter protest, and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. The 33-year-old singer released her album 'POPSTAR' in September, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
She will continue her 'One Night With a Popstar' tour with a concert at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood, Calif., on Saturday (Nov. 7).
