Της Δέσποινας Βενέδικτου
Σε… μουσική εξέγερση κατά του Ντόναλντ Τραμπ, μετετράπη η Τελετή Απονομής των American Music Awards.
Αφορμή στάθηκε φυσικά ο νέος θρίαμβος της Taylor Swift, η οποία έγραψε Ιστορία με τα βραβεία που κατέκτησε, επαναφέροντας στο προσκήνιο την πολιτική παρέμβασή της υπέρ των Δημοκρατικών, με ανάρτηση στα social media.
Είναι άλλωστε χαρακτηριστικό ότι, μετά την ανάρτηση της νεαρής τραγουδίστριας, στις ΗΠΑ καταγράφεται αύξηση των πολιτών που εγγράφονται ως ψηφοφόροι για τις Ενδιάμεσες Εκλογές του Νοεμβρίου, κυρίως νεαρές ηλικίες.
