Joy Villa’s controversial Trump dress sees album hit number 1
Celebrities like Madonna, George Clooney, Miley Cyrus and Lena Dunham have all been vocal about their support for Hillary Clinton in the past American Presidential election, but very few celebs have stood behind POTUS Donald Trump.
At the Grammy awards, one dress stood out on the red carpet a heck of a lot more than others, and it was all down to politics.
Singer/ songwriter Joy Villa donned a controversial dress showing her support for Donald Trump in a way that no celebrity had done before.
The 25-year-old's fishtail dress was emblazoned with the words "make America great again," and featured Trump's name on the train.
The dress was covered up with a white cape before the dramatic red carpet reveal.
Since the stunt, Joy's EP I Make The Static shot to number one on the iTunes download chart.
The singer's social media following also increased dramatically, going from 15,000 Twitter followers to 106,000 in a matter of hours.
"No more being hidden, no more shame for standing on what you believe in. No matter your religion, your race or your political views remember you have a right to uphold them," the singer captioned an Instagram post of the ensemble that outraged many.
"Personal integrity is the highest honour of all."

The Phillipino designer of the dress Andre Soriano told the Hollywood Reporter: "We need to move this country forward, and we believe it’s time to promote love,"
"We only live once, and we need to promote love. We have one president now who is going to do the best thing for planet America."
Donald Trump has yet to tweet about Joy's daring gown.
