These Pop Stars Stayed Silent During The Election — Who Did They Vote For?

Take our poll.

During the past election cycle, many big-name pop stars like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and Katy Perry made vocal, public endorsements for a presidential candidate (by and large for Hillary Clinton and not tie salesman/real estate mogul Donald Trump).

That's why it's interesting that the following pop stars seem to not have endorsed a candidate in last year's election, which begs the question: Who did they vote for?

Talk WW Productions

Taylor Swift

Endorsement status: The self-proclaimed feminist posted on Instagram on Election Day urging fans to get out and vote, but never endorsed a candidate — and refrained from denouncing one too. Oh, and there was THAT infamous tweet supporting the Women's March.

Selena Gomez

Endorsement status: Nothing that we could find — although Clinton seems to be a fan of Gomez, penning appraisal for the singer in a 2015 essay for Billboard.

Britney Spears

instagram.com

Endorsement status: Spears actually seemed to initially endorse Clinton early last year, posting a picture with the candidate using the hashtag #ImWithHer. While the picture still remains on her account, Spears seems to have removed the hashtag — and therefore, technically her endorsement.

Carrie Underwood

instagram.com

Endorsement status: Like her fellow Nashville icon Swift, Underwood posted an Election Day photo urging fans to vote — without publicly endorsing a candidate. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she said she wants "people to do their own homework" and not vote for someone because she endorsed them herself. Underwood also skewered both candidates while hosting the CMAs.

Lana Del Rey

Endorsement status: She posted a video urging fans to watch the debates, and spoke to Elle UK about doing research on both candidates — but withheld an official endorsement. That being said, she posted a photo with Joan Baez while the folk music legend wore a "Nasty Woman" shirt and has uploaded a lot of content to her Instagram recently supporting the Obamas, the Standing Rock Sioux. She also shared an image of a Nina Simone quote discussing the role of artists in charged political times.

Bruno Mars

Endorsement status: Nothing. The Cut even wrote a piece on how apolitical Mars is. That being said, the singer is one of the many artists rumored to have turned down the offer to perform at Trump's inauguration.

Jason Derulo

instagram.com

Endorsement status: It appears Derulo didn't endorse a candidate, BUT he recently posted a picture of the Obamas to his Instagram account AND uploaded a video of Denzel Washington talking about fake news. Make of that what you will.

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

instagram.com

Endorsement status: The two were involved in some Twitter drama with Debra Messing last year when Blake was RUMORED to be voting for Trump. But Shelton responded that he didn't plan on endorsing anyone and it looks like Stefani stayed silent on the matter.

Dolly Parton

instagram.com

Endorsement status: It doesn't look like the country legend publicly endorsed either candidate (or a third party option), but she did tell CNN she thinks "they're both nuts." She also clarified earlier in the year that she wouldn't endorse a candidate, saying, "I try not to get political."

And that's that on that!
