At the 2025 Grammy Awards, singer and actress Joy Villa made a statement on the red carpet when she vocally supported Donald Trump’s deportation policies. Dressed in a striking gold ensemble accentuated by a red hat emblazoned with “The Hat Stays On,” Villa used the occasion to express her steadfast support for the former president.
In her remarks to The Hollywood Reporter, Villa articulated her admiration for Trump’s resilience, saying, “The hat stays on. They tried to kill Trump. He’s still alive, thank God. Because they tried to get rid of Trump and now he’s still here, this hat’s not going anywhere.” She emphasized the broad and inclusive support for Trump, mentioning, “There’s a lot of Latinos, a lot of Black Americans, a lot of artists who love Trump. So the hat stays on. We’re not going to get our hats knocked off, hit off or threatened to take it off.” Her words underline a growing movement among diverse communities that continue to rally behind Trump, contradicting liberal narratives that often overlook the nuanced political identities within minority groups.

Villa’s statements also delved into the contentious issue of immigration enforcement. She candidly shared, “I think that the ones that are being deported should be deported. I’m a Latina. My family came to this country legally. I love to see rapists, human traffickers deported. I don’t want to see them here. I want us to be free, for all colors, for all people. That’s what makes America great again.” Her patriotic sentiments reflect a desire for safety and legality, ideals that she argues are undermined by unchecked illegal immigration. The liberal media often overlooks such safety concerns, labeling any form of support for deportations as inherently xenophobic. However, Villa’s perspective illustrates that support for lawful immigration transcends racial and cultural lines, a viewpoint staunchly supported by many of Trump’s followers.
Speaking as an artist, Villa highlighted her personal stake in America’s safety and freedom, explaining, “As an artist, as a musician, I want to be able to walk at night and not think that I’m going to get killed by an illegal alien. So those are the people getting deported, those are the people that should get deported.” Her comments capture a fear and frustration voiced by numerous Americans who feel their concerns have been disregarded by liberal media outlets which often frame deportation policies in a negative light, detached from the realities faced by everyday citizens.

Villa previously made headlines during Trump’s first term when she dressed in a “Make America Great Again” gown, and her continued support for strong immigration policies aligns her with millions who advocate for a safer and law-abiding America. Villa’s bold statements at the Grammys spotlight the complex and multi-faceted support for Trump that persists in creative and minority communities, challenging the oversimplified liberal media narrative.
BRAVO TO HER!!!!
Sounds like a SMART woman. Unfortunately, not a lot of those in Hollywood.
