I do get your point but I think it’s working ……I will say the young-ins all love her.

I don’t care if an artist declares those kinds of opinions or which political leader he/she supports, as long as it doesn't go overboard and influence their presentations (or support a proven criminal, of course).

For example, I saw Roger Waters The Dark Side of the Moon Live tour in 2007. I think it was the best concert I have ever seen (yes, I admit that even though I’m a Fleetwood Mac Fan). So I was very excited when he came back in 2018, but days before I read he was mentioning something against some leader of the country where he was singing, for being accused of some crime, corruption, etc. That usually generated applause from half the audience, and boo from the other half

Fortunately he didn't do that in Lima, he just shared his opinion "Stop corruption!" without mentioning anyone, which I thought was very appropriate. The entire audience applauded him.

But a large part of thne show he projected the image of a famous leader, who was ruling at the time. No matter who he was, or whether I agreed with it or not, it seemed exaggerated to me and I felt saturated at the end with so much political messages, most of them based on memes and caricatures of this person. I was looking to appreciate the artist's music, not attend a political meeting, and for a large part of the concert I felt like I was at one. That's the reason the 2007 concert was far better than the 2018 show.
