It’s August 2017, and Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States, even if she beat current President Donald Trump in the popular vote. For better and worse, Katy Perry has spent much of her hosting role for the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards reminding those watching of that fact. When she later returned to talk about how voting was still open for the “Best New Artist” category, Perry referenced that popular vote issue from the 2016 election. “Listen guys, this is one election where the popular vote actually matters,” said Perry, before adding that viewers should vote so a “Russian” artist didn’t win. In the 2016 election, Perry was a vocal supporter of Clinton’s campaign, even lending her song “Roar” to a Clinton campaign advertisement.
