I LOVE IT – VIEWERS VOTED WITH THEIR CREDIT CARDS – AT 10:38 A.M. ET:  We started reporting on this last night.  A big risk for a conservative singer has paid off at the cash box.  From Fox: 

Joy Villa's music sales skyrocketed after the singer wore a pro-Trump dress at Sunday night's 59th annual Grammy Awards. When she arrived at the Grammys, Villa flung off a white frock to reveal a gown of patriotic red, white and blue that urged "Make America Great Again" and had "Trump" in sparkly letters on the back hem.

The 25-year-old's EP "I Make the Static" jumped to the top of Amazon's top digital paid albums and reached number seven on the iTunes top album chart after her red carpet appearance.

The singer explained her controversial look on Instagram.

"Go big, or go home. You can either stand for what you believe or fall for what you don't. Above all make a choice for tolerance and love. Agree to disagree," she wrote after her red carpet appearance.

The dress' designer, Andre Soriano, said on Instagram the gown is a "tribute [to] OUR President Of The United States Of America" adding the hashtag #MAGA.

COMMENT:  I'm glad someone showed up for the other side, in the midst of the expected Trump-bashing.  There are conservartives in the entertainment industry.  I know some of them.  But many are afraid to speak out for fear of being essentially blacklisted.
