And has donated plenty over the years. She's pays her employees very well, donates to food pantries in every city she's in and voices public support of candidates. She believes in voting rights and encourages people to vote.

She's found her niche is in music many identify with. Do you criticize Stephen King for writing yet another horror novel instead of a book about (your subject here)? Did you criticize Drake or The Weeknd or Coldplay, all in the top 20 touring acts of last year, for not being political enough?

Just stop.
