    If the Golden Globes showed us anything, there will be plenty of political statements during the Grammy Awards, and Joy Villa got the party started with an outfit completely dedicated to Donald Trump and Making America Great Again.

    Basically, she showed up like this:

    And then was just all:

    Well, this is sure to get a lot of attention. By which we mean it's only a matter of time before Trump tweets about how he finally has a celebrity on his team.

    FYI, Villa explained her clutch with the following Instagram caption: "My whole artistic platform is about LOVE! I couldn't be where I am today without the love and tenderness of those beautiful supporters and friends around me. Thank you I hope you enjoy tonight's @grammysawards2017 and remember to forget your problems and focus on your future! You are infinite and beautiful and no one can stop you but you. So go out and celebrate yourself as a winner no matter what, together with those you adore!"
