In a very fun moment at the 2025 Grammys pop singer Joy Villa, the same singer who showed up at the Grammys in 2017 in an awesome “Make America Great Again” dress, wore a Trump and MAGA-inspired red hat when she showed up, and dropped jaws when she told the woke press that she loves seeing Trump deport the worst sorts of criminals.
The hat she wore was a MAGA-red trucker hat of the sort that the Trump Campaign first made famous in 2015, when he first started running, and the hat quickly came to symbolize the whole MAGA movement and its proud defiance of the scolding, woke mainstream it so despises. However, instead of saying, “Make America Great Again,” Villa’s hat said “The Hat Stays On,” a similar message of defiance against the leftist scolds.
Villa’s comments on her hat and support for Trump came when she spoke to The Hollywood Reporter at the Grammys, saying that her look stands for American exceptionalism and celebrating Trump’s survival when assassins tried to kill him. She said, “This look is all about American exceptionalism, freedom — so the hat stays on — they tried to kill Trump, he’s still alive, thank God.”
Continuing, she emphasized her point about the assassin trying to murder Trump on a stage in front of thousands, hinting in her comments with the word “they” that she thinks there was more going on. She said, “Because they tried to get rid of Trump and now he’s still here, this hat’s not going anywhere.”
Still not done, Villa reminded the journalist with The Hollywood Reporter that there are a great many Americans of all stripes who supported President Trump in the election and have lined up to support his agenda, saying, “Like the red-hat army that we’ve seen — there’s a lot of Latinos, a lot of black Americans, a lot of artists who love Trump.”
Returning to the matter of her hat, she said that the hat she was wearing wouldn’t come off, regardless of what threats are directed her way as she wears it proudly while out in public, such as at the Grammys. She said, “So the hat stays on. We’re not going to get our hats knocked off, hit off or threatened to take it off.”
Then, commenting on her gold dress, the pop singer went on to explain who made it and what it symbolizes to her, saying, “The dress is by Andre Soriano, a gay Filipino immigrant. It represents cryptocurrency, which is definitely the new wave of freedom, and I’m here to make America glamorous again.” Watch her here:

Villa also spoke about Trump’s agenda to the journalist with The Hollywood Reporter, cheering his mass deportation campaign and saying that those people who have been deported so far very much deserve it, given their behavior. She said, “I think the ones that should be deported are being deported.”
Building on that, she commented on what sort of people she thinks are being deported and what she thinks about Trump finally taking action to get them out of the country. She said, “I’m a Latina, my family came to this country legally, and I love to see rapists, human traffickers deported. I don’t want to see them here.”
She added, commenting on America and the atmosphere of fear created by mass illegal immigration, “I want us to be free, for all colors, for all people. That’s what makes America great again. So we can create, so we can live. As an artist, as a musician, I want to be able to walk at night and not think that I’m going to get killed by an illegal alien.” She then said, emphasizing that, “And those are the people getting deported. Those are the people that should get deported.”
