‘I Will Survive’ singer has reportedly donated nearly $22,000 to right-wing politicians and organizations since 2023

Disco icon Gloria Gaynor has been revealed as a major MAGA donor following her surprise selection by President Donald Trump to receive a prestigious Kennedy Center honor.

The 81-year-old singer, whose best-known hit, “I Will Survive,” is considered an LGBTQ+ anthem, was among a handful of stage, screen, and music legends confirmed by Trump to be honored at this year’s ceremony. It was initially unknown what Gaynor’s connection to the president was, and whether she would accept the honor.

However, the two-time Grammy winner has now confirmed she will indeed be accepting the award. “My hope is that in accepting this honor, I can continue with the inspirational phenomenon that began with ‘I Will Survive,’” she said Wednesday in a statement, per the Daily Mail.

“Sharing my music and art on a global level to provide encouragement, hope, empowerment, inspiration, understanding, and unity is the core of my purpose.”

It’s also been uncovered that Gaynor has donated nearly $22,000 to right-wing candidates and conservative organizations since 2023.
