Shania Twain issued an apology Sunday night to any fans she may have “offended” after she said in an interview with The Guardian that she would have voted for Donald Trump “because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest.” Following a social-media backlash, Twain tweeted, “As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context... I am passionately against discrimination of any kind and hope it’s clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current president.” She added, “My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him. I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows.” Twain is scheduled to start a months-long arena tour supporting her most recent album a week from Thursday.
