The music world is reeling to the news that Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential elections
The news that Donald Trump has been elected president has shaken the music world. Trump, the republican candidate, beat democrat Hillary Clinton securing a vast majority of votes.
Understandably, with Trump initially deemed an outside chance, many pro-Clinton musicians have not taken the news of his presidency so well.
Before the results had landed, Katie Crutchfield made this exciting announcement:
