[tulipsandroses]

Fans are disappointed to learn that icon Gloria Gaynor has reportedly donated nearly $22,000 to right-wing politicians and organizations since 2023.

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

The revelation comes just two weeks after Gaynor, 81, who is best known for her 1978 anthem “I Will Survive,” was announced as an honoree for the upcoming 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, which will be hosted by Trump himself. Gaynor, alongside Tulsa King star Sylvester Stallone, country singer George Strait, British actor Michael Crawford, and rock band KISS, will be among the first to receive the prestigious award since President Donald Trump took over the institution by firing a number of board members and appointing himself as the chairman.

In 2016, Gaynor reportedly donated $235.00 in support of Ben Carson, but, according to FEC donation records, didn’t donate politically for years afterwards until the 2023-2024 political season; that’s when it was uncovered that Gaynor had donated multiple times to right-wing candidates and groups reaching more than $20,000. Republicans and groups who have benefited from Gaynor’s donations include:

Mike Johnson – $2160.57
