I would assume most artists would do a great many things to get their music out to a larger crowd. Dogging the young lady for this seems like sour grapes on a number of levels. 

The message I'm being sold in the OP is that this young lady has more talent BECAUSE she is able to sell more albums BECAUSE she appeals to a certain political demographic BECAUSE she is willing to sing at President Trump's inauguration. You don't see any flaws in that logic? Does selling more albums mean someone has more talent than other musicians? If you believe that, how can you explain Miley Cirus or Justin Beiber? In fact, I'm pretty certain musical talent has little to do with album sales anymore. Personally, I don't think that is a good thing.

Obviously, this young lady is "playing the game" she needs to play to get attention and pursue her goals: the same game Miley plays (although I'm sure she has more talent than Miley). But I'll stick to my personal preference: I'd much rather people buy my work because it is good and not because of any political affiliation.
